WHIRLPOOLING Meaning and
Definition
-
Whirlpooling, also known as vortexing, refers to the process in which a liquid is rapidly spun in a circular motion to create a swirling vortex. This phenomenon occurs when a fluid, such as water, is subjected to a vertical or horizontal force, causing it to rotate rapidly around a central axis. Whirlpooling can be observed not only in nature, such as in the formation of whirlpools in oceans and rivers, but also in various man-made devices.
In the context of cooking and brewing, whirlpooling specifically refers to a technique used during the production of beverages, particularly beer. After the boiling process, hot wort (the liquid that contains the sugars extracted from malted grains) is transferred to a separate vessel called the whirlpool or whirlpooling vessel. This vessel is equipped with an inlet and an outlet, strategically positioned to create a circular flow of liquid. As the wort is pumped into the vessel while simultaneously being drawn out, the swirling motion assists in separating undesirable solids, such as trub (coagulated proteins and hop particles), from the liquid. This action takes advantage of centrifugal force, causing the solids to accumulate in a cone-shaped sediment at the bottom of the vessel. The clarified wort can then be easily siphoned off for further processing, such as fermentation.
Whirlpooling not only helps in enhancing the clarity of the liquid but also facilitates the removal of excessive bitterness and astringency, resulting in a cleaner and more desirable final product.

Etymology of WHIRLPOOLING
The term "whirlpooling" is derived from the combination of two words: "whirlpool" and the suffix "-ing".
The word "whirlpool" originated from Middle English in the 15th century, combining the word "whirl" (indicating a spinning or circular motion) and "pool" (suggesting a small body of swirling water). The concept of a whirlpool has been around for centuries, as various languages have their own terms to describe this natural phenomenon.
The "-ing" suffix in English is commonly used to form the present participle of a verb, indicating an ongoing action or process. In the case of "whirlpooling", the suffix is added to "whirlpool" to create a verb form, denoting the act of creating or being in a whirlpool.
