Talk:Lautering

Sparging
In the previous version of this page it was stated that "Home brewers typically use English sparging, except that the second batch of water is only held long enough for the grain bed to settle, after which recirculation and draining occurs". In twenty-three years as a homebrewer and nineteen as a certified beer judge I have never encountered a homebrewer who followed or a homebrewing text which recommended such a regimen unless one sought to create two different beers from one mash; hence my changes to the text.

Single source - How to Brew (Palmer)
This article is largely taken from Chapter 17 of John Palmer's How to Brew. HTB is a great book, but it is specific to home brewing and reflects Palmer's experience, not the many points of view that we expect on WP. For example, a statement like "Mashout is considered especially necessary if there is less than 3 liters of water per kilogram of grain" is not universally true...it depends on the crush of the grain, the equipment used, depth of the grain bed, etc. I'm going to start looking, but anybody with additional sources on lautering is strongly encouraged to add them. -Xpctr8 (talk) 01:44, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Pronunciation
It's far from obvious how to pronounce "lautering." Some guidance would be useful. --LarsMarius (talk) 20:22, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
