Brew Day –
Heating HLT
1.
Fill HLT with 45 gallons of water.
2.
Connect a short hose (
Gold
) from bottom of HLT to
water pump inlet. (see
Figure 1
)
3.
Connect a long hose (
Red
) from pump outlet to top
of HLT. (see
Figure 1
)
4.
Purge the pump and input hose (
Red
) of air. To
purge the pump, with the HLT drain valve open,
open the air bleed valve on the pump until a solid
liquid stream flows. Close the valve - your pump is
now purged of air.

5.
Turn on the water pump to recirculate the HLT to
keep a consistent temp throughout.
6.
Set HLT to 2 degrees above your strike temp.
PRO TIP:
The HLT takes roughly 60-75 mins
to heat to strike temps. Heat your HLT the night
before for a shorter heat up time on brew day
