THE INGREDIENTS AND THEIR STORAGE
You will receive a set of ingredients and this user manual in a separate
delivery to the brewery. You must use this set of ingredients for your
rst brew. An example is shown in Figure 5 (Part 2 of this manual).
Liquid Malt Extract (LME) ages over time and this can affect
the beer avour. We keep all our LME cold until shipment to
you and ask that you continue this refrigerated storage policy
until the evening before use. So any LME you have needs to be
refrigerated until the evening before brewing, after which time
it should be put on a bench overnight, so that it can warm up to
room temperature before opening the next day. This will make it
easier to pour. You can also warm the can up in hot water for
10 minutes prior to use if you forget to take it out of the fridge.
Dry Malt Extract (DME) does not need refrigeration so can be
kept at room temperature indenitely. Keep it preferably in a
cool and dry area.
The clarication agent should not be kept below 5°C (41°F).
UNPACK THE BREWERY
Remove the protective cardboard packaging when you receive
your brewery.
Unscrew the four screws that attach the brewery to the pallet
and remove the brackets from their internal slots.
IMPORTANT: Keep the protective packaging, the pallet, the
screws and brackets in a safe place for possible future use if the
brewery needs to be shipped to a service agent for maintenance.
REMOVE THE EQUIPMENT STORED IN THE VESSEL
As well as your Personal Brewery, you have received some
equipment which has been placed inside the vessel or inside
the brewery tower during transportation. This includes:
A. The Sundry Equipment to help you brew as shown in
Figure 6 (Part 2 of this Manual)
B. The Sediment Bottle and its neoprene cover
C. The Draft Tap Font as shown in Figure 3A
D. 2 x U-shaped stainless steel wheel chocks as seen in Figure 4A.
E. An electrical cord to connect to your brewery and your
electrical power source.
F. The drip tray.
Undo the vessel lid and unpack all these items. Open the
brewery tower door and remove any of these items in there,
except do not remove the gas regulator, which will need to be
attached to a gas bottle as shown in Figures 4B and 4C.
POSITION THE BREWERY
Position your Personal Brewery in a place where it can remain
for the duration of the brewing process and beer dispensing
period. IMPORTANT: this will need to be on a at level surface.
Ensure you place your brewery in a well-ventilated area so that if
the CO2gas cylinder leaks, the CO2dissipates easily.
It is advisable to place the brewery on a surface than can handle
leakage. The brewery contains beer under pressure and it is
possible that a beer leakage occurs. We suggest that you assume
a worst case scenario and position your brewery in a place where
a major leakage could be easily cleaned up.
The brewery is on four wheels which will enable you to push the
brewery unit in a straight line. They are not castors so in order
to change direction you will need to lift or drag the front or back
around to suit the direction that you require.
To x the brewery into position, please slide the wheel chocks
around the two front wheels, see Figure 4A.
This will prevent the brewery from being pushed around.
It is preferable to keep the unit away from direct sunlight.
For electrical safety reasons the unit must be kept out of the
rain or wet area’s so is not suitable for positioning outside in an
uncovered area.
It is preferable that the unit is maintained in an ambient
environment between 5°C and 38°C (41°F to 100°F) and less
than 90% humidity.
Remove the white protective wrap from the stainless steel by
pulling it off with your hands. It should peel off easily and reveal
clean stainless steel.
Position the unit so that there is adequate air-ow through the
air ducts at the base of the brewery tower. This is to enable the
refrigeration system to work properly. It is important that the ducts
are not blocked in some way or that the air ow does not loop back
on itself. The area around the ducts may become warm at times.
ACCESS TO MACHINE INTERNAL PARTS AND SERVICING
IMPORTANT: READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY
We have carefully designed and constructed this machine so
that if necessary the user can access the internal parts of the
brewery if required. On initial set up of the brewery you will be
required to access this area.
Before accessing the rear protective panel you must ensure that
the brewery is not connected to the mains power supply.
In the future, should you need to access this area after the
gas cylinder is connected, you should also ensure that the CO2
