Brew Day –
Boiling
PRO TIP:
There should be about 3-4 gallons of
water in your HLT. Turn your HLT element back
on when your boil is complete and heat water to
170°F degrees. This water will be used to CIP the
system after your brewing is done.
Follow these steps to keep things rolling
during the boiling phase.
1.
Make sure you have moved your Boil Kettle PID to
Manual Mode. Please reference the manual on page
18 to move to Manual Mode.
2.
Once you’ve reached your pre-boil volume, turn off
the pumps and close the valves.
3.
As you reach your boiling temp, you can adjust the
power up or down to keep the perfect rolling boil
and avoid boil overs. If you see a boil over happening,
quickly turn off the element, stir down, or squirt the
hot break material. When you turn the element back
on, adjust the power to the appropriate level.
4.
Add bittering hops and start your boil timer
(if applicable)
5.
Once the boil is completed, turn off your BK
element.
