to escape. The longer pump hose (if
purchased) can be repurposed but be sure
to sanitize it first (rinse it well and place it
for 5 minutes in a pot of boiling water). With
the distal end of the hose in water, it forms a
trap to prevent flies or bacteria from entering
the fermenter. Figure 22 shows the end of
the hose in a glass on the fermenter, but
where practical, it is recommended to use
a longer hose and place the bucket, jar or
glass on the floor so that if a small vacuum is
created during fermentation (as water cools
it contracts creating a vacuum), the water will
not be sucked back into the fermenter. When
crash cooling or otherwise cooling more than
a degree or two, be sure to remove the hose
from the water (or add 1–2psi of CO2 to the
top of the fermenter) or the water could be
sucked up into the fermenter.
12. Connect the temperature sensor to
the ETC by aligning the slot and pushing it
on (see Figure 25). Failure to align the cable and controller/sensor will likely result
in damage and failure to operate correctly. The cable can be removed by pulling
down on the collar as shown in the picture at right. The ETC can be placed on the
fermenter or hung from a wall or vessel. See more ETC installation instructions
under ‘Programming and Operating the BREWHA ETC’ in the ‘Installation’ section of
the manual, and there is a link to an error code guide on the ETC product page of
the website.
13. Hang the stainless water level ruler over the side of the fermenter when
mashing and boiling. Remove the ruler before sealing the fermenter lid during
fermentation.
