14. COOLING WITH COUNTERFLOW WORT CHILLER
NOTE:
On your rst use, run cleaner through the
Counterow Wort Chiller (38) before brewing.
The maximum ow rate for the water is 6L/min.
Do not exceed this ow rate as it may cause damage
to the counterow wort chiller (38). The maximum
ow rate of wort through the Counterow Wort Chiller
is 4L/min. At this ow rate with 20°C water the
resulting wort in the fermenter will be about 25°C.
By reducing the ow of the wort through the
Counterow Wort Chiller by adjusting the 1/2” Ball
Valve (16), the wort in the fermenter can get as close
as 3°C above the municipal water temperature.
1. At the end of the boil turn the heating element o.
Create a whirlpool by stirring the wort vigorously
with your paddle or using a whirlpool paddle.
The pump is also strong enough to form a
moderate whirlpool when not actively boiling.
Place the Counterow Wort Chiller (38) on a
table or bench. Push t the Hose Barb on the end
of Connection A (Fig P) into the recirculation
opening on the inside of the G70 Body.
NOTE:
Ensure that none of your wort or water
tubes are sitting underneath the Counterow
Wort Chiller. The water tubes should be coming
out from the top (Fig P). If a tube is squashed or
there is a kink, this will cause a pressure build up
and not allow the liquid to pass through.
2. The coloured hoses (Connection B and C) are
the tap water hoses. Connect Connection B to
your Tap Adapter (44), this is where cold water
goes in. Connection C is where the water drains
out hot as it ows through the Counterow Wort
Chiller (38). Connection D is where your wort
exits the Counterow Wort Chiller. To sanitise the
Counterow Wort Chiller put Connection D into
the G70 body. Turn the pump on to recirculate
the wort back into the G70 Body to sanitise the
inside of the coil - complete this step without
the cold water circulating. Recirculate for 1 - 2
minutes maximum.
NOTE:
The G70 is designed to cool while
simultaneously transferring your wort to your
fermenter. You should not cool by recirculating
into your G70 as this reduces the thermal
eciency.
3. Turn the cooling water on. Once Connection D
runs cold, switch the pump o and place the
end of the hose inside the clean and sanitised
fermenter. Always try to keep the fermenter
opening covered to avoid contamination.
Take an OG reading of cold wort. Add yeast as
instructed on the recipe at the correct yeast
pitching temperature.
CAUTION!
During the boil, do not replace the Glass Lid (36),
as you may cause a boilover and removing the
Glass Lid may become dangerous. Don’t move the
G70 Body when full.

BOILING
13. NOTES FOR BOILING
NOTE:
Do not let the liquid come to a boil while the
Grain Basket (31) is still on top, or you will be unable
to prevent a boilover.
As your wort comes to boil, foam
will appear. Use your paddle to gently stir and pat this
down mainly in the rst 5 - 10 minutes, so it does not
boil over.
Tip: Give the wort a good stir before taking the pre-
boil SG reading. While the wort boils, add your boil
additions as instructed on your recipe. Boil times are
usually between 60 - 90 minutes.
