When pressing the
Abort
button, you are taken back the Start
menu; regardless of the operating mode you are currently in
(Automatic/Brew start/Recipes, and Manual mode). While in
Automatic mode, the red-coloured light elements are lit. A
prompt will be displayed asking whether the procedure shall be
finally aborted or whether this process shall continue.

Circulation pump information
While in the manual mode, the circulation
pump can be switched on and off. It is
important to vent the pump while in manual
operating mode after filling it with liquid, so
as to ensure that it does not run dry and
possible incur damage. This can be achieved
by filling the pump with water and switching
it on and off several times (until no more air
bubbles escape). The automatic mode occurs
automatically. During the brewing process
and while in manual mode, the pump
switches off automatically as soon as the temperature exceeds 88°C. This protects the
system. If the temperature drops to 84°C the operation continues. The speed and the
flow of the pump can be regulated by using the rotary knob on the control panel.
When using the 200l or 500 L/ 1000 L BM, the recirculation pressure is optimised at
approx. 0.2 bar or 0.15 bar (displayed on the pump’s pressure gauge during the mash
process). In order to prevent excessive pressure in the malt pipe, a pressure of 0.2 bar
or 0.15 bar must not be exceeded. The pump output is limited to approx. 0.25 bar for
the 200 L equipment and 0.2 bar for the 500 L/ 1000 L Braumeister.

Notes on the container lid
The lid assists in reaching the temperatures more quickly in the heating up phase.
Higher water temperatures cause condensation to occur on the underside of the lid.
When lifting the lid, ensure that you hold the lid rim over the vessel opening (at an
angle) so that the condensation can run back into the vessel.

Information pertaining to the piping layout and the position of the valves
By default, the Braumeister uses 3 feed-through and drain valves on the bottom as
well as one valve on the vessel itself. Valves at the bottom must be positioned
differently depending on the application and the section of the brewing process. The
valve on top of the vessel is used to remove the wort; at the same time it serves as inlet
for the whirlpool application. The following description of the brewing process
describes the relevant valve positions again and in more detail.
11.6
Lifting equipment information
The entire equipment comprises the lifting device, the cable winch, the cable, and
cross bar incl. hooks. Prior to each brewing process, these components must be
visually inspected for damage and their flawless condition must be insured. Additional
information and safety instructions can be found in the attached winch instructions. If
