Once the mashing temperature is reached, a warning tone
sounds which you acknowledge with ENTER. Now insert the
malt pipe (with seal fitted, facing downwards). Take care that
the seal with the malt pipe is centred and is sitting absolutely
level on the kettle bottom. Insert the first sieve insert as far as
the bottom edge.
Pour the malt into the malt pipe and stir in well. Then put in
the filter cloth and on top the upper sieve insert, fix securely
with wing nut and then press the malt pipe slightly
downwards with the hold-down crossbar and the second wing
nut. The important thing is that no malt falls outside which
could block the pump.
Now continue automated operation with START. Light-
coloured brewing water rises up the pipe and runs over. The
cycle has started. The next brewing phases are run through
fully automatically in line with the program. During some of
the brewing phases a short pump pause is ordered by the
control system in order to reposition the malt. The screen
displays the actual and pre-set temperatures as well as the
remaining time, which after reaching the pre-set time starts to
count down backwards (flashing). Set the pump speed so that
the circulating pressure is just under 0.15 bar (dial position
roughly 9-11).
On completion of the programmed brewing phases, a
warning tone sounds again. Acknowledge this with ENTER.
Remove wing nuts and hold-down crossbar. Since all parts
are now very hot, it is absolutely essential to use oven gloves.
Hoist the malt pipe with the lifting device and the winch out
of the kettle and leave the malt to drip in the topmost
position. Thrust the ladle several times to the bottom of the
malt so that the wort can run off more easily. Sparge if
necessary. After 15-20mins., remove malt pipe completely
including malt.
Continue with START, to start boiling the hops. Do not put the
lid on. Avoid boilover. Add the first hops (350g) 10 min after start
of boiling. Do not put the lid on even when boiling the hops.
Vapours must be able to escape. Top up the evaporated water or
adjust the original gravity. The last hop addition (150g) takes
place 10 min before flame out.
