SPARGE & CIP MADE EASY FOR YOUR HOME BREW | THE MALT MILLER HOME BREWING CHANNEL

[@batking911]

Omg, I need the CIP in my life!! Probably sergeant sparge head too!

[@ianjones6849]

Awesome! I guess you could use it on the Brewtools B40 by attaching a small hose to the dip tube inside the kettle then attach the other end of the tube via the barb on CIP assembly....great stuff. I have bought the enzybrew 10 cleaner from you and its brilliant!

[@markpope6162]

The CIP head is brilliant. I use it with a keg cleaner to CIP my Grainfather fermenter. Works a treat! I think the CIP head deserves a promotion. Captain or even Colonel CIP!

[@fokkedeboer2727]

Thanks for yet another fun and useful video! I just purchased both of these this weekend, and I'm eager to try them out, definitely also using your tips. Thanks!

[@themaltmiller8438]

Have fun!

[@paskrell]

I am delighted to see how my tip how to attach the flex arm has actually led to even more creativity. Fantastic job and always a pleasure seeing your videos.

[@themaltmiller8438]

Thanks for the advise on how you managed it, it works a treat!!

Similar nozzles can be printed with a 3D printer.

I've got the CIP head and I love it 🎉

[@YeastFace]

Couldn't get my Corporal CIP to work at first (it kept twisted round), glad I then watched this video as working ok now. Think I had the flow on too high and hadn't shaped the arm very well.

[@liammcdevitt3303]

Great video guys. Will definitely invest in one. I recently listened to Rakey on the pod with the Hop Addition and he mentioned the video with track and advanced hop products. I can't seem to find it? Have you a link? Cheers

[@smassey]

Any thoughts on how you would use sergeant sparge head for the G40?

[@themaltmiller8438]

The most likely solution would be to use a Flexi Arm for the sparge head, to keep it in place over the G40 grain basket

[@WarmHugFermentations]

Any advice on using the Sargeant Sparge Head with a G40, as the lids don't have holes in them? It'd be nice to have a sparge manifold for the G40, like they have for the Brew Tools.

[@themaltmiller8438]

Hey! We've been thinking about this our side too and whilst you cant use the lid like you with with G30, you could use one of the Flexi-Arm's and fit it to your sparge heater. Position this over the grain basket with the sparge head attached and then open the valve, this will hold it in place over the grain bed and as the sides are quite high you wont get sparge water exiting above the grain basket as it also direct s the water in a way that it is facing down

[@WarmHugFermentations]

Aye, I purchased both sizes of the Flexi arms for just such an occasion 🎉 Thanks for getting back to me.

[@neilholder6337]

I've been looking at getting the CIP for my G30 for a while, but always assumed I'd need to the flexi-arm! I'll be adding one to my next order! If I do want to use the flexi-arm on the G30, (say for cleaning a fermenter) does the thread on the arm already match with the one on the G30? Another great video, my only suggestion would be, for cleaning videos such as these, it'd be great to see side-by-side, before and after comparisons. Thanks.

[@themaltmiller8438]

Hey! We tried the flexi-arm on the G30 thread and it doesn't match sadly, the one on the G30 is tapered/to course. Whilst it's a half inch BSP size, the threads don't match up. There might be some way of adapting that but not that we have seen - yet!

[@neilholder6337]

@@themaltmiller8438 thanks for the quick response and confirmation.

[@martinhudson599]

OMG...another cheque book Sunday. Will certainly use Corporal CIP on my Grainfather G30. Now to work out how to adapt to work on a BrewTools Pro 80. Any thoughts? The Sparge head looks a great piece that I will be able to use across the different types of fermenters I have . Keep up the good work chaps!

[@themaltmiller8438]

🤣 - Sorry!! - What about a very short piece of silicone tubing pushed onto the centre pipe of there B80 and then use the included barb fitting on the CIP unit to attached? Our thicker silicone tubing is perfect for it as its more rigid

[@martinhudson599]

@@themaltmiller8438 There’s me thinking it would be far more complex😜😜

[@themaltmiller8438]

I'm sure there will be other more complex solutions but this seems the simplest option - let us know how you get on!

[@martinhudson599]

@@themaltmiller8438 Sorted. I intend to use the 1/2' BSP male to barb from the Keg King Cleaning Kit with a very short length of tube so the is no bend from the tip of centre tube and then connect to the flexi arm.

[@Wyreflyer]

I use the cip with my Brewzilla and it works well. I've just got Enzybrew 10 - what concentration were you using?

[@themaltmiller8438]

For CIP we use 1 to 2% (10g to 20g per Ltr)

[@billybungle1757]

Anybody got a cunning way of attaching the Sergeant Sparge Head to the Grainfather sparge water heater which has the plastic tap? They mentioned converting a GF Sparge heater but not sure if that's the same model (and if so, how)?!

[@themaltmiller8438]

Yep - two options - firstly the conversion we have done is to fit a ball valve tap to the heater by punching a hole in the side on the same level as the current tap or as Stiff has at home, just pushing a length of silicone onto the tap itself. He then has this feeding a small pump which then exits via another length of silicone to a ball valve tap mounted on the wall up high. If you want some photos then drop us an email to [e-mail]

[@reaverman]

Cool gear, but I think it would have been better to feed the flexi arm up through the conical port and not through the top!

[@themaltmiller8438]

Good idea, we will have a play with that option but it might effect the spinning effect

[@adrianreed5464]

Got both of these, the cip is great bit the seargent sparge always gets blocked so has never worked.

[@themaltmiller8438]

Is that for transferring wort? I can see how it might get blocked in that situation - we had the hop filter plate in the G30 for this brew, which makes a big difference in how much matter is in the transferred wort

[@adrianreed5464]

It was when mashing i found it got blocked by small grain particles. Using on a Brewzilla Gen 4. I have used it a few time when transferring wort to the fermenter and it's worked really well a few times but got blocked a few times too!

[@themaltmiller8438]

Ah ok, there's always different opinions on this one but for us we wouldn't use it for re-circulating due to hot side oxidation of wort and colour change

[@neilharper4857]

I could never get the sergeant sparge to work very well at all.

[@themaltmiller8438]

In what setting? For transferring wort or sparging?

[@neilharper4857]

Sparging/recirculation on a brewzilla

[@davec4955]

I've been using both of these for a while, but I need to get those John guest fittings for the sergeant sparge head to run my next brew into the fermenter 🍻🍻

What does CIP stand for?

Clean in Place

Sparge head wouldn't thread straight on the nut resulting in stripped thread! 👎🏻

Ah no! Sorry to head that, did you buy it from us? If so drop us and email and we will see what we can do
