17 Cleaning instructions
Immediately after brewing, it is
best to place the Braumeister in
the cleaning position (see figure,
left) and to pump off all the fine
solids diluted with water. Observe
the correct valve positions.
Once the Braumeister seems to be clean, to disinfect it, it is filled with water several
centimetres above the heating coil and the water is heated to about 30ºC. The water is
circulated during this. Add some Halapur (alkaline cleaner - see Accessories below). Also
rinse the hoses and all the valves by connecting the hose to the outlet valve as for the
"whirlpool". While circulating the cleaning fluid, all the valves should be alternately
opened and closed several times so that all are rinsed. This also includes the valves on the
pump.
After doing this for roughly 15-20 min, empty the lye from the kettle and rinse the whole
device through yet again several times with clean water as above. Ensure that there are no
alkaline remains in the kettle.
Finally, open all the valves including those on the pump, so that all water can drain out and
the parts can dry (if necessary, open and close the valve a number of times)
From time to time, the hoses at the bottom should be removed and cleaned with a brush.
Now the residues from brewing can be removed with a brush and water (use a hose) from
the inside surfaces of the kettle and the heating coil. Keep pumping off the dirty water as
you work. Also pump clean water through the inlet to the kettle, to rinse out this
connection and the valve, too. Remember to clean the outlet and inlet.
The malt pipe and the sieve inserts can be removed and cleaned separately.
