With increase of beer output, more and more breweries will consider using filter press to replace lauter tun. We had already introduced filter press in another blog. So, what is advantage of filter press compared to lauter tun?        
A filter press and a lauter tun are two different methods of separating solids from liquids in the context of brewing or cider making. Each method has its advantages and considerations. Here are the advantages of a filter press compared to a lauter tun:  

 
Advantages of Filter Press: 
 
Efficient Filtration: Filter presses are known for their high efficiency in separating solids from liquids. They use pressure to force the liquid through filter media, effectively removing fine particles and sediment. This results in a clearer liquid with reduced turbidity.
 
Adjustable Filtration: Filter presses offer flexibility in adjusting the filtration process. The pressure applied can be adjusted to achieve desired levels of filtration and clarity. This allows for fine-tuning the filtration process based on the specific requirements of the beverage being produced.
 
Fast Filtration: Filter presses can often achieve faster filtration rates compared to a lauter tun. The pressure-driven filtration process helps to expedite the separation of solids from liquids, reducing the overall filtration time.
 
Consistent Filtration: Filter presses provide consistent and repeatable filtration results. Once the optimal filtration parameters are established, the process can be replicated consistently, ensuring a reliable and uniform product quality.
 
Less Water Usage: Filter presses typically require less water compared to a lauter tun. The filtration process in a filter press is a closed system, where the liquid is forced through the filter media, minimizing water usage during the process.
 
It's important to note that there are also advantages to using a lauter tun. Lauter tuns are commonly used in traditional brewing processes and offer their own benefits, such as the ability to perform a mash and extract sugars from grains. The choice between a filter press and a lauter tun ultimately depends on the specific requirements, desired product quality, and production processes of the brewery.
