should be removed for Manual Brewing using Brew Bags.

Pro require a Keg Adapter Kit. Note: No Keg will be used
during brewing, but will be used at the end to hold wort for
fermentation.
5. Place the hops for each hops boil stage into a separate
Adjunct Brew Bag and tie the top securely, set the Adjunct
Brew Bags aside for later. You should have one bag per boil
stage.
6. Place all of the grain into the Grain Brew Bag. Tie the top
securely.

port (see illustration). This will prevent the Grain Brew Bag
from clogging the drain port.
