Step 1:
Confirm that all parts, required hardware, and tools are ready and available for assembly. Refer to the table above
which includes a list of all parts and hardware that came with your ANVIL Crucible.
Step 2:
Remove the lid and set the fermentor upside down. Locate the end of the leg with the hole on the side. Insert the
leg while lining up the side hole with the rivet hole in the black plastic base. Press the rivet into the hole first and then
insert the rivet pin to secure the rivet. Ensure the rivet is flush with the outside surface. Repeat steps for all three legs.
Step 3:
Clean all parts and the fermentor tank prior to use with mild detergent, Powdered
Brewery Wash or similar chlorine free product.
Step 4:
Soak all parts in a non-chlorine sanitizer, and spray the inside of the tank and lid with
sanitizer.
Step 5:
Remove the locknut from the valve and insert the male threads of the valve into
the large hole in the cone of the Crucible from the outside as shown in the drawing
below. Make sure the o-ring is seated in the groove on the valve on the outside of the
fermentor as shown. Install the Teflon washer over the male threads on the inside of the
Crucible. Install and secure the NPT lock nut by hand. Hold the valve with one hand
on the outside and locknut with the other hand on the inside of the Crucible. Tighten it
firmly but not too tight that the valve doesn’t rotate by hand.
Step 6:
Install the dip tube assembly on the end of the valve. Tighten until the seal
inside makes contact, then an additional ¼ turn.
Tip:
Orient the dip tube in the same
direction as your valve handle. That way you’ll know the position of the dip tube when
the fermentor is full.
Step 7:
Assemble the bottom dump as shown in Figure 3.
Step 8:
Spray the inside walls of the fermentor with StarSan sanitizer, or fill it with
your preferred non-chlorine sanitizer, including the lid. Then drain the fermentor
completely and install the airlock and stopper and fill it with distilled water or vodka.
The fermentor is now sanitized and ready to be filled!
WARNING!
Always ensure there is an airlock or blow off tube in place. Plugging the hole on the lid
completely can cause the fermentation chamber to reach dangerous pressure levels and
potentially cause serious injury or death!
