Differences in commercial brew process vs. homebrew??

[tennesseean_87]

Is it much different than if I was to throw my spent mash in mesh cloth and then in my cider press? Doesn't the conventional wisdom say not to squeeze wort from the grains?

It's a myth. Squeeze away!

great insight everyone. This is something i was never even aware existed. Sounds like a I just need to get space for a 250 bbl system

Maybe not quite THAT big

Last year Meura introduced their 2001 Micro series Mash Press. It can work with systems between 10 bbl-20 bbl. That is the press that IDD is using in their HEBS.

Another brewery manufacturer, Craftwerk Brewing Systems out of MI, is supposed to be working with Meura to offer more choices.

I will be going to the Craft Brewers Conference in DC later this month. I'm hoping to find out pricing and more information on the Mash Press and other new toys.

Maybe at the very least I could press my spent grain for use in starters. A little boiling and I'm sure I'd be at 1.030, as I batch sparge.
