==Alternative methods to yield starchy wort==
One of the main goals of turbid mashing is to yield a starchy wort in order to carry carbohydrates which are unfermentable to ''Saccharomyces'' but fermentable to ''Brettanomyces'' and lactic acid bacteria into the fermentation. There are other approaches that brewers have taken to come to this same end result of starchy wort without the labor- and equipment-intensive turbid mashing process. These alternatives will likely not yield the same exact results as turbid mashing, but depending on the brewer's goals they may be sufficient and/or preferred. Some of these methods, as outlined in the [[Spontaneous Fermentation|spontaneous fermentaiton fermentation]] page, include the addition of flour <ref name="Burgundian Babble Belt discussion">[http://www.babblebelt.com/newboard/thread.html?tid=1108752780&th=1243453104 Burgundian Babble Belt discussion]</ref> passing hot mash runnings through flaked grains <ref name="Flat Tail on the Brewing Network">[http://thebrewingnetwork.com/shows/1027/ Flat Tail on the Brewing Network, ~1:04 in]</ref>, or pulling mash runnings before full conversion without the prolonged processing of a turbid mash <ref name="Flat Tail on the Brewing Network" />.
