Kettle Placement & Fitting Installation

Adjust the leveling feet as needed.  It is recommended that you allow enough clearance between kettles and also on the sides and rear to allow per-

sonnel access for cleaning and service of the ancillary equipment.  Although in practical use, the kettles can easily be slid out for any service needs.

Place heating elements (3) into the boil kettle and hot liquor tank. Secure with tri-clamps and gaskets. 

The system will come with (3) 7’ lengths of hose and (1) 12’ length of hose. 

The false bottom will come pre-installed. To remove the false bottom, unscrew the bolt half way and pull the false bottom out. The false bottom will fit 

through the manway although it can be easier to pull out the top.

Brewery Ventilation

Ventilation needs for an electric brewhouse are fairly minimal as only the boil kettle needs to be ventilated.  We recommend direct ventilation through 

the 6 inch top port or a traditional commercial kitchen vent hood can be installed approximately 6.5 ft from the finished floor.  General rules of thumb are 

in the table below.  It is recommended that you consult your local codes and consult with a professional prior to purchasing or installing your ventilation 

equipment. 

For recommendations on professional ventilations contact a Blichmann Engineering Pro Brewing representative.  

Total power for the Boil Kettle is 27 KW.
