Lauter Tun from 1BBL to 20BBL

A lauter tun is a brewing vessel that separates wort (unfermented beer) from spent grains. It is usually a huge, cylindrical vessel with a fake bottom and a spigot to drain the wort. The fake bottom consists of a series of screens or plates that enable the wort to pass while retaining the grains in the tun.

In the lauter tun, the wort is separated from the spent grains. The false bottom of the tun allows the wort to pass through while keeping the grains in the tun. The wort is then collected in a separate vessel, ready for the next stage of the brewing process.

How to Use a Lauter Tun.

Using a lauter tun may appear frightening, but with the proper expertise and equipment, it can be a simple procedure.

The following are the basic processes for using a lauter tun:

Prepare the Grains: Before beginning the lautering process, the grains must be crushed to release the fermentable sugars. This can be accomplished with a grain mill or by buying pre-crushed grains.
Heat the Water: The next step is to get the water to the desired temperature. This will depend on the type of beer being produced and the recipe used.
Once the water has heated, add the grains to the mash tun and mix thoroughly. The mash tun should be insulated to keep the desired temperature.
transport to the Lauter Tun: When the mashing process is finished, transport the wort to the lauter tun. The tun’s artificial bottom will help separate the wort from the grains.
Lautering: Pass the wort through the false bottom and collect it in a separate jar. This procedure may take some time, depending on the size of the lauter tun and how much wort is collected.
Sparging: After the wort has been recovered, rinse the grains with hot water to extract any leftover sugars. The technique is called as sparging.
Boil the Wort: The wort is now ready to be combined with hops and other additives to enhance taste and bitterness.
Cool and Ferment: After boiling, the wort must be cooled before being transferred to a fermenter where yeast will be added in order to start fermentation.

Proper maintenance of your lauter tun is essential to ensure its longevity and efficiency.

Here are some tips for maintaining your lauter tun:

Clean after each use: After each use, the lauter tun should be spotless to remove any residue or buildup. This will help to prevent any off-flavors in future batches.
Inspect the false bottom: Regularly inspect the false bottom of the lauter tun for any damage or wear. If any issues are found, they should be addressed immediately to prevent any issues during the lautering process.
Check the spigot: The spigot should also be checked regularly for any leaks or damage. If any issues are found, they should be addressed immediately to prevent any loss of wort during the lautering process.

The staff is very nice, and the price is very competitive. Very friendly conversation. The products are meticulously crafted, and there are third-party product certifications, the quality is more guaranteed, and I am very satisfied with the products.

Nice fermentor, the company made some small changes we requested with out any hesitation, the only issue was there were a few minor weld defects which could have been improved, they are very receptive to the feed back and we are considering them for further work.

Everything arrived and packaged well. Shipping was crazy but the supplier did a good job to resolve and get my equipment shipped in time.Thanks very much.

I was a bit apprehensive about buying from an unknown manufacturer overseas, I took a chance, and it paid off big time for me. The goods were packed very well and arrived in perfect condition.

Very good service, and good advice. The team are always ready to answer customer question, and product are high quality, it's perfect. Thanks your team for good service

I looked at a lot of stills and found that buying a cheap one would be throwing away money. So I checked out professional built and designed stills. I looked on e-bay, Amazon and private companies in the US and found the best deal on Alibaba with Wenzhou Ace Machine. Great to communicate with, patient, respond quickly and professional. It's built as solid as it looks, like a tank. It should last a long time.
