Abstract

A device for the feeding of mash into a lauter tun is provided with a mash pump, a main pipe (12) which is connected to the mash pump and at least two partial stream pipes (6) which connect the main pipe (12) to a feed opening (19) in the lauter tun (2) in each case. When the mash pump is in operation, mash is fed from a mash container into the lauter tun (2) via the main pipe (12) and the partial stream pipes (6). To enable the mash to flow into the lauter tun (2) in as uniform a manner as possible a buffer vessel (22) is arranged between the main pipe (12) and the partial stream pipes (6).
