What sort of sprayball are people using in their steam fired boil kettles?
We have a drilled sprayball and we have always had problems getting our boil kettle clean. As production has increased, the problem has gotten worse. The problem is the burnt-on wort around the steam jacket.
We have tried experimenting with various chemical/caustic concentrations, temperature, times, even different chemicals, none of which have worked. We are getting about 250-260 LPM through the sprayball with our cleaning system, and have verified coverage via ribo testing.
Is a typical sprayball for a boil kettle something different that gets more mechanical action? I have been told that chemical coverage/action alone might not be enough to get at burnt wort on a kettle.
Thanks.
