Verify the voltage switch is set correctly and the unit is plugged into a GFCI protected outlet.
Prepare water and slowly lower the empty malt basket.
Heat the water to the recommended strike water temperature.
Set the controller to the desired mash temperature. Gently stir in the grain with a mash paddle, breaking up any dough balls.
If you’re using the optional recirculation kit, wait 10 mins before turning the pump on to let the grain settle, then gently rake (stir)
the top ½ of the malt basket every 15 minutes.
After mash process is complete, install the malt basket support ring and carefully lift the basket to the resting ring and set heat
to boil (SET = 212°F). Be careful not to dislodge the support ring while lifting the mash basket. Rotate the basket roughly
45° to rest on the basket support, letting it drain. During draining, don’t bump the mash basket.
Gently add “Sparge Water” (hot liquor) to the malt basket (if using sparging method).
Remove the basket from the Foundry™ when drips from the basket significantly decrease and the grain looks like all the wort
has drained.
Boil for 60 minutes, or as directed in the recipe. Add hops and/or other ingredients as required. Sanitize the cooling coil by
submerging it into the boiling wort for the last 10-15 minutes of the boil.
Turn the Foundry™ off and run cold tap water through the coil until wort has reached the pitching temperature. Stirring with a
sanitized spoon will speed the cooling process significantly.
Remove the cooling coil, stir the wort to cause a whirlpool with a sanitized spoon, and leave the lid on. Wait 15 minutes for the
hops and trub to settle to the bottom.
Sanitize the pump and hoses (if equipped) and transfer into a sanitized fermentor using the rotating racking arm to leave behind
hops and trub.
Oxygenate the wort and pitch the yeast.

Clean the Foundry™ with mild unscented detergents, Powdered Brewery Wash (PBW), or percarbonate-based cleaners. For stubborn
areas, we highly recommend Bar Keepers Friend to keep your product clean. Bleach should
NOT
be used to clean or sanitize stainless
steel. For keeping your equipment clean and looking new, we strongly recommend cleaning immediately after brewing as soils and
residue will be much easier to remove before it dries. Never toss components in a bucket of cleaning agents “to clean tomorrow” as
these chemicals may damage the product if you exceed the recommended contact time.
Important: Keep the inside bottom of the Foundry™ thoroughly clean and bright with Bar Keepers Friend.

Tip: If anything touches the wort after the boil you must use sanitizer.
