Connectors and clamps should be checked and tightened if necessary, before each use to avoid leaks.
Page 4: Introduction
This user manual will teach you how to prepare the system for the first time, how to use it, clean it and maintain it. You’ll also find an FAQ which addresses some questions that might arise during use. We recommend checking out or website, www.brewtools.com, to find the latest information and other tips and advice. 7712206-User Manual-EN-2019-9...

This chapter will tell you how to do the necessary steps to prepare your system for use. For a full video walkthrough of the assembly and preparation of the system, check out www.brewtools.com or scan the QR code. Assembly Unpack all the parts and place the brewing system upside down. Connect the power cables and other accessories like the return temperature sensor if you have that.
Page 6 Install two o-rings on the top two grooves on the center pipe. Use the size marked 16x2mm. If you want a tighter fit, use the 18x2mm o-rings. Install 18x2mm o-rings on the dip-tube(s). Finally, install 22x2mm o-rings on the outside grooves of the mash hat. The dip should be installed on the right outlet port inside the tank.
Page 7 Install the 3 legs of the malt pipe using an allen key. Take note that the latches must be installed as shown below, and the wing nut must be used on the outside of the malt pipe. Alternatively you can use the included hex nut. Install the silicone leg protectors to avoid scratching the bottom of the main tank during use.
Page 8 Passivation We recommend passivating the steel before first-time use and 1-2 times a year. Use StarSan or similar acid-based chemicals. Fill the tank with lukewarm water. Use approximately 5ml StarSan per liter and leave it for 15-20 minutes. Electrical connection The system must be connected to an earthed socket with a residual circuit breaker.

Visit our website, www.brewtools.com or scan the QR-code to get the latest information on our Pro series software. Valves The system two T-type 3-way ball valves as standard. One side valve, and one bottom valve. The valves only close the port opposite to the direction the handle is pointing. If the handle points toward the middle port (as shown below), all ports are open.
Page 10 The illustrations show the fluid flow (green) in the 3-way valves based on the handle position. The bottom valve has an extended handle which makes it possible to control from the right side of the control system. There is a sticker showing the flow based on the handle direction.
Page 11 Dip tube The dip tube position is adjustable and is normally used in the two positions shown below. We recommend positioning the dip tube in the upper position during mashing (especially when getting to know the system) to prevent the heaters becoming exposed. Exposing the heating elements will burn them and make them difficult to clean.
Page 12 The pump The pump must never run without fluid in the chamber. This will cause damage to the magnetic impeller. In the beginning of the brew, air may be trapped inside the pump. To vent it, start the pump for a few seconds, stop it, and start it again. Repeat if necessary. The pump must be installed as shown below.
Page 13 Preheating We recommend heating the strike water before you install the center pipe and malt pipe for an even temperature. We also recommend circulating the water. The bottom valve handle must point to the “UP CENTER” position Crushing the grains We recommend using grains that’s not too finely crushed to get the maximum flow through the grain bed.
Page 14 Different setups The system can be set up in many ways. Below, we show 3 recommended options based on your accessories. Standard setup Two-valve setup 7712206-User Manual-EN-2019-9 14 | 22...
Page 15 Three-valve setup Circulating during mashing We always recommend resting the mash for 20 minutes after stirring in. In this period, we recommend circulating on the outside of the malt pipe. This is done by pumping the wort out through the lower port (red) and into the tank again on the left port (green). Use a dip tube to make sure the wort is circulating around the malt pipe.
Page 16 By setting the bottom valve in a middle position shown below, you can circulate both outside the malt pipe and over the grain bed. With this solution you can set the pump power high (70-100%). Make sure the liquid level outside the malt pipe is stable and the heating elements never expose.
Page 17 Boiling Boiling can be done without a lid (open boil) or using a steam hat (accessory), if you have a ventilation system. You can also use the steam hat with our steam condenser (accessory) if you don’t have a ventilation system. During the boiling process it is important to adjust the power to get a satisfactory boil.
Page 18 Maintenance Normal cleaning, rinsing and drying the tank, tubes, and cooler is sufficient. Tubes should be replaced when severely discolored. If valves start leaking due to wear or stuck particles, we offer a rebuild kit for them. O-rings and gaskets are replaced as needed. The pump impeller should be checked from time to time to make sure no particles or grains are stuck.
Page 19: Faq 19|22
This section covers some of the most frequently asked questions or challenges that may occur. Q: The pump makes a noise, but no liquid is being pumped A: You might have air in your system. Start and stop the pump a few times to vent it. Check that the bottom valve is correctly set.
Page 20 A: Check that the SSID and password is correctly entered. Both are case sensitive. You can also try setting up an access point on your phone to test another network. The system only supports 2.4 Ghz networks. For more tips and information, visit www.brewtools.com 7712206-User Manual-EN-2019-9 20 | 22...
