Boil- We collect about 700 gallons of wort in the kettle after the lautering process. By using steam jackets that surround the kettle, we bring the wort to a boil for an hour and a half. Boiling the wort serves many purposes. Namely, it stabilizes the composition of the final wort, clarifies the wort, sterilizes the wort by killing bacteria, and contributes color to the final beer. Additionally, throughout the boil we add four different types of domestic hops to the boil.
