Brewing Basics

Hot Break

Clumps of coagulated proteins and tannins that form during the vigorous boil. Hot break appears as flaky, egg-drop-soup-like particles floating in the wort. Removing hot break through whirlpooling or settling improves beer clarity and reduces the risk of chill haze in the finished product.
