Testing a Digital System

Your Brew Sculpture’s Digital Control Panel features a built in pre-brew diagnostic program that you can use to ensure that 
all of the electronic systems are functioning correctly prior to each brew. It is highly recommened that you take the few short 
minutes to go through the diagnostic program before you start each brew day.

While the diagnostic mode is a very powerful feature, we also strongly recommend that you go through a short “mock brew” 
before starting out on your first brew. This will ensure that you’re familiar with and practiced at the correct way to hook up 
all the hoses, as well as that all the hoses, welds & threaded fittings are tight and leak-free.

1.  Connect your fuel source and light the pilot light on the Hot Liquor Burner.
2.  With the kettles in place on the Sculpture Frame, fill the Hot Liquor Tank with enough water to raise the float in the 

kettle, and the Mash Tun with enough water to cover the thermowell. Check the outside of the kettle to make sure 
that the threaded fittings are not leaking.

3.  Set your Hot Liquor Tank temperature to 10F over your current ambient temperature. Ensure that burner activates.
4.  Switch the Hot Liquoor Tank temperature setting to be below the current temperature in the kettle. Ensure that 

Burner turns off.

5.  Reset the Hot Liquor Tank temperature to 20F above the current ambient temperature. The Burner will activate.
6.  Connect the hoses for Mash Recirculation per the instructions on page 5, including the steps leading up to turning on 

the Pump

7.  From the Control Panel’s main screen, manually activate Pump 2 for a moment to ensure it is working. Check the 

hoses for leaks, especially at the ends where the quick disconnects are held in place with hose clamps. Check the 
pump head and valves for leaks as well.

8.  Program in two 1 minute mash steps at 10F & 15F above the current water temperature in the Mash Tun and begin 

the mash. Ensure that the Pump activates and stays on as necessary until the Mash Tun temperature rises to set point. 
Conclude the Mash and enter Sparge Mode

9.  Referring to page 6, connect the hoses for Sparging.
10. Set the Sparge Arm in the Mash Tun so that the float is at the lowest possible setting.
11. Open the Mash Tun Ball Valve all the way to drain water until float drops. 
12. Start the sparge timer & pump. Make sure that Pump 2 activates and sends water from the Hot Liquor Tank to the 

Mash Tun. Close the Mash Tun Ball Valve and allow Pump 2 to continue running. Ensure that when water level in the 
Hot Liquor Tank drops below the level of the Hot Liquor Tank float, that the Digital Burner turns off.

13. Stop Sparge timer and enter Boil Mode. 
14. Enter a Boil time of 2 minutes, set Addition 1 to 1 minute, start Boil Timer. Ensure that Alarm functions on screen and 

audibly.

15. Connect the hoses for Whirlpooling as described on pages 6-7. If your set up includes a counter-flow chiller now is 

a great opportunity to make sure you have the connections all down as well as flow control for chilling. If possible, 
practice running the water all the way out to your fermenter just to make sure your hoses are all long enough and 
there are no connection surprises come Brew Day.

16. If everything works, nothing leaks, and you feel ready to brew, Congratulations! Go grab a beer, you’ve worked hard!
