The Grist Sieve
|
A grist sieve is a standard steel or brass instrument used for sifting malt grist during brewing. The grist sieve commonly comes in a circular shape of various diameters with a solid outer ring and fine mesh sieve interior. After the malt milling process is complete, the malt grist is analyzed by manually sifting it through a series of grist sieves that all retain different sized pieces of grist. The sieves are typically stacked from coarsest to finest. For example, one sieve may retain husk letting other portions pass through, while another retains coarse grits, letting flour and fine grits through. The percentage of weight in each sieve over the total weight of the malt gives a quantitative measure to compare other malt samples for quality control purposes.
