The Control
The control panel is located directly below the mash plan. The mashing process is operated with five buttons: Power, Play, Pause, Previous, Next.
Power button
Starts or stops the mash process. If PID AutoTune is enabled for a kettle, the same button starts/stops AutoTune.
Play button
Play has two functions:
Start rest timer for current step, independent of actual temperature.
Continue with next step when
autonextis disabled (button shown in red).
Example: In a boil step, actual temperature may stay below target (for example 98.5°C vs 100°C). Play lets you start timing manually when boiling is already sufficient.
Pause button
Pause behavior depends on process phase.
During heating to next rest
editing controls become visible again
heating continues toward target
pause indicator turns red
This is useful if you need to adjust mash steps while heating.
During active rest
rest timer pauses
temperature control stays active
heating remains controlled around the setpoint
Pause time is added to total rest duration.
Previous button
Jumps to previous mash step. If process was stopped, the current rest timer is reset and starts again.
Next button
Jumps to next mash step. If current step is the last one, mash process ends.
Collapse button
Shows/hides the mash plan table.
The collapse button remains available during brewing. Edit buttons are hidden once brewing starts.
