Brew Day –
Cleaning (CIP)
1.
Drain any wort left in your MT and hop material
out of your BK.
2.
Scoop or dump your grain out of the MT..
3.
Rinse the MT and BK with a hose or water source.
4.
Check that the HLT is holding at CIP temp of 150F.
5.
Be sure to turn off your HLT element before
starting your CIP.
6.
Connect a 4 ft hose from the HLT drain port to the
inlet of the wort pump.
7.
Connect a 6 ft hose from the outlet of the wort
pump to the top recirculation port of the MT. (see
Figure 7
)
8.
Open the valves and turn on the wort pump until
all the water from HLT is transferred into the MT
(you don’t need to clean HLT or water pump since
it was only holding water during the brew.)
Follow these steps to speed through the cleanup process and keep
your equipment running smoothly for your next Brew Day.
9.
Close all the valves and turn off the wort pump.
10.
Add your brewery wash chemicals to your MT.
11.
Scrub the MT Down to remove any grain material
from the sides of the kettle.
12.
Disconnect the hose connected to the MT
recirculation port, and connect it to the bottom
HERMS Coil port.
13.
Move the hose that was connected to the HLT drain
port to connect the top HERMS Coil port and the
MT recirculation port.
14.
Add a 6 ft hose to connect the MT drain port and
the wort pump inlet. (see
Figure 8
)
15.
Open all the valves and turn on the wort pump.
16.
Close and open all of the valves in this recirculation
flow, including the air bleed valve on the pump, as
the brewery wash is running through them. This
helps clean the valve parts.
