Brew Day – 

Knockout & 

Transfer

1. 

Move the hose (

Green

) from the whirlpool port to 

the ‘Wort In’ on the chiller. (see 

Figure 7

)

2. 

Move the hose (

Black

) from the bottom drain on the 

MT to the racking port on the BK. (see 

Figure 7

)

3. 

Attach a garden hose to the ‘Water In’ on the heat 
exchanger.

Figure 7

PRO TIP:

 Before proceeding make sure the MT 

has been emptied of grain and rinsed down. The 
water exiting the heat exchanger will be roughly 
155F and can be used for CIP. 

PRO TIP:

 The best way to lower “Wort Out” 

temps is to slow the flow from the wort pump by 
using the ball valve. Increasing the flow of “Water 
In” can help as well but will use more water. 

4. 

Attach a hose (

Gold

) from the “Water Out” to the 

bottom drain of the MT.

5. 

Ensure the heat exchangers  inline  temp  probe is 
plugged into the panel.

6. 

Open the valves and turn the wort pump on.

7. 

Adjust the flow on the wort pump outlet until the 
correct pitch temp is read on the panel’s heat 
exchanger PID.
