Lautering is described as "a process in brewing beer in which the mash is separated into the clear liquid wort and the residual grain". That's what we do at Lautering: we separate high quality beers from the average by writing high quality reviews of beers from microbreweries and small craft breweries from continental Europe - and of course from the rest of the world.
Algorithm to determine the quality
Currently we have the following algorithm in place to determine a beers overall quality
((a + b + c)/3)n + dn) / 2 = rating.
Where a = Appearance, b = Taste, c = Flavour, d = Average of all reviews
With that Algorithm we make sure that reviews, which take a lot of effort to write and compose, are taken equally into account with ratings, which can be written much faster.
