2.3 Information on special components
Lifting device
The lifting device consists of the lifting device, the rope cable winch, the
rope and the cross with suspension hook. Check these parts for damage
or proper condition before each brewing process. For further information
and safety instructions, please refer to the enclosed manual for this cable
winch. The handle of the cable winch can be folded when not in use to save
space. The rope must also be checked for damage and monitored for signs
of brittleness or aging (see also Chapter 9 Maintenance and servicing).
When the malt pipe has been lifted out, this device can only be swiveled in
one direction and lowered there. In the swiveled state with the malt pipe, it
should be drained and unloaded as quickly as possible.
Container lid
The lid helps with heating to reach the temperatures faster. The
ventilation holes prevent pressure build-up in the boiler and allow air to
circulate easily. Water condenses on the underside of the lid at higher
temperatures. When lifting the lid, make sure that the edge of the lid is
held over the opening in the boiler so that the condensation water that
runs o (when held at an angle) runs back again.
Drain tap
The drain tap simplifies cleaning and draining of the trub after filling. The
drain is located at the lowest point and in the cleaning position (see page
74) the Braumeister can be completely drained.

Circulation pump
The circulation pump can also be switched on and o in manual ope-
ration. It is important that the pump is vented after filling the liquid in
manual operation so that it has full capacity and that it does not run dry
and possibly become damaged. This is done by switching the pump on
and o several times with the water filled in (until no more air bubbles
escape). In automatic mode, this is done automatically.
In the brewing process and in manual operation, the pump switches o
automatically for protection at 90°C and does not switch on again until
88°C. The speed and thus the performance of the pump can be regulated
via touch control on the display or via the pressure in the line, which is
precisely measured by a pressure sensor. The speed and thus the output
of the pump can be regulated via touch control on the display or via the
pressure in the line, which is precisely measured with a pressure sensor.
Optimum circulation pressure for brewing is just under 0.15-0.2 or
0.1-0.15 bar for the Braumeister 500/ 1,000l (readable on the pressure
gauge or on the control at the top of the display). The circulation can also
be controlled by speed or a set pressure. When using the former variant,
one must pay attention to the pressure during the process itself.
You can access the pump control menu by pressing the P symbol at the
top of the menu bar (see next page).
The pressure of 0.2 bar or 0.15 bar must not be significantly exceeded
to avoid overpressure in the malt pipe. The pump capacity is limited to
approx. 0.25 bar for the 200l or 0.2 bar for the 500/ 1,000l.

Filling quantity via solenoid valve
(Accessories: not included in the scope of delivery).
Thanks to the solenoid valve, the desired filling quantity can be precisely
determined during the brewing process. The solenoid valve then allows
as much water to pass through until the previously determined value is
reached. The fill level is measured via the same pressure sensor that is
already used to measure the pump pressure.

Information pertaining to the piping layout and the position of the valves
By default, the Braumeister uses 3 feed-through and drain valves on the
bottom as well as one valve on the vessel itself. Valves at the bottom must
be positioned dierently depending on the application and the section of
the brewing process. The valve on top of the vessel is used to remove the
wort; at the same time it serves as inlet for the whirlpool application. The
following description of the brewing process describes the relevant valve
positions again and in more detail.
Information about the cooling jacket and water quality
In order to optimise the cooling eect, relatively cold water must be used
as cooling medium. The greater the temperature dierence between the
cooling water and the temperature of the wort, the faster the cooling
process is ensured. The so-called “whirlpool eect” causes the wort to flow
in a circular current. This also accelerates the cooling eect (see chapter
“Cooling”). From Braumeister 500l we recommend the pre cooling from
100°C down to approx. 60°C bei the cooling jacket in the Braumeister and
the cooling down to fermentation temperature by an adequate plate chiller.
In order to prevent corrosive damage, clogging or contamination inside
the double- walled shell, only clean water/cooling medium must be used
that does not contain iron particles. Therefore, do not use pipes/fittings or
similar equipment made of steel as supply lines to the double-walled shell.
Prior to starting the operation, a water analysis may be required. You may
install screens and filters in order to prevent dirt and iron particles to enter
the system.
