Setting Up Your
Single-Tier BrewSculpture
With all of the included items and aforementioned tools in front of you, you’re ready to setup your BrewSculpture.
These instructions are for the basic setup of all Single-Tier BrewSculptures. There will be an extended list of
setup parts and instructions for our Digital Single-Tier BrewSculptures at the bottom of this section. Let’s start
at the right of the BrewSculpture, and work our way to the left…
The far right burner location is going to be where we position the hot liquor tank. The hot liquor tank is the
vessel that will heat and store your sparge water, which is used to rinse all of the sugars from the grains in
the mash tun, and into the boil kettle after you’ve finished mashing. This kettle will be placed on the bottom
burner tier, and will need five items installed on it. These are: A ball valve and quick disconnect on the bottom
coupler, a stainless steel maximizer on the inside of that bottom coupler, a sight gauge adapter to the coupler
on the side of the kettle, the sight gauge will install in this adapter’s small 1/8" hole, and last, but not least,
your 3" Face x 2" Probe thermometer. You’ll also need to install the heat exchanger in the hot liquor tank prior
to re-circulating your mash and sparging.
The middle burner location is where you’ll position your mash tun. Your mash tun is where all of the grains
will be during the mashing and sparging process, and will receive five things during setup: A ball valve and quick
disconnect combination, a 3" Face x 6" Probe (the probe will protrude into the grain bed), the perforated false
bottom screen, and a stainless steel maximizer. First, install the ball valve after wrapping plumber’s tape on the
bottom coupler. Next, screw the stainless steel maximizer into the inside of the bottom coupler, with the bend
in the tube aimed down toward the bottom of the kettle. With this in place, take the perforated false bottom
screen, and insert it into the kettle with the single-handle side facing upward. It is important that this rests
flat on the bottom, with minimal gapping between the screen and the sides of the kettle. Once this is in place,
we’re ready to screw the thermometer into the top coupler using 3–4 wraps of plumber’s tape. We’ll attach the
stainless steel sparge arm assembly to the side of the mash tun after we’ve doughed-in.
The left burner location is going to be where your boil kettle goes. You’ll be able to tell your boil kettle and
mash tun apart from the hot liquor tank, as the boil kettle will have two MPT ports in the kettle. With this
kettle in front of you, we’ll want to install four things: Two ball valves and quick disconnects, the 3" Face x 2"
Probe thermometer, and the stainless steel elbow. One ball valve will thread on to the bottom coupler (using
3–4 wraps of plumber’s tape on the kettle’s male threads), the thermometer will thread into the top coupler
(also with 3–4 wraps of plumber’s tape on the thermometer’s male threads), and the elbow will thread into the
inside of the bottom coupler’s threads, inside the kettle (no plumbers tape required - if it leaks it will just be
leaking inside the kettle). The second ball valve will install on your whirlpool coupler, and the ½" MPT x 3/8"
Barb elbow will install to the inside of this coupler, facing sideways.
Your March Pump assemblies should come with mounting brackets pre-mounted to the frame. To install your
March Pumps, simply slide the pumps’ mounting plate into the BrewSculpture-mounted bracket. Your pump
should be installed so the "inlet" faces down towards the ground and the pump "outlet" faces up.
Note:
The
pump outlet will be labeled on your pump head with the word "out".
The casters and control panel (not a standard option) should come pre-mounted. If these are not included
or installed, please call our customer service department.
