A brewing example and brief instructions
We want to demonstrate brewing with the Master Brewer by using a definitive example
that will guide you through the first brewing process step by step, as follows.
Beer type:
Light wheat beer: top-fermented.
Quantity of beer: 20 litres of manufactured beer.
Basic wort:
11 to 12 ° Plato.
Ingredients
4,5 kg coarsely crushed brewing malt (50% wheat malt, 50% barley malt and some
caramalt if necessary).
30 litres of moderately-hard brewing water or tap water (23 litres to begin, with and
the rest for topping up).
40g of hops with 3% of alpha acid (approx. 25g immediately after boiling begins and
approx. 15 g several minutes before boiling ends).
dry yeast for over-fermenting.
Clean the Master Brewer and place it on a sturdy base in the
kitchen or on the terrace. Also clean the other requisite
utensils like the malt scoop, wooden spoon, wort spindle,
cooling spiral, fermenting cask with accessories, etc. and
keep them within easy reach.
Pour in 23 litres of brewing water – up to about 2 cm below the
upper mark on the connecting rod or on the level gauge.
Follow the instructions of the brewing controls, and confirm
that the Master Brewer has been filled with water by pressing
ENTER. The pump ventilates itself automatically and the
Master Brewer comes up to the programmed mashing
temperature.
Programme the recipe – Press ENTER for 1 sec. In the
programming mode, you can set times and temperatures
for the relevant recipe. Any standard recipe already used is
already saved. After confirming all values with ENTER
