In wort production, a colloid mill can be applied after mashing to finely mill residual husk and grain particles, which increases surface area and improves starch and sugar extraction, raising overall yield compared to coarse milling alone. Because the gap is adjustable, brewers can balance finer extraction against the risk of extracting excess tannins or clogging the lauter bed, tuning the mill to their specific wort production process.
