This video will walk you through first time usage tips
as well as setup for your Ss Brew Bucket.
Begin by unboxing your Ss Brew Bucket
We used a standard box cutter.
After you remove your Ss Brew Bucket
set it aside and reach into the bottom of the box.
Pull out the footing of the box
where you'll find the ball valve and the racking hardware
secured to the footing.
The racking hardware includes a ball valve
with two o-rings and a nut,
a racking arm, as well as stopper for your air lock.
After getting the Brew Bucket and all the components removed from the packaging
you'll want to begin by thoroughly cleaning it.
We recommend using warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge.
 
Once your Brew Bucket and components have been thoroughly cleaned
 
follow-up with a fresh water rinse.
Next,
prior to your first use, you should passivate your bucket.
This involves filling the bucket with
the an acid based solution such as StarSan
and allowing it to rest for approximately 20 
minutes
at 70-80 degrees.
After passivation
you'll want to sanitize your bucket prior to first use.
Specifically the remaining parts and fittings.
Remove the lid gasket and sanitize it.
And be sure to sanitize the ball valve, dip tube and o-rings as well.
 
Once all of your parts have been properly sanitized, 
you can move on to assembling your bucket for first use.
Begin by reinstalling your lid gasket.
To do this,
work the gasket in from opposite edges.
If you start with one side and work your
way around
you're likely to end up with some extra
lip hanging out.
 
 
Rotate the lid until you've got the entire
gasket installed again.
 
After the lid gasket is installed,we will
assemble
the ball valve and racking arm. When inserting the racking arm into the ball valve
be sure that it's wet or lubricated.
Next, install an o-ring onto the ball valve.
Next, place the ball valve into the hole in the bucket.
For demonstration purposes we removed the dip tube from the ball valve.
 
After the ball valve been inserted into
the bucket install the inner o-ring.
Secure the ball valve by hand tightening the nut.
 
Reinstall your dip tube. Then replace the lid.
Your bucket's now ready to fill with beer.
 Sweet, glorious beer.
