Mash filtration: influence of sparging parameters onwort quality and sparging efficiency

摘要

Sparging is the longest step of the mash filtration process, whatever the filtration technology.rnIt is directly linked to the yield since the target is extract recovery, and it influences wortrnquality mainly with the risk of excessive elution.rnThis paper presents results of pilot mash filtration trials where the influence of differentrnsparging parameters on wort quality and sparging efficiency were studied.rnSome results, notably at high sparging flow rates or at higher sparging temperature, arernencouraging in order to allow cycle optimisation and to consider future brewing processes.
