2.3 Information on special components 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. - Page 11 In the automatic brewing process, the pump switches off automatically in case of too high temperatures and only switches on again in a colder state. The power of the pump can be adjusted with the rotary potentiometer. The power recommended by Speidel is marked by an arrow.

The P and the H in the menu bar show whether the pump or the heating is on. If the letter is yellow, the pump or heater is activated. If the symbol is only half yellow, the pump is activated but not on because the liquid is, for example, still too hot.

(this can be done handwritten on paper, but also digitally via My Speidel). One more piece of advice: When trying to brew for the first time, you should take a day and possibly brew with a second person, as it is simply more fun that way and you can use a little help. -
Page 27: Preparations
6.2 Preparations Getting the ingredients Obtain the necessary brewing ingredients (hops, malt and yeast) in advance. It is important that the malt is fresh. After grinding (breaking up the grains – not too fine, see “The right grinding pattern” on page 29), the malt should be used as quickly as possible. - Page 28 Cleaning the equipment Before brewing, the Braumeister is rinsed out with warm water and the pump is flushed by switching it on. The other equipment such as the beer spindle, cooking spoon and fermentation tank are ready and have also been cleaned.
- Page 29 The right grinding pattern Clearance of 1.2 mm; clearly too finely grinded. Clearance of 1.4 mm; not yet completely optimal. Ideally with a clearance of 1.6 mm; suitably grinded. If whole grains do not break when pressed on, the grain has been too coarsely grinded.

Page 32: Mashing
6.4 Mashing The mixing of malt grist and water is called mashing. The aim of the entire mashing process is to extract the malt starch stored in the malt and convert it into sugar with the help of enzymes in the malt. The different enzymes are effective at different temperatures, which is The mashing process... - Page 33 Mashing process Pour in the malt...

The seal and malt pipe must be centred and absolutely flat on the boiler bottom. Inserting the screen plate Slide the screen plate with the sleeve up to the bottom edge. - Page 35 Insert fine sieve Place a fine sieve on the screen plate. Fill in malt Please fill in the malt carefully and make sure you do not spill anything. Otherwise the pump could clog. Stir in the malt Stir the malt well with a wooden spoon and let it swell for a few minutes.
- Page 36 Insert fine sieve Place the second fine sieve on the malt. Inserting the screen plate Slide the second screen plate with the sleeve up to the bottom edge. Put on the hold-down bar Please place the hold-down bar in the appropriate position.
- Page 37 Secure the hold-down bar Secure the hold-down bar with the wing nut. Protein rest During the protein rest, the large protein molecules of the malt are split into small building blocks. The protein rest is important for the clarifi- cation and palatefulness, but especially for the foam stability and the carbonic acid binding capacity of the beer.
- Page 38 Maltose branch During the second phase, the maltose branch, the starch molecules are converted into fermentable sugars with the help of other enzymes found in the malt. This phase is an important stage in the brewing process for the formation of alcohol, because this is where the largest quantities of sugar are produced.
-
Page 39: Lautering
Saccharification rest 1 In the third mash phase, further starch components are broken down with the aid of enzymes active at this temperature level and liquefied in the wort. The temperature stage is about 73 °C and is also maintained for about 35 minutes. - Page 40 After 15-20 minutes of lautering, remove the malt pipe completely and dispose of the malt grains. For safety reasons, it is always recommended to work with heat-resistant gloves, as all parts now have high tempera- tures. After removing the malt pipe, confirm this with Continue. To start hop boiling press Continue again and then Start now.

Page 44: Hop Boiling
6.6 Hop boiling As described in the previous section, the automatic system is continued and hop cooking is started. The display shows the time and temperature of the phase again. The cooking time automatically starts to count down after a certain waiting time without any further temperature increase. With Edit the setpoint temperature and setpoint time can still be correc- ted or changed during automatic operation. - Page 45 Depending on the type of hops and bitter content, add the first hops to the boiling wort 10 to 15 minutes after the start of boiling. The hops re- main in the wort until the end of the boiling time because its substances only take effect after a longer boiling time and release the intended hop bitterness into the beer.
- Page 46 Hop addition during the hop boiling process Formula for the hop quantity Bitter units (BE) × litres of beer × 10 Hop quantity in grams = % alpha acid × % bittering agent utilisation With a total cooking time of 80-90 minutes, a bitter substance utilization of 30 % can be assumed.

Page 47: Cooling Down
15 BE × 20 litres × 10 Grams of hops = = 33 g 3 % × 30 % End of hop cooking When the boiling time has expired, a signal tone is emitted again to indi- cate the end of the brewing process. This is confirmed with Finished. The heating is switched off. -
Page 48: Main Fermentation
Before the cooling starts, we recommend stirring the still hot wort thoroughly with a long wooden spoon. This creates a so-called “whirl- pool effect”, which promotes the sinking of suspended solids in the wort and thus clarifies the wort. The cooling process is mainly used to cool the wort and to further settle the proteins and hop components knocked out during boiling. - Page 49 In this phase it is decided whether you want to prepare bottom- or top- fermented beer. Top-fermenting yeast needs 15-23 °C for the fermentation process, whereas bottom-fer- menting yeast is active at 4-12 °C. Thus, the addition of yeast also depends on the recipe and the type of beer desired.
-
Page 50: Maturing
It is particularly important to maintain the temperature. Too low temperatures cause the yeast cells to become active only slowly or not at all. If temperatures are too high, the yeast cells can die. The fermentation should be active 6-12 hours after the yeast has been added, which can easily be seen from the escaping gas bubbles through the airlock. - Page 51 disinfectant for food items. This preparation should take place during the fermentation process or even earlier so that you do not get unnecessarily hectic on the day of bottling. The defrosted wort is now carefully added to the young beer in the fermentation tank 1-2 hours before bottling.
