I have strange problem when transferring from FV to BBT: as BBT has sigh glass connected to CIP arm, beer crosses from sparge arm to CIP arm and fills it.
This is pretty PITA since when I connect CO2 hose on BBT, beer from CIP arm flows into the hose.
Method of FV-BBT transfer I use:
CO2 (11 psi) is connected to FV head; BBT is purged and pressurized at 11 psi; connect hose from FV racking arm to bottom of BBT; open valves and slowly open BBT CIP arm valve to release CO2.
After transfer is almost over, I closed BBT CIP arm valve (CO2 release) and suddenly beer flows in CIP arm. I pressurized BBT with CO2 and beer returned to sight glass, but now it keeps flowing into CIP arm when I open valve to release CO2.
I tried to figure out what causes this, it has to do something with low pressure in arm which then pulls beer from sigh glass, but I'm not sure how to prevent it..
