Efficient Wet Milling - Enhance Your Brewing Quality with Advanced Malt Processing
How to preform malt wet milling?
Wet milling of malt is an innovative brewing technology that significantly improves beer quality and brewhouse efficiency. By adding a controlled amount of water to the malt before crushing, the husk becomes soft and elastic, ensuring gentle separation during milling. This process keeps the husk intact while breaking the inner endosperm effectively, creating the ideal grist for mashing. Here’s how it is typically done:
Soak the Malt:
Before milling, the malt is moistened with water, usually around 10 -20% of the malt weight, to make the husk soft and flexible. The moisture helps prevent the husk from breaking into small pieces.
Adjust the Mill Gap:
Set the roller mill gap slightly tighter than in dry milling, since the softened malt is easier to crush.
Feed the Malt into the Mill:
The moistened malt is fed into the wet mill, where it is crushed between rollers. The goal is to break the endosperm while keeping the husk as intact as possible.
Collect the Milled Malt (Grist):
The resulting wet grist is transferred directly to the mash tun to start mashing. Since the malt is already wet, it mixes more easily with brewing water, and the extraction process becomes more efficient.
Clean the Equipment After Milling:
Because wet milling involves moisture, thorough cleaning and drying of the mill and conveying system after use are necessary to prevent mold or corrosion.
The advantages of malt wet milling?
Compared with traditional dry milling, wet milling offers several outstanding advantages:
- Higher extract efficiency
- Improved lautering performance
- Reduced oxygen pickup, and less dust during operation.
- The intact husk layer protects the filter bed, leading to faster wort runoff and clearer wort.
