    A single heat source for the lower pot (boil kettle) is required for operation. The upper pot (mash tun) does not need a heat source. Blichmann Engineering offers three heat source types for your BrewEasy™ all grain system. Our HellFire™...
  • Page 3 We recommend and use the RipTide™, pictured below. BREWCOMMANDER™ Blichmann Engineering offers the BrewCommander™ temperature controller in both gas (propane and natural gas) and electric heater versions. It includes a full operational manual, parts list, and installation instructions.
  • Page 4 Important: Install these fittings exactly as shown or the drain tube will not fit into the assembly! 5. Install the false bottom into the mash tun.

  • Page 5 Either install a lower flow orifice or throttle the flow using the outlet valve of the mash tun.

  • Page 7: Operation

    Most fly sparge setups achieve about 78-82% mash (conversion) efficiency on Blichmann Engineering equipment. Of course there are many variables (crush, water chemistry, adjuncts etc.) that effect the efficiency of any mashing system. The BrewEasy™ system typically achieves about 10% lower efficiency than a fly sparging system and about 10% more than a typical brew in a bag system.
  • Page 8 During the mash, the temperature in the lower kettle is kept 3-5 degrees higher than the desired mash temperature. BrewEasy V6 © Blichmann Engineering, LLC 2023 For replacement parts, visit: blichmannengineering.com/genuine-replacement-parts...
  • Page 9 The doughing-in process is vital for problem free recirculation. Turning on the pump before this dough-in process is complete will likely cause an airlock in the pump and a stuck mash!

  • Page 10 (stratification). In addition, you can easily add heat to make up any temperature losses in the system to maintain the desired mash temperature and ramp to other rest temperatures. Blichmann Engineering offers the BrewCommander™ control system to automate this process, providing ultimate accuracy and repetition! During the Mash: After about 10-15 min all the liquor has been recirculated approximately one to two times and the wort is an even consistent temperature.
