Summary

Once the mash rest is complete, brewers are often taught to perform a vorlauf, which involves recirculating sweet wort until it flows clear so as not to transfer spent grain bits to the brew kettle. In this episode, contributor Andy Carter joins Marshall to discuss the vorlauf process as well as the results of a very interesting xBmt on the topic. The Brülosophy Podcast is brought to you by Imperial Yeast who provide brewers with the most viable and fresh yeast on the market.

I'm your host, Marshall Schott, and in this this episode contributor Andy Carter is with me to talk
