This document describes the Nutrichef PKBRKTL150 Home Beer Brewing Machine, an all-in-one electric brewing system designed for home brewers. It integrates mashing, lautering, and boiling into a single kettle, making the brewing process more streamlined.
The Nutrichef Home Beer Brewing Machine is designed to facilitate the entire beer brewing process from start to finish. It allows users to heat water for mashing, perform the mashing process, conduct lautering, and boil the wort, all within a single unit. The system is equipped with an easy-to-use brew controller that supports these three main phases of brewing. Each phase involves heating and maintaining specific temperatures, which are crucial for different stages of beer production.
The machine features a brew kettle with a capacity of 30 liters effective volume (about 35 liters total volume), capable of holding up to 8 kgs of malt. Water measurement markings in both liters and gallons are present on the kettle wall. A malt basket with a filter screen is included, designed to be placed inside the brew kettle before adding water and malt. A lifting handle is provided for easy removal of the malt basket. The stainless steel tap has a larger diameter and shorter outlet for quicker liquid flow. A glass lid is included to retain heat during mashing and features an extra hole for a thermometer to monitor mash temperature at the top of the kettle.
The brew controller is a key component, featuring a display that shows the current temperature, target temperature, heating power percentage, and remaining time for the current phase. It also indicates heating status with an animated symbol. The controller supports three pre-programmed brewing programs (PROG I, II, and III) and allows for customization of parameters.
PROG I includes the HEAT (preheating), MASH, and LAUTER phases. PROG II focuses on the BOIL phase. PROG III encompasses all phases: HEAT, MASH, LAUTER, and BOIL.
Users can adjust heating power (in percent), target temperature (in °C or °F), and time (in minutes) for each phase. The controller comes pre-programmed with default values suitable for single-step mashing at 65°C (149°F) with a 60-minute duration for each of the three phases, suitable for most modern, well-modified malts. The system supports multi-step mashing with up to 5 steps.
The controller's step selector allows users to choose specific steps (S-B3) during operation, even running backward from a selected step. Steps with a timer or temperature setting of 0 are automatically skipped. The display provides visual cues, such as a flickering step indicator for the current phase and a barrel symbol to show heating status. Audible alarms signal when target temperatures are reached and when phases are completed.
