OPERATION & CLEANING MANUAL

1.5″ Tri-Clamp Ball Valve – 3-Piece with 1″ Port

Overview

This tri-clamp ball valve is built for fine control over flow rates in brewing systems — especially during mashing and lautering. Its 1″ full-bore port allows unimpeded flow, while the lever handle enables smooth micro-adjustments ideal for Vorlaufing.

The 3-piece design allows for full disassembly, making cleaning and maintenance straightforward. Tri-clamp ends ensure secure, sanitary integration with any 1.5″ brewing hardware.

Installation

  1. Sanitize the valve, gaskets, and tri-clamp connections prior to installation.
  2. Mount the valve between two tri-clamp ferrules using a 1.5″ tri-clamp and silicone gasket.
  3. Ensure the handle operates smoothly without sticking.
  4. Orient the valve for easy access to the handle during operation.

⚠️ Always verify that all connections are tight and leak-free before introducing hot liquid.

🔁 Operation

  • Rotate the lever to open or restrict flow.
  • For Vorlauf or mash recirculation, use partial openings to fine-tune flow rate.
  • The full-bore port allows unrestricted flow when fully open.
  • Use slow, deliberate movements for micro-adjustments during critical flow phases.

🧼 Cleaning & Maintenance

  • Disassemble the valve after each use by removing the tri-clamps and separating the body.
  • Use a soft brush to clean all internal surfaces with brewery-safe cleaner (e.g. PBW).
  • Rinse thoroughly with hot water.
  • Inspect ball, seals, and internal seats for residue or wear.
  • Sanitize before next use and reassemble using clean tri-clamp gaskets.

✅ Periodic lubrication of the stem with food-grade lubricant may help preserve smooth operation.

FOUNDER STORY

Hi, I’m Steven, founder and CEO of Bräu Supply.

Like many of you, I started brewing because I was obsessed with crafting beer that wasn’t just good—but exceptional. What I quickly realized was that most homebrewing systems were either too clunky, too limiting, or simply couldn’t deliver the kind of precision I was after. So, I set out to solve that.

My mission was simple - Build the most advanced, fully customizable brewing system for serious homebrewers.
Something reliable, compact, built to last for decades—and most importantly, capable of producing ridiculously delicious, consistent, high-quality beer every single time.

That mission led to years of prototyping, testing dozens of materials and configurations, and working with a growing community of brewers. The result? Unibräu—our flagship all-in-one brewing system.

Launched from our 2017 Kickstarter campaign, Unibräu became the world’s first countertop electric brewing system, designed for both beginners and seasoned brewers. Whether you're brewing from your kitchen, garage, basement, or backyard, it fits seamlessly into your life while delivering commercial-grade results.

With Unibräu, everything just clicks—from heating to chilling, every step is streamlined into an intuitive six-step process. You’re in full control, from grain to glass.

In 2023, The Spruce voted Unibräu the Best Electric Homebrewing System, and honestly, I couldn’t agree more.

Whether you're just getting started or you're already deep into your brewing journey, I promise you this:
Once you brew with Unibräu, there’s no going back.

It’s not just a brewing system. It’s the ultimate brewing experience—start to finish.
