5.3 - THE BREW CONTROLLER DISPLAY EXPLAINED
1. Current temperature reading, determined by a sensor
in the bottom of the brew kettle. Will display ambient
temperature whenever the power cord is connected.
2. Brew program ON and OFF button.
3. Heating power indicator. The display will show the
percentage, %, of the current power supplied to the heating
element.
4. SET mode. Press to enter the programming mode to
change settings. Press again to cycle to the next parameter.
5. Time indicator. The remaining time for the current brew
phase
6. Heating status. Animated symbol indicate that the heating
element is on or off.
7. Target temperature indicator. This will display the target
temperature for the current brew phase.
8. Settings, to reduce a value. Press once, repeatedly or hold
to change the chosen value.
9. Settings, to increase a value. Press once, repeatedly or hold
to change the chosen value.
10. Current brew phase indicator. The different phases are:
I
= mashing
II
= lautering
III
= boiling
During brewing, the brew controller will give an audible signal
when a target temperature has been reached, and when it has
finished the countdown of a phase.
How to change the settings:
Almost all of the nine parameters can be changed at any time
during the brewing process. This means that you can change and
set new values for all the parameters in advance after you have
pressed the brew controller “ON” button.
The exception is the target strike/mash temperature for phase I.
The setting for the target strike temperature (the temperature
of the water, before adding the malt) can only be changed
during the heating phase and before the target temperature
has been reached. The target mash temperature can only be
changed after the target strike temperature has been reached,
and the mashing countdown has started.
To change setting, just press the
SET
button one or more times,
in order to switch from one parameter to the next (in the order
described below). The brew phase indicator will display the
phase (
I
,
II
or
III
) together with one of its three corresponding
parameters
The currently selected parameter will be flashing. Each
parameter value can be changed by pressing (or holding) the
+ or – button. After you have reached the desired value, press
SET again to jump to the next parameter. After two seconds of
no button activity, the brew controller will exit the programming
mode.
Note: Going into programming mode will NOT stop or pause
the ongoing brewing process.
Switching off the brew controller or unplugging the power cord
will cause the brew controller to revert to default values. It is
always required to press the brew controller “ON” button to
initiate the brew program after connecting the power cord, or
after regaining power in case of power loss.
If resuming the brewing process after a power failure it is
possible to switch on the brew controller and change the strike
temperature to the current temperature shown in the display, in
order to avoid overheating the wort or mash. Then change one
or more time parameter to 0 (zero) to skip ahead to where you
want to continue from.
