K-410.03.999 [2020-10] Total Yield – Overall Brewhouse Yield

Application/Purpose

Determination of the overall brewhouse yield during wort production in order to monitor brewhouse operations

Scope of Application

Wort from the midpoint of chilling/pitching wort

Principle

Since determination of the hot wort yield can be problematic and the cold wort yield as described above does not represent a measure of the total extract obtained from the grain bill, an attempt has been made to record all of the extract recovered, with the exception of that remaining in the spent grain. This value is then compared to the laboratory yield. The result is expressed as the total yield (overall brewhouse yield) (OBYCW) in %.
