What is a grist hydrator?

A grist hydrator which is an important part in a brewery, typically an accessory for brew kettle/mash tuns or mash tun, sits atop the mash tank and is used to rapidly hydrate the milled malt and adjuncts, as they are fed into the tun and mixed with hot, or sometimes cold, water.

Grist hydrators are used to minimize doughballs in beer equipment,such as mash tun.
This is important because doughballs keep the hot liquor from mingling with a portion of your crushed grain.

If the liquor is not able to access all of the grain, it will not be able to effectively activate your enzymes for conversion. A conical hopper can be attached to the top of the hydrator to help the feeding process.
