Brewing Program Zones
Propagate
The zone runs for 12 hours,
during which time your BeerDroid
maintains an optimal temperature
for yeast propagation (growth of
yeast cells). Your BeerDroid will then
transition to the zone.
k During the zone,
will be
displayed on the screen.
k The brew temperature will also
appear on the screen and will
gradually rise or drop to 21°C
(70°F) for and 22°C (72°F)
for programs, or to the
configured temperature
in a program.
k The total elapsed time will show on
the screen, above and .
Ferment
During the zone, the yeast
is busy converting sugars into alcohol
and releasing CO
2
as a by-product.
The duration of the zone is
dependent on many factors, such as,
the recipe, the yeast strain used, and
the fermentation temperature.
k The target temperature during
the zone in the lager
program is pre-set to 12°C
(54°F) and in the program
it is pre-set to 17°C (63°F). In a
program it will be the
temperature you set manually.
k The temperature displayed
on the screen indicates the
current brew temperature.
Note
If your BeerDroid is configured for
Wi-Fi operation, you may adjust
the fermentation temperature
during the zone via the
BrewArt App.
Your BeerDroid will monitor the
fermentation progress of your brew.
When it detects the end of fermentation
it will transition to the zone.
If it does not detect end of fermentation
aer 20 days in the zone, it will
automatically transition to the zone
and report that end of fermentation was
not detected.
