5. Naudojimo instrukcijos

The Brewferm Stainless Steel Bottom Filter is designed to act as a false bottom, allowing clear wort to be drawn off while leaving behind trub and other solids. It is particularly effective for lautering or transferring fermented beer.

1. Lautering (Mashing): If used during the mashing process, ensure the filter is securely placed at the bottom of your mash tun. Carefully add your grain bed and water. The filter will allow the wort to drain through while retaining the grain solids.
2. Wort Transfer: After the mash or fermentation, slowly open the spigot or valve at the bottom of your brewing vessel. The filter will prevent larger particles from entering your collection vessel, resulting in a clearer wort or beer.
3. Srauto valdymas: Monitor the flow rate. If the flow becomes too slow, it may indicate a compacted grain bed or accumulated solids. Adjusting the flow or gently stirring the top layer of the grain bed (if lautering) may help.

7. Problemų sprendimas

• Slow Filtration/Clogging:
  • Ensure the filter is clean and free of debris before use.
  • If using with grains, a too-fine crush or a very compact grain bed can slow filtration. Consider adjusting your grain crush or gently raking the top of the grain bed.
  • Check the spigot or valve for any blockages.
• Incomplete Filtration/Cloudy Wort:
  • Verify that the filter is properly seated at the bottom of the vessel, with no gaps allowing solids to bypass it.
  • Ensure the filter is not damaged or bent, which could create bypass channels.
