Brew-Boss® V2.06 Operation Manual
Flow Restriction Valve and Nipples Installed on Pump (DELUXE fittings shown on Stainless Pump)
The
Brew-Boss®
system is supplied with either barbed (VALUE) or Camlock (DELUXE) type quick
connect/disconnect fittings. If you purchased the VALUE system, the silicone brewery hose simply
slips over the barbed nipples on the fittings. No hose clamps are required on the input side of the pump
as there is no pressure inside those hoses. Use the supplied hose clamps for the hoses on the discharge
side of the pump.
The
Brew-Boss®
system includes 6 feet of silicon brewery grade tubing. You need to cut this tubing
into two pieces based on your desired setup. We recommend 2 feet between kettle and pump and 4 feet
between pump and kettle, but let you cut it as you desire. If you are using Camlock fittings, you will
need to attach the female camlocks to each of the 4 ends of the tubing you cut. If the Camlocks
provided have differing size nipples, use the nipples with the larger diameter on the pump inlet side.
DELUXE Recirculation Plumbing Hardware Configuration
Note: According to Chugger Pump, the pump should never be run full flow on the discharge.
There should always be some back pressure on the discharge of the pump otherwise the pump
could de-couple and stop pumping. For this reason, always close the flow restriction valve on
the discharge side of the pump slightly to create some back pressure. Of course during
mashing, you adjust the flow restriction valve on the discharge side of the pump to maintain the
proper liquid level in the kettle. With BIAB systems using false bottoms, make certain to stir
your grains often to prevent he pump from creating a vacuum beneath the false bottom,
potentially damaging your kettle or false bottom!
