In the Lauter Tun, hot water is added to the grist to extract
sugar and starch from the grist. When the process is complete
(4-6 hours), the Lauter Tun is turned off. It then acts like
a sieve allowing the surgery water to drain off. A warm,
sweet liquid called "wort" is then transferred over to the
Fermenters to begin the process of making alcohol.
