Cleaning instructions
Immediately after the brewing process, it is strongly
recommended to place the Braumeister into its cleaning
position (see illustration on the left-hand side). Use
water to dilute the trub substances and pump out the
residue. Observe the correct position of the valve.
Use a brush and the water hose to remove any
remainder of the brew from the vessel’s interior and the
heating coils. While cleaning, ensure to pump off all
dirty water. Use fresh water to pump through the inlet
of the vessel. This will rinse this line and the valve as
well. Remember, the outlet and the inlet openings must
be included in the cleaning process.
The malt pipe and the filter plate can be removed when
cleaning.
If a visual inspection ascertains that the Braumeister is clean, the equipment must be
disinfected. To do this, add water until the heating coils are submerged several centimetres
below the water level. Now, heat the water to 30°C. During this process, the water is
recirculated. Add a small amount of Halapur (alkaline disinfectant - see ‘Accessories’
below) Ensure to clean all hoses and valves and connect the hose to the vessel’s valve to the
“whirl pool”. During the recirculation process, ensure to open and close all valves several
times. This will assure that all valves are being cleaned. This includes also all valves on the
pump.
Continue this process for approx. 15 - 20 minutes. Next, drain the alkaline disinfectant from
the vessel and use fresh water to rinse the container several times, following the process
mentioned above. Ensure to remove all disinfectant residue from the vessel.
Finally, open all valves, including the pump valves, in order to ensure the water can drain
completely and the components can dry (if necessary, the valve must be opened and closed
several times).
Once in a while, the hoses in the lower area must be removed and cleaned, using a separate
brush.
