CIP kit!

Clean your fermenter the easy way. Everything in one box.

Clean-in-place, sorted. The BrewTaurus CIP Kit gives you every part you need to clean and sanitize a stainless fermenter without taking it apart: a powerful pump, a rotating spray head, hoses and all the tri-clamp fittings. Hook it up, let it spin, and spend less time scrubbing and more time brewing.

What's in the box

• 1× 65W High-Temperature Magnetic Pump (MP-40RM)
• 1× 1.5" Rotating CIP Spray Head
• 2× 2 m silicone hose (10 × 15 mm)
• 2× 1.5" Tri-clamp DN15 (½") female
• 4× 1.5" TC ½" quick-connect fitting
• 4× 1.5" Tri-clamp gasket
• 4× 1.5" Band clamp
• 4× ½" female quick disconnect (bar OD 13.1)

Why a CIP kit?

• Clean the whole tank without opening it up
• Rotating jets cover walls, dome, welds and cone
• The 65W pump has the muscle to actually spin the head (a light transfer pump won't)
• Reuse your cleaning solution across multiple vessels
• Repeatable, hands-off results — batch after batch

How to CIP — step by step

Clean

1. Release the pressure and open the tank safely.
2. Dump the gunk — drain the yeast, trub and hop sludge.
3. First rinse with cold or warm water to flush most of the residue off the walls.
4. Fit the CIP head — return the lid, mount the spray head, connect fittings and hose.
5. Mix the cleaner — 5 L of water at 50–70 °C + 10 g/L Chemipro Wash (or PBW).
6. Connect the pump and recirculate through the spray head.
7. Let it spin ~25 minutes. The rotating jets do the scrubbing for you.
8. Save the wash — reuse it to clean accessories while it's hot.
9. Quick rinse with clean water.

Sanitize

1. Fresh water — 5 L at ~25 °C.
2. Add sanitizer — 3–5 ml/L Chemipro CIP / SAN.
3. Let it spin 5 minutes.
4. Drain the sanitizing solution.
5. Reassemble — seat the lid clamp with a rubber mallet; a blow-off barb makes thread tightening easier.
6. Light pressure to push out any sanitizer remains. Brew-ready.

Pro tips
Keep the wash hot — cleaning power drops fast as it cools. Sanitize as a separate step, right before you fill. Mounting on a 2" port? Add a 2"→1.5" reducing cone.

Safety first. Always release pressure before opening. Wear gloves and eye protection with cleaners/sanitizers. Dispose of chemicals per local guidelines.

What you'll add

The kit has the hardware. You just supply: a cleaner (Chemipro Wash or PBW), a sanitizer (Chemipro CIP/SAN), and a stainless fermenter with a CIP port.

FAQ

Will the pump spin the spray head?
Yes — that's why the kit ships with the 65W pump. A light transfer pump (like the 15R) doesn't have the flow and pressure to drive a spray head.

What cleaner and ratios?
Cleaning: 10 g/L Chemipro Wash or PBW in 50–70 °C water, ~25 min. Sanitizing: 3–5 ml/L Chemipro CIP/SAN in ~25 °C water, ~5 min.

Does it fit my fermenter?
Connections are 1.5" tri-clamp. If your CIP port is 2", add a 2"→1.5" reducer.
