inherent and ever-present hazard of brewing! Always use protective gloves, long sleeve
shirts, long pants, and protective footwear when brewing.
During operation, and particularly when used as an inline hop infuser in your dispensing
system, you must
never exceed the rated pressure of 40 PSI (275 KPa).
