Washbacks

  • The wort is cooled in a wort cooler by running cold water over or through metal plates
  • The cooled wort is then transferred to a washback for fermentation by adding yeast
  • The wash backs are usually made from Stainless Steel larch or pine.
  • Sometimes a combination of Distillers and brewers yeast is used.
  • 12kg to 14kg per ton of barley – translated to 125kg years for 42000 litres of wort
  • The temperature at this critical stage is around 34 degrees
