After cooling the wort is aerated to increase yeast activity and to start the fermentation process. The amount of oxygen required depends on yeast strain, wort temperature, wort gravity, amount of trub in the wort, and a number of other factors.Oxygen RequirementsThe oxygen requirements for individu

Following the boil, the next step is to separate the hop debris and the trubaceous matter (hot break) so that the wort is bright and clear before cooling. If whole hops are used, the amount of spent hops will be between 0.7 and 1.4 kg /hl wet weight and the trub will weigh in the region of 0.21-0.28
