CIP Kit! — NOVAX Edition

Clean your fermenter the easy way. Everything in one box — now with the self-priming NOVAX pump. Clean-in-place, sorted. The BrewTaurus CIP Kit gives you every part you need to clean and sanitize a stainless fermenter without taking it apart: a powerful self-priming pump, a rotating spray head, hoses and all the tri-clamp fittings. Hook it up, let it spin, and spend less time scrubbing and more time brewing.

Self-priming — draws cleaning solution straight from a bucket, no flooding or pre-filling needed 0.34 kW of real muscle: spins the spray head effortlessly, even with longer hose runs Stainless, food-grade construction, handles hot cleaning solutions up to 95 °C Reversible flow — doubles as a serious transfer pump between brew days Clean the whole tank without opening it up · rotating jets cover walls, dome, welds and cone How to CIP — step by step Clean Release the pressure and open the tank safely. Dump the gunk — drain the yeast, trub and hop sludge. First rinse with cold or warm water to flush most of the residue off the walls. Fit the CIP head — return the lid, mount the spray head, connect fittings and hose. Mix the cleaner — 5 L of water at 50–70 °C + 10 g/L Chemipro Wash (or PBW). Connect the pump and recirculate through the spray head — the NOVAX primes itself from the bucket. Let it spin ~25 minutes. The rotating jets do the scrubbing for you. Save the wash — reuse it to clean accessories while it's hot. Quick rinse with clean water. Sanitize Fresh water — 5 L at ~25 °C. Add sanitizer — 3–5 ml/L Chemipro CIP / SAN. Let it spin 5 minutes. Drain the sanitizing solution. Reassemble — seat the lid clamp with a rubber mallet; a blow-off barb makes thread tightening easier. Light pressure to push out any sanitizer remains. Brew-ready. Pro tips Keep the wash hot — cleaning power drops fast as it cools. Sanitize as a separate step, right before you fill. Mounting on a 2" port? Add a 2"→1.5" reducing cone. Safety first. Always release pressure before opening. Wear gloves and eye protection with cleaners/sanitizers. Dispose of chemicals per local guidelines. What you'll add The kit has the hardware. You just supply: a cleaner (Chemipro Wash or PBW), a sanitizer (Chemipro CIP/SAN), and a stainless fermenter with a CIP port. FAQ Will the pump spin the spray head? Yes — the 0.34 kW NOVAX has far more flow and pressure than needed to drive the spray head. As a bonus, it self-primes, so it pulls solution straight out of a bucket without any flooding tricks. What cleaner and ratios? Cleaning: 10 g/L Chemipro Wash or PBW in 50–70 °C water, ~25 min. Sanitizing: 3–5 ml/L Chemipro CIP/SAN in ~25 °C water, ~5 min. Does it fit my fermenter? Connections are 1.5" tri-clamp. If your CIP port is 2", add a 2"→1.5" reducer. NOVAX or the classic kit with the magnetic pump? Both clean identically. Choose the NOVAX edition if you also want a strong self-priming transfer pump in your brewery — one pump, two jobs.
