Sparging in brewing is the operation of

  • A.Rinsing the grain bed to recover the remaining sugars
  • B.Adding hops to the wort during the boil
  • C.Cooling the wort rapidly before the yeast is pitched
  • D.Storing the beer at low temperature to mature it

Answer: A

Correct answer: Rinsing the grain bed to recover the remaining sugars

After the first wort has drained away, a good deal of sugar remains held in the wet grain. Sparging rinses the bed with hot water to recover it, and it must be judged carefully - sparging too far, or with water too hot, extracts tannins from the husks and gives an astringent beer.
