Glossary
Gushing
The spontaneous and sometimes vigorous overfoaming of bottled beer when a non-shaken bottle is opened.
Bohemian Pilsener
Bohemian is the original name of the lands which eventually became the Czech Republic. Bohemian Pilsner, which has been popularised by Matilda Bay Brewing Company with their naming of a beer which is frequently mis-understood to be a style rather than a beer name by drinkers. Crisp, complex and well-rounded yet refreshing.
B-Brite
Active oxygenated cleaner. Cleans without the use of chlorine or sulfites. For washing bottles and equipment: vessels, air-locks, tanks, hydrometers, utensils, bottles, hoses. Works equally as well on glass, plastics, stainless-steel, aluminum. Effective in removing beerstone and other dried bottle mineral deposits.
Batch Sparging
The full volume of sparge water is mixed into the mash. The grain bed is allowed to settle, and then the wort is drained off.
Grant
A smaller open-topped vessel placed between the lauter tun and boiling kettle, through which the wort is run during the sparge. It allows the brewer easy access to the wort which is being run off, such that it can be monitored both visually and with various brewing tools such as a thermometer, hydrometer, and pH meter. Most homebrewers do not employ a grant. The grant also allows for a buffer zone between a pump and the lauter tun. If the pump were pulling directly on the lauter-tun, it could compact the grain bed and lead to a stuck sparge. But if the beer is allowed to gravity-flow into the grant, and then the pump sucks on the grant, this problem is avoided.
