Here's how it works:
Malt Preparation: Malted grains, typically barley, are crushed or milled to expose the starchy interior of the kernels. This milled malt is referred to as grist.
Water Addition: The malt hydrator is responsible for adding a controlled amount of water to the grist. The water temperature is carefully regulated to activate enzymes naturally present in the malt, which facilitate the conversion of starches into fermentable sugars.
Hydration Process: The water and grist mix together in the malt hydrator, allowing the grains to absorb the moisture. This hydration process softens the kernels and promotes enzymatic activity, which breaks down the complex carbohydrates into simple sugars.
Mash Tun Transfer: Once the malt has been properly hydrated, it is transferred to the mash tun, where it undergoes further processing, such as heating and stirring, to extract the sugars and enzymes necessary for fermentation.
In summary, the malt hydrator ensures that the malted grains are adequately hydrated, creating an optimal environment for enzymatic activity during mashing. This process is crucial for the production of fermentable sugars, which are later consumed by yeast during fermentation, resulting in the alcohol and carbonation found in beer.
