CLARIFICATION
CIDER CLARIFICATION
Cider does not need to be clarified. It clears
naturally within 24-36 hours, the closer to
1ºC (34ºF), the more efficient the clarification.
Once the cider is clear, you can progress to the
DISPENSE
stage.
BEER CLARIFICATION
You may need to drain your sediment bottle prior
to commencing the
CLARIFICATION
steps. Please
follow the instructions on the next page.
Prepare your gas bottle, regulator and gas line.
Set your gas bottle outward pressure to 1.1 bar
(16 psi). Refer to WilliamsWarn Video Resources
to set up and use your gas bottle.
10.
Wind the VPRV valve to a fully closed position
and close the bottom valve.
11.
Unscrew the lid of the Dosing Device and
measure 60ml (1 fl. oz.) of Clarification Agent
into the device. Screw the lid back on.
12.
Connect the Gas-Disconnect (Grey) fitting from
the gas bottle to the lid of the Dosing Device.
13.
Press the VPRV valve on the BrewKeg50
TM
lid
until the Pressure Gauge reads 0.6 bar (9 psi).
14.
Connect the Liquid-Disconnect (Black) fitting
from the Dosing Device to the liquid out post
on the BrewKeg50
TM
(marked ‘L’ on the lid).
The difference in pressure ensures the
Clarification Agent immediately bubbles through
the liquid. You should hear the bubbling.
Keep the Liquid-Disconnect (Black) attached
until the pressure in the BrewKeg50
TM
is the
same as the gas bottle (1.1 bar / 16psi), then
disconnect from the BrewKeg50
TM
.
15.
To flush the Clarification Agent residue form the
Dosing Device, add 60ml (fl.oz) of cold water to
the Dosing Device and repeat steps 04 – 06.
16.
Disconnect the Dosing Device from the Gas Line
and Liquid Post and remove the Pressure Gauge.
17.
Connect the Gas-Disconnect (Grey) of the gas
bottle to the gas post on the BrewKeg50
TM
set at
1.1 bar (16psi).
18.
Open the bottom valve. The beer will now clarify
and dump a new layer of yeast and haze into the
sediment bottle.
19.
You will see a separation of clearer beer and
sediment appearing in your sediment bottle.
20.
After 12 hours, repeat steps 3-12 with 40ml
(0.7 fl. oz.) of Clarification Agent.
21.
A third yeast and haze layer will fall into the
sediment bottle over the next 24 hours. It may be
necessary to drain additional sediment to ensure
all sediment is within the sediment bottle.
22.
When you see a clear line of crystal clear beer
above the compacted sediment in your sediment
bottle, you are now ready to enjoy your beer!
DRAINING THE SEDIMENT BOTTLE
