SEARCHING BY SCORE
To help you choose a beer from the many beers which are available, each of the more than 1,500 beers included in Brew Master has been assigned a specific score by
Tastings, The Beverage Testing Institute. The institute rates beers according to the following cate- gories:
96 to 100 (Superlative)
90 to 96 (Exceptional)
(Highly recommended) 80 to 84 (Recommended) Below 80
(Not recommended)
If you would like to search for beer information according to a beer’s score, use the arrow keys to scroll to SCORE and press ON/ ENTER. You’ll see the following:
98
97
96
95
94
93
Then, to see which beers rate a score of 98, for example, simply select “98.” Use the arrow keys to scroll through the list of beers with this score. Remember that you can use the ABC function as described above to move quickly through the
designation. Your screen will look similar to this:

Brew Master turns itself off if no buttons are pushed for five min- utes. This feature is intended to help save your battery. Simply press the ON/OFF key to wake
