Whirlpool beersmith 34/18/2024 ![]() ![]() We only saw the element come on once in holding the 148F for 45 min, then it switched to going to mashout at 168F. Below is a picture of the siphon cone going too fast and spilling over and too slow and not turning over the grain fast enough. We watched the stainless siphon cone and adjusted the flow to have it hold about midway up the outside of the fitting for this batch. The Speed of liquid through the pump/grain was much too fast so we slowed it down with the ball valve on the return arm. We setup the r eturn line with silicon tubing going through the hole in the lid, switched off the 1000w element and hit Play on the control panel. We then took off the black plug and put the optional screen on top of the mash, and put on the stainless siphon cone with the cone side facing up. Mashing in took about 5 min and our temp dropped to 149F. Suggestion, a skinny mash paddle or a large ss spoon works well as you have a pipe in the center of the mash pipe to stir around We double checked that the black silicon plug was over the pipe before pouring in a portion of the grain and started stirring it up. ![]() With water at 158F and the system in Pause (play / pause button which stops heaters and pump) we got ready to dough in the grain. S3 - S6 doesn't matter as long as time is 0:00 so it skips For this guide lets just say it's programmed, it would look like this. This recipe is simple and we could either run it in Manual or Auto as we just did a single infusion mash with a mash out. ![]() Things to note - MFG suggests to only run 500w burner when grain is in From 68F to 158F took about an hour or so (will use delayed start in future to make it that much easier) The heater switches both lite up and we could see it start to rise in temp pretty quickly. We set it to heat in manual mode, set temp for 10f over desired mash temp (148F + 10 = 158F) and turned on both heaters (500w+1500w) and hit Play button. If you want to learn more about water checkout our articles on water We put in the malt pipe and put the black plug over the pipe and we filled the cleaned unit with 6.4 gallons of filtered and treated water We wanted a 1.3 quarts of water per lb of grain ratioġ3.5lb grains x 1.3= 17.55 quarts divided by 4 to get 4.4 gallons of water However if you want you can do either a BIAB method or Batch sparging. On our batch we wanted to do a sparging technique we were used to and have a digiboil to heat extra water in so we did that and did our water calculations as follows. When cleaning it we figured out there is approximately just under 2 gallons of dead space below the bottom screen of the mash screen in malt pipe. Have any feedback on this article?
