Starting B Calibration
Place the sample suction hose in a sample vessel filled with reference
beer. There must be at least 80 ml of reference beer available.
a) Navigate with the help of the arrow buttons to the menu item ”Start
B”.
b) Press the “Enter” button -- automatic B calibration begins.
After approximately 5 minutes B calibration is finished. Now it is
possible to measure unknown beers of the same type with the
previously selected profile, e.g. no. 3.
Note:
Do not perform any calibrations immediately after cleaning the device with
cleaning liquid or other cleaning agents. Such agents falsify the measurement
results to a significant extent. As they strongly moisten the surfaces of the
measurement chambers, they have to be rinsed very thoroughly after use.
Never operate the FermentoFlash without rinsing or cleaning after finishing
the measurements. The device contains two sensitive measurement
chambers which are kept at a certain temperature. If beer precipitates in
such a measurement chamber and is deposited on the walls, the
measurement chamber will be destroyed.

How the FermentoFlash works
1. Structure of the device
As can be seen from the picture and the operating principle diagram, the device is
equipped with 2 measurement cells.
2. Description
These modules there are thermo analytical measurement cells which operates at
two different measurement temperatures. Measurement cells are hermetically
sealed for thermal reasons (insulation).
3. Sample suction tube
The suction tube should be inserted at least 30 mm deep into the beer sample.
