One of the more intimidating things for me when I started to research methods of home brewing was the terminology the brewers uses. This will be a working list of terms that I have come across. If I use these terms in my blog I will link it to this page so you have a handy guide.
Lees - are deposits of dead yeast or residual yeast and other particles that precipitate, or are carried by the action of "fining", to the bottom of a vat after fermentation and aging
Pitching - Term used for adding yeast to the fermenter
Racking - A term used that refers to the transfer of cider from one vessel to another. Most often used to describe the kegging, casking, or bottling of cider.
** This will be a work in progress until I have a comprehensive list. **
