Speidel’s Master Brewer 2 Presentation of the Master Brewer Components and extent of supply Please find out about the components and the extent of supply from the following illustration (the cooling spiral and fermenting cask are not included). Installation of the Master Brewer The Master Brewer must be placed on a sturdy, stable and horizontal base before use or before the brewing process.
Speidel’s Master Brewer Care must be taken when cleaning the brewing boiler, that no sprayed water or moisture comes into contact with the electrical components. The power supply must be disconnected in order to clean the Master Brewer. The Master Brewer and the associated internal fitments only have to be freed of dust and dirt with warm water before the brewing begins.
Speidel’s Master Brewer 3 Working with the Master Brewer Advice about safety Caution: danger of burning! The container, lid and fittings become very hot. The boiler contains boiling wort at the end of the brewing process. Follow the advice about installation. Never move the Master Brewer when it is in a hot condition.

Speidel’s Master Brewer Softening the brewing water The brewing water can be softened if necessary. The water (cold tap water) is boiled for 30 minutes in the Master Brewer for this purpose, then it is cooled and stored temporarily – e.g., in the fermenting container – until the brewing. The separated lime has been deposited on the bottom of the container and it will be disposed of.

Speidel’s Master Brewer heating The pump and heating remain switched on until the temp S/I 038/019°C programmed mashing temperature is reached. The set temperature and actual temperature are shown on the display. On reaching the mashing temperature, a signal tone sounds, auto 38°C reached...
Speidel’s Master Brewer Maltose mode During the maltose mode, which is the second phase, the molecules of starch are converted into fermentable sugar with the aid of other enzymes that are present in the malt. This phase is an important stage of the brewing process for forming alcohol because the greatest amounts of sugar are formed during it.
Speidel’s Master Brewer above. Remove the upper sheet metal sieve including the sieve cloth and pierce the malt husks with the aid of a long wooden spoon, so that ‘encapsulated’ beer wort can run off or drain downwards again. The temperature continues to be maintained constantly at the preset temperature of 78°C during the purging.

Speidel’s Master Brewer doing so, that the vaporized water is also replaced. Conversely, the liquid’s level will fall when the content of basic wort is too low (by the water vaporizing), which leads to a higher concentration of sugar and thus to a higher alcoholic content too. The brewing boiler must be open when the boiling phase is carried out.
Speidel’s Master Brewer Cooling You must work in absolutely sterile conditions from now on because contamination that is caused by bacteria which are present in the air or on dirty equipment [e.g., utensils] during all of the further working steps, can utterly ruin your work All of the equipment that is now used must be thoroughly cleans or disinfected as the case may be.
Speidel’s Master Brewer the activity of organisms in the beer yeast, which convert the fermentable sugar into alcohol and carbonic acid. The cask is sealed with a lid and a fermenting bung immediately after adding the yeast. Sulphurous acids should be filled in the fermenting bung, so that no foreign organisms can enter the cask.

Speidel’s Master Brewer can thus be deposited again. A hose that is pushed onto the stop cock and reaches down to the bottom of the bottle serves for the filling. That avoids the foam forming too profusely and it also prevents too much carbonic acid from being lost. The bottles are filled up to between 90% and 95% of their capacity (thus leaving some fermenting space) and sealed immediately.
Speidel’s Master Brewer 5 A brewing example and brief instructions We want to demonstrate brewing with the Master Brewer by using a definitive example that will guide you through the first brewing process step by step, as follows. Beer type: Light wheat beer: top-fermented.

Speidel’s Master Brewer Stir the hot wort vigorously (whirlpool effect) in order to clarify the wort. Put the cooling spiral (accessory) into the middle of the boiler immediately after the boiling ends. Connect the spiral to cold water and begin the cooling. Caution: boiling hot water will flow out of the spiral at the beginning.
Speidel’s Master Brewer 6 Brewing defects and eliminating problems Problem Eliminating the problem Fountains of wort shoot up during circulation. The malt is crushed too finely. If necessary, crush the malt yourself (only break it up). Blocked pump. Put on the filter cloth and sheet metal sieve properly.
