Abstract

A refining vat for the separation of wort from spent grain comprises a sieve base and an impervious discharge base which lies below the sieve base and surrounds a central drain outlet. An intermediate base is substantially concentric with and is smaller in diameter than the sieve base, and is disposed between the sieve base and the discharge base and acts as an accumulator and guide element for the wort.
