Hi guys,
Been doing a lot of reading on CIP. Right now I'm just playing, as i could realistically just take the top off my 2BBL BBT and pressure wash it, but I'm trying to learn.
Last eve I kegged and tried to CIP my BBT as we don't have anything more to TF into it right now. I ran five star acid 5 at about 100F for 20+ minutes. pH was 1.9. I run a standard size spray ball on a pump with enough flow to spin it nicely.
At the end there was still a "muck" ring around the previous beer level, and some schmutz in the bottom. The bottom part is my fault cause I used too much volume and there was a pool in the bottom. Everything else was nice and shiny.
Would a caustic be a better choice?? Maybe five star HD #2 caustic?? or another choice??
Thanks!!
