After boiling it is necessary to remove the solids which have flocculated out. These solids, which consist of spent hot debris and other material, are called trub
Nowadays the separation is carried out in a vessel called a whirlpool. Once "cast" or drained from the copper, the boiled wort enters the cylindrical shaped whirlpool at an angle through the wall of the vessel. This causes the liquid to whirl around, setting the trub at the centre of the whirlpool. After resting for a few minutes, the clearer liquid is drawn from the edge of the vessel, leaving the trub, which is later washed from the base of the whirlpool.
