I was doing a similar method for my Brewzilla 3.1. Happy to see I wasn't too far off the mark. I learned a couple of new tricks. Thanks for the content!

Great video! Instead of using water from the tap to clean, I'll collect the first 5 gallons of hot water pulled through the immersion chiller. I'll recirc @ 60C for 30 mins and I find it cleans things quite nicely!

thanks for this! so you guys use cold water with PBW? I usually heat the water up with PBW.... i thought it needed to be hot....
@graintoglass Жыл бұрын
Yes I used hot tap water in this video. Our tap water here is very hot, around 140f. Cheers

@@graintoglass Once I've done a good initial rinse to get most of the solids out, I add PBW to about 3-4 gal, heat to strike temp and recirc for about 1/2 hour. I'm always amazed at the stuff the hot PBW will coax out of the shadows!

Any advice for cleaning a new brew system before a first run? Sláinte 🇮🇪

After using PBW for cleaning, do you have to use sanstar to sanitize before brewing again with your brewzilla?
@graintoglass 6 ай бұрын
I personally don't since at that point it's clean and you will be boiling in it which should kill any bacteria that may be present. Cheers

Hi do you rinse with cold water or hot water ?

Can you use starsan instead of PBW
@graintoglass Жыл бұрын
Hi, starsan is a great sanitizer but is not good for cleaning like PBW is. Cheers

How about the malt tube ? The outside you didnt rinse ?

Hi, it's the first thing I mention cleaning around 15 seconds in. I just spray it off with hot water and then take a sponge or cloth to remove any remaining grains. Cheers

OK... I came to this video for cleaning tips, but I am distracted by the song in the back ground. Who is the artist?

Do you really need to recirculate PBW for 30 minutes? Seems like a long time and an unnecessary addition to a brewday. Most of us bought this system to shorten the brewday.
@graintoglass 7 ай бұрын
Five Star recommends PBW be used for 25-35 minutes. You could probably get away with less time but it's little to no effort and insures your system pump and recirculation arm is clean. Cheers
