Place heating elements (3) into the boil kettle. Ensure the nuts on the element junction
boxes are tight to prevent water entry into the heater as shown. Water entry into the ele-
ment will cause failure.
Install the false bottom through the manway in the mash tun (MT)
one segment at a time starting with the center section. Install the
U-shaped securing clips between the sections to secure them as
shown.
For the Boil Kettle only install the stand pipe in the drain fitting inside
the kettle as shown. To install and remove the standpipe, simply use
a racking cane to lower it into the drain hole and reverse for removal.
This will keep the bulk of the settled hops and break material in the
bottom of kettle and out of the chiller. Use of the stand pipe, while
recommended, is optional.
Ventilation needs for an electric brewhouse are fairly minimal as only the boil kettle needs to be ventilated. We recommend a traditional
commercial kitchen vent hood be installed approximately 6.5 ft from the finished floor. General rules of thumb are in the table below.
It is recommended that you consult your local codes and consult with a professional prior to purchasing or installing your ventilation
equipment.
Total power for the Boil Kettle is 18 KW.
