THE EQUIPMENT
#1: Brew kettle
#2: Malt basket
#3: Lifting handle (for the malt basket)
#4: Filter screen in the malt basket
ALL PARTS EXPLAINED:
#1: Brew kettle with a tap
The brew kettle is used during all phases of the brewing process,
from heating the water (for mashing), mashing, lautering, boiling
and cooling the wort that goes into the fermenting vessel.
There are the water measurement with both Liter and Gallon on
the wall of the brewing kettle.
The stainless steel tap is special made in a larger diameter and
shorter outlet in order to have a bigger and quicker ow.
Please note that the handle can get hot.
Plastic Bottom
The plastic bottom are attached underneath the brew kettle,
covering the electronic components and the pump. This bottom
can be removed by unscrewing the screws. The feet assure a
enough space to diuse the heat from the inside of base and
protect the electronic device.

Glass Lid
Place the lid on the brew kettle during mashing in order to retain
the heat within the mash. It is visible to watch inside of the kettle
well. The lid has an extra hole intended to be used in conjunction
with a thermometer. This allows for measuring the temperature
in the mash at the top of the kettle as the temperature here
sometimes be dierent from that on the bottom where the
built-in temperature sensor is located.

GETTING STARTED
Before your rst brew:
• Close the tap. Add about 5-10 litres of water to the brew kettle.
• Place the lid on top of the boiler and connect the power cord to a wall outlet. The built-in light in the
brew program selector will now illuminate.
• Switch the brew program selector to “II” and press“RUN” button on the brew controller.
The display light will now illuminate. This will initiate heating of the water to 100°C or 212°F.
Wait until the water is boiling.
USING THE HOME BEER BREWING MACHINE
This chapter will explain brewing in general, and how to use the brew controller and the program
selector switch during brewing.
It is suggested to have a pump to connect the tap and make the circulation and lautering so that you can
have good performance and beer.
UNDERSTANDING THE HOME BEER BREWING MACHINE CONTROLLER:
The Home Beer Brewing Machine has an easy to use built-in controller that has been designed to
support the three phases of brewing described above. Each phase is completed by basically heating up
and maintaining temperatures, where each phase has a dierent function in the beer brewing process.

The phases are displayed as HEAT (preheating), MASH (mashing), LAUTER (lauthering) and BOIL
(boiling) in the brew controller display. Each phase has three parameters that can be changed:
a. Heating power, in percent %
b. Target temperature (°C and °F)
c. Time (M)
The brew controller has been pre-programmed with parameter values that is suitable for brewing using a
single step mashing at 65°C or 149°F, with the malt basket equipment setup. Each of the three phases
have been set up with a duration of 60 minutes. This will be suitable for most beer recipes where modern,
well modied malts are used.
The brew controller parameter can be changed, allowing you to set dierent values of your choice, and
according to the recipe. How to change the parameters is described later in this user manual.
If you want a protein rest at around 45°C/113°F, it is possible for you to set. Starch conversion in the mash
occurs between 55°C/131°F and 71°C/159.8°F. For most home brewers, single step mashing should be
performed in the temperature range between about 63°C (more fermentable sugar, resulting in a dryer
beer with a thinner body) and 68°C/154.4°F (less fermentable sugar, resulting in more residual sugar and
more body of the beer). The mashing temperature will normally be described in the beer recipe.
Some brewers may want to do multi step mashing (mashing using several dierent temperature and
steps). This is possible to achieve too, it can have 5 steps mashing at most.

THE BREW CONTROLLER DISPLAY EXPLAINED:
1. Current temperature reading, determined by a sensor in the bottom of the brew kettle.
Will display ambient temperature whenever the power cord is connected.
2. Target temperature indicator: This will display the target temperature for the current brew phase.
3. Heating power indicator: The display will show the percentage, %, of the current power supplied to
the heating element.
4. Time indicator: The remaining time for the current brew phase.
5. Heating status: Animated symbol indicate that the heating element is on or o.

key for 5 seconds, the program set and run will be recovered to default value.
PROG I include the rst three phase: HEAT, MASH and LAUTER.
PROG II include the last phase: BOIL.
PROG III include all phase: HEAT, MASH, LAUTER and BOIL.
8. Temperature °C/°F converter: To convert between centigrade and fahrenheit degree when the machine
is on. Keep pressing for 5 seconds, can adjust the temperature tolerance at the range of ±10°C/50°F, after
choosing the number, press SET, the temperature indicating will be changed accordingly.

3. Run
In the condition of standby or pause, press RUN (RUN/PAUSE), the machines will run automatically
according to choice of program I, II, III. The machine will be hold on when press the RUN/PAUSE key
again and the cycle repeats. The machine runs from top to bottom according to the steps corresponding
to each phase under the program, it can also jump directly and start to run from the step chosen by
pressing the STEP key. The steps with a timer setting of 0 or temperature setting of 0 are not run and
are automatically skipped. The ickering step in the top row on the display is the one currently running,
and the symbols of other unrunning steps are displayed in the top row but not blink, this indicate that
these steps have been set up for running, and the steps after running is nished will not be displayed
again. All ICONS corresponding to this step are displayed in other parts of the screen: a barrel symbol
shows the heating status, the steam symbol inside the barrel is dynamic when heated, static when keep
warm. After each step is completed, three alarm sounds will be issued, and ve alarm sounds will be
issued after each phase is completed and start next phase. After the last step of B3 is nished, the
machine will give ve alarm sounds and then shut down. All parameters can be modied throughout
the brewing process, this means that you can change and reset all the new parameters in advance after
pressing the control system power switch ON.
4. Program Selection
