Pour 4,5 kg of malt into the malt pipe. It is important while doing
so, that no malt is spilt next to it because that could block the
pump. Stir in the malt with a wooden spoon and allow it to rise for
several minutes. Push the second filter cloth onto the malt after
that and then push on the second sheet metal sieve (pipe facing
upwards again). Put on the holding-down stirrup and tighten it
with the wing nut.
Continue the automatic process by pressing START. Lightly
coloured brewing water rises up and runs over. The
circulation has begun. The next brewing phases are carried out
fully automatically in accordance with the programme. During
some brewing phases, the controls initiate a brief pump pause
in order to reposition the malt. To display shows the actual
and set temperatures, together with the remaining time, which
starts to countdown after reaching the set time (flashing).
On reaching the mashing temperature, a signal tone sounds,
which must be acknowledged by pressing the ENTER button.
The malt pipe can now be inserted with the seal facing
downwards. Make sure that the pipe is clean, centred and lying
flat on the bottom of the boiler. Now insert the first sieve base
into the malt pipe and put the first filter cloth on top of it. The
cloth must lie on the sheet metal sieve and it is not allowed to
float upwards.
On completion of the brewing phases, a signal tone sounds again.
Acknowledge this by pressing ENTER. Remove the wing nut and
holding-down stirrup. It is definitely recommended to use kitchen
gloves because all parts are very hot. Put the supporting stirrup onto
the boiler. Use both hands to pull out the malt pipe with the lifting
stirrup and hang it on the lower bolts in the supporting stirrup.
Allow the malt to drain off. Pierce the malt several times
downwards with the wooden spoon, so that the beer wort can run
off better. Completely remove the malt pipe with the malt after 15
to 20 minutes.
Continue by pressing START in order to start boiling the hops.
Avoid over-boiling. Add the first 25g of hops 10 minutes after
boiling begins. Do not put on the lid when the hops are boiling
either. Steam must be able to escape. Replenish to compensate for
the evaporated amount of water or adjust the basic wort. Add the
last 15 g of hops 10 minutes before boiling ends.
