Questions about fermentation | Answer |
| How does the fermentation control work in the BrauEule III? | There is a Schuko plug on the back of the machine. The refrigerator or freezer is connected to this and set to maximum cooling capacity. During the individual fermentation recipe, the cooling device is only switched on when cooling is necessary. The temperature in the fermenting beer is measured by a sensor. Up to 7 target temperatures can be programmed per recipe, individual temperatures can be reached as quickly as you want, so you prevent the yeast from shocking and complex fermentation processes are possible.. |

| At what maximum temperature can I put the wort in the refrigerator? | In the above mentioned Wkb4212 it makes sense from 40 ° C, the wort is then in about 7 hours at the setting temperature for the yeast addition. |
