Under Pressure
Procedure for CIP under pressure.
1) Empty serving tank, kegs, whatever.
2) Raise temp controller to desires setting (110F for my application)
3) Hook up cold water hose with TC connector to CIP/Sprayball arm.
4) Rinse tank by turning opening CIP valve to let cold H2O in while simultaneously opening bottom drain valve on server to push rinse water out. You can let the rinse water build up a bit and drain intermittently or try to equalize the drain valve by opening it partially.
5) Shut all valves and switch to hot water, repeat #4 till you hit desired temp.
6) Fill a keg with acid #6 solution and blow it into the tank under pressure.
7) Hook up pump and let recirc under pressure 30 minutes.
8) Shut down pump and open bottom valve on tank to drain acid.
9) repeat #4 to rinse
10) repeat #6 with no rinse sanitizer instead of acid.
11) repeat #7
12) Drain sani (I push it through the serving line for good measure) and fill with beer.
I dont mean to be overly explanatory but this process is tricky until you do it once then its a piece of cake, much like filtering.
