G - Stainless Steel Stand: Upgrade your stand to 304 stainless steel. After the stand is completely TIG welded by our welder, Mike Milem, we use a machine that employs electricity and a phosphoric acid based solution to passivate and remove weld stains. Stainless steel stands are not only very beautiful, they are easier to clean, won't rust, and are built to last longer than you. Every customer we have spoken with who has upgraded to stainless steel has been very glad they did so.

H - SMART: Step Mash Adjusted Recirculation Temperature. While the acronym is a bit of a stretch, it is a smart way of adjusting your mash temperature without having to directly apply flame or use electric heating elements.

The way it works: Liquid from below the screen in the Mashtun is pumped out and through a 25-50’ 1/2” copper coil that is placed in the hot liquor tank, where the water is usually kept around 170 degrees. The wort exiting the coil has been heated very close to 170 degrees. This heated wort is gently put back on top of the grain bed. The continual re-circulation will gently maintain or raise the entire mash temperature without having put a flame directly on the Mashtun (this can cause scorching).
Another advantage of SMART systems is wort clarity. When you are doing recirculation you are using the grain bed as a filter to remove par-ticulate from the recirculating wort. This keeps material out of the Boil Kettle which helps to produce beers with less issues later on in the fermentation process.

SMART systems are only available on the B3-1500, B3-1550, B3-2000, B3-2050 & B3-2100.

I - SMART No Brass: Replaces all brass fittings used in the SMART system with stainless and polysulphone fittings. If this is ordered, you do not need to order option C.

K - Digital Hot Liqour: This incredible option maintains your hot liquor tank within one degree of set temperature. A digital controller monitors temperature through a thermowell that we weld into the Hot-Liquor tank. The controller turns the burner on and off through an auto-mated gas valve that comes complete with pilot light.

One advantage is that you never have to watch the temperature on your hot liquor tank again. The real advantage, however, is when it is used in combination with a SMART system. A SMART system is basically transferring heat from your Hot Liquor to your Mashtun. The Digital Hot Liquor option insures that even though you are taking heat out of your Hot Liquor during a recirculation your temperature never drops more than a degree below set point.

Connectivity To Fermenters Using Counterflow Chillers

All BrewSculptures are designed to allow for a gravity transfer from the boil kettle to glass carboy or plastic bucket fermenter. However, there are situations in which you would want to pump wort from your kettle to your fermenter. #1) you want to use a MoreBeer! Stainless Conical. #2) You wish to utilize the benefits of a counterflow wort chiller or hop back which will generally require that you pump.
Connectivity is the MoreBeer! catch word for the hoses and connector parts that are necessary to pump boiling wort from the kettle to the fermenter.
The flow of wort goes out of the boil kettle at boiling temperatuers, through the pump, through a counterflow wort chiller, exits the counterflow chiller at near tap water temperatures and finally enters your fermenter cool enough to pitch yeast into.
Defining Hot-Side/Cold-Side — The Hot-Side of the connectivity includes the outflow from the boil kettle, the pump, lines, fittings and the entrance of the counter flow chiller. As the wort travels through this portion of the connectivity it is at, or very near boiling, which protects it from contamination. The Cold-Side includes the fitting on the exit of the counterflow chiller and the line between counterflow and fermenter. On the cold side the wort is very susceptible to infection and care must be taken to use connectivty that can be easily and completely sanitized.
Will I need a pump? If you are purchasing the 250, 500, 750, or 1000 BrewSculptures these packages will also have the fittings, tubing, and pump in addition to a connectivity package. All other BrewSculptures come with pumps. Remember that connectivity is only for those brewers who wish to pump wort to a fermenter.
Match your connectivity to your Sculpture —Brass connectivty package should be chosen if your Sculpture came with the stock brass fittings. If you choose the No Brass Option with your BrewSculpture you should also choose the No Brass connectivity package. Our Pro-Series Connectivity option comes with a separate pump and can be added onto any system.
