System Instructions

Kettle Assembly Instructions

• On the front of the kettle there are 3 tri-clamp (TC) ports

• The lower center receives the TC pickup tube as well as 1 of the 4 butterfly valves

• The lower tangential inlet receives 1 of the 4 butterfly valves (also will receive the tee fitting and temperature probe during the whirlpool)

• the top tangential inlet receives 1 of the 4 butterfly valves as well (also will receive the stainless tee fitting and temperature probe during the mash)

• Last, attach the TC 5500w element to the left hand side of the kettle via the large TC ferrule

Pump Assembly Instructions

• Add a few wraps of teflon tape around the threads on the pump inlet and outlet

• Hand tighten the included 1.5" TC to 3/4" NPT adapter to pump inlet, tighten an additional half to full turn with wrench

• Hand tighten the included 1.5" TC to 1/2" NPT adapter to pump outlet, tighten an additional half to full turn with wrench

• The pump outlet with receive 1 of the 4 butterfly valves

• Last, plug the power cord into the included twist lock adapter before plugging into the panel

Mash Instructions

• During the mash, the included tee fitting is to be attached to the top tangential inlet as shown in the pictures

• The included TC temperature probe is then attached to one side

• Attached to the other side of the tee fitting is the silicone tubing from the pump outlet

• Attach another length of silicone tubing from the lower center kettle port to the pump inlet

• Turn on the pump switch and recirculate the mash during the entire mash schedule to maintain temperature and improve efficiency

Whirlpool instructions

• For the whirlpool we recommend attaching the tee fitting the same manor as the mash (with temperature probe and pump outlet tubing), but instead attach to the lower tangential inlet

• Once whirlpool is complete, then simply chill wort and move into fermenter!
