The document describes the Braumeister, a home brewing system. It allows users to brew 20L or 50L of beer with an automated process. The Braumeister guides users through the mashing, boiling, and fermenting steps. It aims to make home brewing easy and hands-off. The document also provides information on accessories, ingredients, and recipes for brewing beer at home with the Braumeister system.

2. Brew your own beer
Brew your own beer in a natural way. Take care of
variety instead of naivety. Drink against the stream.
Serve your friends and mates your own beer. Create a
new sort of beer which you alone can offer your guests.
This will make a great surprise at any celebration or
party.
The Braumeister is designed for a brewing process of
approx. 20 l or 50 l of beer. The addition of hop, malt
and water and the individual steps of the brewing
process are variable. This way, all sorts of beer such as
light top-fermented, dark and dark top-fermented beer
etc. may be brewed. Due to its small size and simple
handling, the Braumeister is ideal for being used at
home.
Brew on your balcony, in the garden or in the kitchen -
and brewing will turn out to be a genuine leisure time
event in a friendly get-together.
The “Braumeister”- developed for the home brewer
The Braumeister has been developed especially for the
hobby and home brewer.
Its particular advantage is the possibility to use it
without any dripping and spilling and at the same time
very comfortably and easily compared to other home
brewing procedures.
The main difference is the effect of washing-out of the
malt not being achieved by an agitator, but by a gentle
reverse pumping of the wort.
The purifying process (separating the washed-out malt
from the wort in the Braumeister) is simply per-formed
by lifting-up and taking out the malt pipe with its
contents and hanging it up in the supporting bow for
dropping off. This process, which normally takes quite a
lot of time and efforts, only lasts a few minutes and can
be realized without any additional recipient in the
Braumeister.
Hop - details the home brewer needs to know
Hop even assumes quite a number of functions in beer production: its bitterns give beer its bitter taste
and the hop oil provides it with its typical aroma. Tanning substances contained in the hop precipitate
proteins and, thus, have a purifying effect. Nevertheless, hop even has foam improving properties and is
considered as a natural “preservation means” of the beer. Hop is a climbing perennial and climbs up to
7 meters high, before the hop harvesting takes place from
the end of August to the middle of September. The brewer is
only interested in the umbel or the cone of the female hop
plant. The umbel itself consists of the steam, the leaves and
– on the inside – countless small, yellowish, sticky small
balls, which make up the so-called “hop flour” or “lupeline”.
Lupeline is the hop’s virtually precious ingredient, for it
carries its aroma and its bitterness. 120 g to 150 g of hop
per hl have to be added to produce a normally hopped beer.
Nevertheless, the amount of hop actually added varies
considerably according to the sort of beer.
A light top-fermented beer for instance requires lesser
amounts of hops to be added, whereas the Pils beer is much
stronger in hops, it needs roughly the double amount of hops
than a light top fermented beer.

3. The Brewing Process Using SPEIDEL´s Braumeister
1 Programming
The Braumeister is programmed for the corresponding brewing
times according to the specific beer recipe. The brewing process is
started upon switching over to the brewing automatics. The control
system guides the user through the various work steps and runs
through the four brewing phases fully automatically.
2 Initial Mashing
The amount of e.g. 23 l of water is filled in and heated up to 38°C
depending on the recipe and the specific procedure. Then the malt
pipe including its filter inserts is put in. 4 to 5 kg of malt is shed
between the filter inserts. The malt pipe is fixed with a bow and a
tie-rod.
3 Mashing / Brewing
The pump switches on. The starch is washed out of the malt by the
water and by the wort cycle that is created. The four brewing phases
are realized according to the control programme entered in the
following order, as an example:
1st phase: protein rest at 55°C - approx. 5 min
2nd phase: maltose rest at 63°C - approx. 30 min
rd
3 phase: saccharification rest at 72°C - approx. 20 min
4th phase: saccharification rest at 78°C - approx. 10 min
4 Purify
A signal tone will be heard upon termination of the four phases*.
Now the purifying process takes place simply and quickly just by
taking out the malt pipe. Let it drain a few minutes and remove it –
if necessary, pour some additional water through the malt to obtain
still a better yield.
5 Boiling Hop
The beer wort is boiled for 80 minutes with an open lid and while
adding hop several times. The vaporized water has to be replaced by
adding fresh brewing water and / or by adding or not adding water,
it is possible to adjust the original extract content subsequently.
The Braumeister’s tie rod serves as a filling level indicator at the
same time. Another signal tone will be heard upon termination of
the boiling phase.
6 Fermenting / Maturing
After the wort boiling process, the wort fermenting temperature is
increased to 15 to 22°C as quickly as possible using a wort cooler, is
mixed with yeast and is fermented in a sufficiently sized cask
(accessory). The well cooled beer can finally be sampled after several
weeks of storage in bottles or in a maturing cask (accessory).
*also five phases may be programmed.
