How the process works
- Filling: The Yeast-Booster can fill itself automatically with the starting volume of water.
- Heating: The starting volume is heated to the starting temperature. When it is reached, the display and a flashing light signal that the dry yeast can be added. An audible signal is optional.
- Fermentation: This is the phase where the cells multiply and regenerate. The mixture is gently kept in motion, and wort or must from the target tank is pumped in every 15 minutes as nutrition. Oxygen is added at the same time. The mixture is gradually cooled to the temperature of the target tank.
- Emptying: The yeast mixture is pumped into the target tank, and the volume in litres is shown on the display.
- Cleaning: Water is pumped in several steps through all parts that have been in contact with the yeast mixture, such as valves, pump and hose.
