BREWING INSTRUCTIONS

It may be necessary to drain the contents of the 
sediment bottle to make room for additional 
sediment. This may occur due to extra ingredients 
being added and therefore the sediment bottle 
filling past half full during the fermentation. The 
best time to drain the sediment bottle is before 
the first clarification.

You will need:

 

Silicon hose (supplied)

 

A jug or container to accommodate 
drained sediment

 

A floor drain if using the vertical drain 
component instead of the horizontal version 
which suits the silicone tube

i. 

Ensure the BrewKeg50

TM

 sediment bottle is 

accessible, assess whether you should move it to 
better location for draining. 

ii. 

Slide the silicon hose onto the horizontal outlet 
at the base of the sediment bottle. 

iii. 

Place the end of the hose into the jug or container. 

iv. 

Holding the external part of the drain valve (black 
part), turn it clockwise to open and then back and 
forth by

 turns continuously. You will see 

the sediment begin to exit the sediment bottle via 
the silicon tube as the interior stirrer disturbs the 
bed of sediment and ensures and even removal 
of the layers of sediment. 

v. 

Continue to drain to allow enough space to 
remain for clarification sediment to follow. 
Depending on beer style and other additions 
you may have made, you may wish to leave 
no more than a quarter of the sediment bottle 
with layered sediment. 

vi. 

Once complete, wind the dial at the base of the 
sediment bottle anti-clockwise to a close position 
(finger tight). 

vii. 

Remove silicon hose. 

viii. 

 Dump  sediment. 

ix. 

 Wash hose and jug.
