Problem when brewing: Troubleshooting
Wort fountains shoot up during circulation Malt is crushed too finely
Pump blocked More thorough insertion of fine sieve/filter cloth and filter plates. Take more care when pouring into malt pipe. No malt into vessel!
Pump makes noises Pump closed too tightly (hand tighten only) or not properly vented.
Reaching correct temperature takes too long Close lid during heating up period.
Condensation forces its way out of the lid Set up Braumeister in vertical position.
Circulation process does not start Check whether pump is operating and vented.
Wort flows too slowly or not at all during purification Use wooden spoon to pierce malt from top to bottom filter plate several times. Malt is crushed too finely -> Break open corns only, do not grind finely.
Problem with beer: Troubleshooting
Beer smells and tastes sour Ingress of bacteria: pour beer away. Work more thoroughly in cold-process area. Brewing times possibly not long enough, therefore excess starch residue in beer.
Alcohol content too high Decrease original wort content by adding water during the hops boiling process.
Alcohol content too low Increase original wort content by increasing boiling time (water evaporation).
Various foreign odours More cleanliness.
Fermentation does not start Add more yeast.
Beer is cloudy Store beer for longer period.
Carbon dioxide too low Too much carbon dioxide lost during decanting or through pipe.
Carbon dioxide too low – beer foams over Pressure too high – ventilate flip-top bottles more frequently.
Poor foam stability Too little carbon dioxide.
Yield too low Stir in malt more thoroughly
