01. 

Rinse off the internal yeast ring —  ensure 
the internal surface is visibly clean. 

02. 

 Add hot water and detergent — shake with 
lid on — take some liquid out of the beer line. 

03. 

 Open the vessel butterfly valve and add 
remaining detergent to the sediment bottle. 

04. 

 Rinse the detergent from the BrewKeg50

TM

,  

its lid, sediment bottle and beer line.

MIX 

01. 

 Add the extracts to the vessel with hot 
water and stir to dissolve.  

02. 

 Add any extra ingredients (e.g. hop tea).  

03. 

 Top up with water. Target 25ºC (77ºF)  
when full. Stir.  

04. 

  Rehydrate yeast in 250ml of 25ºC (77ºF) 
water and add to vessel. 

05. 

 Attach sediment bottle and open vessel valve. 

06. 

 Top up again, attach lid, set VPRV to approx. 
2.5 turns and set temperature to ideally  
25

ºC (77ºF) or within the range of 18-28ºC 

(64-82ºF) in your fridge or room. 

ADJUST 

01. 

 Maintain temperature for 4 days. 

02. 

 Check and adjust the pressure as required 
after 24 hours. Target 1.5 bar (22 psi). 

03. 

 Drain sediment from sediment bottle 
if required to create room for additional 
clarification sediment.  

04. 

 Chill to 1-4ºC (34-39ºF) when fermentation  
is finished.
