Clear wort

[Cellar_Rat]

Is it me? I have read a lot about no aeration and a great desire for clear wort - from the mash tun.

Surely this is all hokum?

Clarity at this stage?
When the stuff is still going to be boiled, chilled and then fermented - nice but not essential surely?

No aeration during sparging? Ditto! Don't we all blitz our fermentables with a power drill & a paddle to get some air in before pitching ??

PS Sorry Bob - more beer posts!

What is being said is the wort that has been filtered by the bed is considered clear wort. It is considered clear after recirculating a couple of gallons.
