Brew Day –
Using the Steam
Condenser Lid
Built to transform steam into liquid during the
boiling process, our steam condenser lid not
only reduces your boil-off rate, it allows you to
brew inside without worrying about moisture
collecting on your walls or ceiling.
1.
Assemble your Steam Condenser Lid as outlined on
page 11.
2.
Grab a 5 gallon or larger container to use as your
pump reservoir.
3.
Place the submersible pump into the reservoir and
stick it to the bottom using the suction feet.
4.
When getting ready to boil, fill the container with
cold water.
5.
Leave the steam condenser lid off when
approaching boil to avoid any boil over. Once the
hot break has subsided, you can place the steam
condenser lid on.
6.
Run the condenser lid output hose into a floor drain
or collection container.
7.
Make sure that the exit hose isn’t submerged
underwater and can drip freely. If submerged, back
pressure will force the steam out where the lid and
kettle meet.
8.
Turn on the submersible pump.
(Water will begin to flow from the reservoir container, go
up through the misting nozzle, and through the top of the
condenser piping. This process creates a vacuum by cooling the
steam into a liquid. The liquid will then flow out of the bottom of
the piping into your collection container.)
9.
Boil for the duration of time required by
your recipe.
10.
Keep an eye on the steam condenser water
reservoir so it doesn’t run dry. As it empties,
refill it with cold water.
