1. Turn on the propane supply.
2. Turn the multifunction valve to “Pilot”, located to the left of the burner behind the shield, and is labeled:
On, Off, and Pilot.
3. Press in and hold the multifunction valve knob and light the pilot light at the burner.
4. Continue pressing in the valve knob for 45 seconds.
5. On releasing the valve knob, the pilot should stay lit. If not, check the thermocouple to ensure that it is
in the flame of the pilot. Do not use the system if you suspect a malfunction.
6. Once the pilot stays lit, turn the multifunction valve to On.
BE CAREFUL
- as this will ignite the burner.
Make sure your face, hands, clothing, and anything flammable are away from the burner
BEFORE
turning
the valve to the "On" position.
While your mash tun water is heating up, let’s measure out our sparge water in our hot liquor tank. We
recommend using slightly more than the desired end volume in your hot liquor tank. For example – if you’re
hoping to end with 11 gallons in your boil kettle prior to transferring to your fermenters, measure out 13 to
14 gallons into your hot liquor tank. This volume mixed with the volume you’ll be putting into your mash tun
will combine to be very close to the appropriate pre-boil volume in your boil kettle.
NOTE:
These measurements
are general, and each batch or brewer will vary. We highly recommend taking good notes and using these in future batches to
perfect your brewing style and recipes.
We’ll be aiming for around 10°F above the targeted mash temperature for our
sparge water. With the hot liquor tank float switch and temperature probe installed in the kettle and plugged
into the control panel, we’re ready to set our controller. Pushing the “SET” button will begin this process, and
you’ll have the option to choose Fahrenheit or Celsius. Press the “SET” button again to view the current set
point. This can be raised or lowered with the arrow buttons, and should be set to where you want your hot
liquor tank’s temperature at. Pressing the “SET” button again will allow you to change the differential. The
differential will allow a “swing” of temperature. We recommend keeping this at “1” – which will turn the burner
on as soon as the temperature falls 1 degree below the set point. Setting the differential at 5 will allow the hot
liquor tank to fall 5 degrees below your set point before turning the burner on. After setting your differential,
press the “SET” button again to choose cooling (C1) or heating (H1). Make sure this is set to heating (H1). At
this point, press the “SET” button again to view the current temperature – nothing should be blinking at this
point. We can also set the mash tun’s controller at this point, but will not want to have the pump plugged in,
Lighting the Pilot:
range would be between 6–12 degrees above what you’re hoping to mash at. Example: If you’d like to mash at
150°F, dough-in at 156°F–162°F.
