Page 3: Before We Start
BEFORE WE START The Robobrew home brewery is a fantastic unit for making high quality beer at home. When used correctly this brewery is safe to use, easy to operate and fast to clean up and store. It should be a joy to use this unit for making beer at home. - Page 4 1. Boiler False Bottom Assembly This model of Robobrew has been designed with a false bottom. This false bottom HAS NOT been designed so you can place grain directly onto this screen. This false bottom is designed to protect your pump from solids and drawing in things such as hop pellets, flowers, grain, etc.
- Page 5 2. Malt Pipe Assembly The malt pipe is the pie that sits inside the boiler and contains your grain. The malt pipe is made up of a top screen and a bottom screen. As you can see from the right the bottom screen looks slightly different and it has no silicon seal and also has a stainless threaded...
- Page 6 Once the bottom screen is in place use the extension tube and place this on top of the other stainless tube that you just attached to the bottom screen. There is no need to push this extension tube all the way to the bottom.
- Page 7 You now need to transfer the malt pipe to the boiler. In order to do this you need to fit the malt pipe handle. To fit the handle feed one end of the handle through one hole in the malt piple. Push the handle in on one side far enough so you have enough clearance on the other side to...
- Page 8 3. Mashing Once the malt pipe has been assembled you can pour your grain into the malt piple. The malt pipe is designed to take up to abour 9kg of grain but in the majority of recipes you will probably only probably use 4-5kg. Once the grains have been poured into the malt pipe it’s important to stir in the grains and remove all dough balls (dry...
- Page 9 4. Fitting the Recirculation Pipe WARNING: The recirulation arm must be fitted whenever the pump is in use. Follow these instructions to fit the recirculation arm. Fit the silicon seal onto the bottom of the recirculation arm as show in the picture to the right.

Page 10: Temperature Adjustment
5. Temperature Adjustment To adjust the temperature of the brewery simply hit the set butto until you see the numbers on the display flash. Then use the arrow keys to set the desired temperature. The temperature on the display reads the temperature at the bottom of the boiler near where the element is mounted. - Page 11 6. Recirculation Recirculation is something that can be done easily using the pump that is built into this model of Robobrew. Connect Tube to It is recommended to purchase Recirculation some silicon tubing with the Arm Robobrew as this will help with recirculation and also with transfering the wort from the Robobrew unit to your fermenter.
- Page 12 7. Sparging Once you have mashed your grain for 60-90 minutes it’s then time to sparge the grain. Using the malt pipe handle lift the malt pipe out of the boiler and rotate 90 degrees until you see the feet of the malt pipe locate near the wire supports.
- Page 13 1900 watt element is sufficient to maintain a constant rolling boil. 9. Cooling The Robobrew includes a immersion cooling coil. Keg King also have an optional counter flow chiller as well but this is slightly more complicated to use and it is sold as an optional extra.
- Page 14 Recommended Accessories Silicon Tubing Silicon tubing is great for transfering the wort from the Robobrew unit to your fermenter or into a hot cube. We recommend heavy duty silicon tubing with 12mm ID and 18.5mm OD. This tubing has part number 005496 and can be ordered from any good Keg King distributor. The Silicon tubing is plasticiser free so there is no BPA. It’s also suitable for temperatures up to 200C so it’s suitable for the transfer of hot wort. Unfortunately silicon tubing is more expensive than vinyl (PVC) tubing however it’s better suited for this application. Sodium Percarbonate Brewery Cleaner Sodium Percarbonate is a great cleaner for removing protein, hop material and tannins that start to build up in your brewery. Sodium percarbonate is a popular choice for many home brewers as it’s highly effective, it decomposes quickly into oxygen and sodium bicarbonate. It’s very effective at killing bacteria, mold spores, virusus and various other microorganisms. So even once it’s fully decomposed it does not harm finished beer if it happens to get left in the brewery somehow. It is sold in 400gram jars (part number #006172) and also 1kg bags (part number #006141). Wooden Mash Paddle Wood mash paddles are a great tool for any serious brewer. The wood does not scratch your stainless steel pots and the mash paddle design is ideal for removing dough balls. Refractometer A refractometer is a fantastic tool to take instant gravity readings of hot wort. This tool will help you optimise your sparging. If you want to collect the maximum sugars from your malt pipe you can keep sparging in the malt pipe until the wort falling from the underside of the malt pipe reaches 1.010. This tool is siginifiacntly better than the hydrometers as they give a faster reading without having to calibrate the reading based on the temperature of the wort. Heavy Duty Gloves These heavy duty gloves are great for handling chemicals, and also for grabbing items covered in hot wort. They have long sleeves on them and are perfect for brewing with.
