WARNING!!
While BREWHA designs its systems with safety as a primary concern, always keep the
following in mind:
1. These vessels are not designed to withstand more than 3psi pressure in the 3-in-1
fermenter (14.9psi in the 4-in-1 fermenter) and 5psi in the 3-in-1 fermenter jacket (7psi
in the 4-in-1 jackets). Since tap water is often supplied at over 60psi, care needs to be
taken when using tap water to not allow the pressure to exceed the design allowance.
BREWHA will not be held responsible for deformation to the vessels due to pressure or
vacuum (do not let a vacuum occur).
2. The magnetic drive centrifugal pumps we supply are not designed to be ran empty
and should only be ran full of liquid; in addition, the exit should never be fully closed
while running or the pump may overheat and be damaged; damage due to improper
operation is not covered by warranty.
3. Immersion heating elements are not designed to be heated without water or they
will overheat and could be ruined; during mash, the pump outflow (returning wort
from the bottom of the fermenter to the top of the Mash Colander) will very likely need
to be throttled/slowed with a valve (either on the exit port of the pump or the return
port on the Mash Colander), so that the pump does not remove water from around the
elements faster than it is replenished from the Colander above (see recirculation rate
recomendations in the Brewing section of this manual).
4. Electrical devices (including the power controller, heating elements, sensors,
solenoid, pump, etc.) can be extremely dangerous, and electrical systems need to
be handled with extreme care. Always unplug the devices any time maintenance is
required or the system is not in use. Some devices such as the Power Controller may
have multiple power sources and all sources should be unplugged before servicing.
For added safety, a GFI/GFCI can be installed on the source power for the brewing
equipment and an electrician consulted for all electrical installations.
5. Contents of brewing vessels and hoses may be hot and/or under pressure so use
extreme caution.
6. To reduce any risk of damage or harm, the vessels should only be moved when
empty or secured against tipping; always move them with caution and only on smooth,
level, concrete floors.
7. Lifting the Mash Colander out can be dangerous, so ensure there is a properly
engineered lifting device installed. Never operate beneath the Colander when it is
suspended.
8. Check our suppliers’ manuals for further safety information.
