1. Remove the large dome nuts from the body of the fermenter. 2. Lay the fermenter gently on its side, using a mat or towel underneath it to avoid scratches. 3. Mount each of the three legs onto the threaded bolts and secure the dome nuts back into place. Ensure that all of the legs are adjusted to the same height. NOTE: Use the extra holes on the leg to adjust the height of your fermenter as shown below. TOP TIPS 1. We recommend dumping dead yeast and dry hops from the dump valve every 2-3 days during fermentation. This prevents the yeast and hops from clogging the valve. 2. Throughout fermentation, the sample valve can be used to collect samples and test the gravity of the beer. To do this, open the ball valve and collect the beer in an appropriate vessel. 3. As well as collecting samples, the valve can also be used to transfer the beer after fermentation. Simply connect a hose (10 mm (0.4”) inner diameter) to the opening and open the sample valve. HOW TO USE 1.� Fill�the�fermenter�using�a�syphon�or�a�counter�flow� wort chiller if you are using a Grainfather brewing system. Ensure that the volume is at least 40 L. 2. Secure the lid and check that the airlock and bung are still tightly in place. 3. Refer to your recipe for your fermentation temperature and keep the SF70 in a place that will remain close to the temperature required. NOTE: The SF70 can be used in conjunction with the Glycol Chiller Adapter (GCA) Kit for more accurate temperature control during fermentation. 4. Your recipe will also determine the amount of time that your beer needs to ferment. Fermentation is complete once SG readings are stable for two consecutive days. ASSEMBLING THE THERMOWELL 1. Remove the nut from the thermowell leaving the silicone o-ring in place. 2. From the inside of the fermenter, feed the thermowell through the thermowell hole on the side of the body. 3. Thread the nut back onto the thermowell from the outside of the fermenter and tighten by hand. ASSEMBLY Before use, we recommend cleaning your SF70 and all of its components using the Grainfather High Performance Cleaner.
