Pegasus - the new lautertun technology
The standards which modern lautering systems have to meet are continuously rising. Some time ago, the main focus was on quantity and quality of worts produced. The emphasis is now also increasingly on an improvement in efficiency and, above all, flexibility.
Currently, the most usual situation is to have lauter tuns running 10 brews/d. 12 brews/d are also state-of-the-art, but with somewhat more elaborate equipment. However, this is oftentimes pushing the limits in terms of peripheral equipment. High yields and a low-maintenance, upset-free operation are the basic prerequisites for meeting the exacting requirements.
The new lauter tun has been named Pegasus, taken from Greek mythology. Pegasus is a winged horse which emerges from the Medusa beheaded by Perseus.
