Application
The crushed malt is mixed with brewing water to create the mash. The mixture is heated in the mash tun and the natural enzymes convert the insoluble grain starch into soluble malt sugar. During the process, all the malt ingredients important for the beer are transferred to the brewing liquor. The end product is then clarified, separating the enriched brewing liquor from the solids. Continuous level measurement is required during the cooking process.
