SANITATION
FIRST TIME CLEANING
Sanitize the immersion coil, thermowell, lid and gasket.
Before you use your system, you will need to clean all manufacturing residues with either TSP (highly
recommended and can be found at any hardware store) or warm soapy water, followed by a good hot
water rinse. Please see the FAQ section on our website (www.ssbrewtech.com) regarding proper care
and cleaning of stainless steel.

NOTES ON EFFICIENCY
Efficiency of your system depends on many variables. Ideally, you would have the fermenter in an area
where the temperatures are relatively moderate.
Since the system contains both heating and cooling, the controller will need to be properly setup to
avoid over cycling. Cycling is where the system runs the cooling or heating cycle long enough to over-
shoot the set point and past the threshold where it causes the opposite function to activate too quickly.
To avoid over cycling, we recommend you set the “delay” on your controller to at least 5 minutes. This
will allow sufficient time for the fermenter’s liquid temperature to stabilize and ultimately avoid over
cycling.
This will extend the life of the ice in your cooler. We recommend using ONLY block ice, frozen plastic
water jugs or similar. Cubed ice melts much faster than block ice thus requiring more frequent additions
of ice to ensure you maintain cold water. You should avoid using your FTSs
2
to bring the wort from a high
temperature to a pitching temperature. In addition to leaving all of the cold break* in your fermenter, it
will consume much of your cooling capacity and require you to replenish the ice early in the process.
*Cold break- A term that describes the precipitation or flocculation of proteins, tannins, and hop matter
that occurs when wort is rapidly chilled.
