Simple question. German term.

jason81 · Aug 27, 2014

Hi. Its been a while since I've been her. I haven't been brewing bunch but just brewed an APA today and doing a heffe tomorrow. Anyway, I can't remember what the German word is for when you are draining wort from your mashtun and you keep putting it back into the mash until it runs clear. Its driving me nuts that I can't remember. I've looked in books and Google but can't find it.

Yes. Thanks. Vourlauf is the word. It does sound cool and I like to say it when I'm brewing. Lol.

I read somewhere that German brewers do not use this term.

Correction, it's actually pronounced for-lowf as if the "ou" were in the word hour, like "owf".

When was the last time you were her? I only ask because if you ask her, she'll act like she knows everything.

Sweet, another local!! You should PM me on here so we could get together some time :mug:

Joke aside about the pronunciation, meine Mutter kommt aus Deutschland und ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsche.

This could easily be misunderstood as "Bayern"
