Underback
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006322
A vessel in a brewery that collects wort from the mash or lauter tun before it is transferred to the brew kettle. It acts as a temporary reservoir, allowing the wort to be run off at a consistent rate, independent of the kettle's readiness for boiling. The volume of the underback is sized to match the runoff rate from the lauter tun and the capacity of the wort pump.
