Brew Day –
Cleaning
Follow these steps to speed through the cleanup
process and keep your equipment running
smoothly for your next Brew Day.
24.
Move the hose (
Red
) from the bottom of the
steam condenser piping to the CIP ball. (see
Figure 14
)
25.
Turn the wort pump on and let the CIP ball clean
the inside of the tank for about 5 minutes. Turn
the wort pump off and inspect inside for any areas
that didn’t get cleaned. If there are areas that are
still dirty a quick hand scrub with a brush or more
time with the CIP ball might be needed.
26.
Drain the BK. After the BK is drained, rinse the MT
and BK with hot water.

27.
Step 1-27 should be repeated with clean water to
flush the system of the caustic cleaner.
28.
Steps 1-27 can be repeated with a sanitizer as well.
29.
After CIP’ing the tanks, remove all port fittings to
check for organic material that didn’t get washed
away. Use a brush to scrub the elements and
dissemble the MT Bottom Piping and rinse off any
grain material
30.
Once the system is fully cleaned, place the lids on all
the tanks to avoid dust getting inside and open all
valves so everything can air dry.
