- We're back with some new natty inventions from our friends over at @KegLand again, both designed to make your home brewing experience even easier!! This time we're looking at how you can simplify both sparging & cleaning your brewery equipment by using the Low Volume CIP Rotor and also Sergeant Sparge Head! These little devices make brewday that little bit easier - at very little cost! Plus, due to their design you can deploy them in other situations around your home brewery - which we're diving into in some detail!

I am delighted to see how my tip how to attach the flex arm has actually led to even more creativity. Fantastic job and always a pleasure seeing your videos.
Thanks for the advise on how you managed it, it works a treat!!
Thanks for yet another fun and useful video! I just purchased both of these this weekend, and I'm eager to try them out, definitely also using your tips. Thanks!
Have fun!
Couldn't get my Corporal CIP to work at first (it kept twisted round), glad I then watched this video as working ok now. Think I had the flow on too high and hadn't shaped the arm very well.
The CIP head is brilliant. I use it with a keg cleaner to CIP my Grainfather fermenter. Works a treat! I think the CIP head deserves a promotion. Captain or even Colonel CIP!
🤣
I've got the CIP head and I love it 🎉
Great video guys. Will definitely invest in one. I recently listened to Rakey on the pod with the Hop Addition and he mentioned the video with track and advanced hop products. I can't seem to find it? Have you a link? Cheers
I've been looking at getting the CIP for my G30 for a while, but always assumed I'd need to the flexi-arm! I'll be adding one to my next order! If I do want to use the flexi-arm on the G30, (say for cleaning a fermenter) does the thread on the arm already match with the one on the G30? Another great video, my only suggestion would be, for cleaning videos such as these, it'd be great to see side-by-side, before and after comparisons. Thanks.
Hey! We tried the flexi-arm on the G30 thread and it doesn't match sadly, the one on the G30 is tapered/to course. Whilst it's a half inch BSP size, the threads don't match up. There might be some way of adapting that but not that we have seen - yet!
@@themaltmiller8438 thanks for the quick response and confirmation.
OMG...another cheque book Sunday. Will certainly use Corporal CIP on my Grainfather G30. Now to work out how to adapt to work on a BrewTools Pro 80. Any thoughts? The Sparge head looks a great piece that I will be able to use across the different types of fermenters I have . Keep up the good work chaps!
🤣 - Sorry!! - What about a very short piece of silicone tubing pushed onto the centre pipe of there B80 and then use the included barb fitting on the CIP unit to attached? Our thicker silicone tubing is perfect for it as its more rigid
@@themaltmiller8438 There’s me thinking it would be far more complex😜😜
I'm sure there will be other more complex solutions but this seems the simplest option - let us know how you get on!
@@themaltmiller8438 Sorted. I intend to use the 1/2' BSP male to barb from the Keg King Cleaning Kit with a very short length of tube so the is no bend from the tip of centre tube and then connect to the flexi arm.
Any thoughts on how you would use sergeant sparge head for the G40?
The most likely solution would be to use a Flexi Arm for the sparge head, to keep it in place over the G40 grain basket
I use the cip with my Brewzilla and it works well. I've just got Enzybrew 10 - what concentration were you using?
For CIP we use 1 to 2% (10g to 20g per Ltr)
Anybody got a cunning way of attaching the Sergeant Sparge Head to the Grainfather sparge water heater which has the plastic tap? They mentioned converting a GF Sparge heater but not sure if that's the same model (and if so, how)?!
Yep - two options - firstly the conversion we have done is to fit a ball valve tap to the heater by punching a hole in the side on the same level as the current tap or as Stiff has at home, just pushing a length of silicone onto the tap itself. He then has this feeding a small pump which then exits via another length of silicone to a ball valve tap mounted on the wall up high. If you want some photos then drop us an email to hello@themaltmiller.co.uk
I've been using both of these for a while, but I need to get those John guest fittings for the sergeant sparge head to run my next brew into the fermenter 🍻🍻
Cool gear, but I think it would have been better to feed the flexi arm up through the conical port and not through the top!
Good idea, we will have a play with that option but it might effect the spinning effect
I could never get the sergeant sparge to work very well at all.
In what setting? For transferring wort or sparging?
Got both of these, the cip is great bit the seargent sparge always gets blocked so has never worked.
Is that for transferring wort? I can see how it might get blocked in that situation - we had the hop filter plate in the G30 for this brew, which makes a big difference in how much matter is in the transferred wort
It was when mashing i found it got blocked by small grain particles. Using on a Brewzilla Gen 4.
I have used it a few time when transferring wort to the fermenter and it's worked really well a few times but got blocked a few times too!
Ah ok, there's always different opinions on this one but for us we wouldn't use it for re-circulating due to hot side oxidation of wort and colour change
it is probably only worth the investment if you have a disability. Those spray thingys do not have any mechanical effect in your cleaning regime. Scrubbing will be cheaper and more effective as well as shorter
What does CIP stand for?
Clean in Place
@@Wyreflyer cheers mate!
