Four years ago, after multiple requests from customers, Grain and Grape designed and manufactured a special combination Keg Washer CIP set. The unit is very compact and designed to clean around 25 kegs per hour and can clean and sanitise fermentation tanks as well as other brewing components including your wort heat exchanger and brewery hoses. Operation is easily achieved by using the manual valves in order for left to right to match to your own cleaning and sanitising regime.
The system has proven really popular. and we’ve made only minor improvements since the original version in 2019 including a more robust heated caustic tank level indicator and moving the 3.6Kw element to the rear. Feedback from our customers has been fantastically good.
Eric at Malt Man Brewing in Bodalla (NSW south coast) has said, "The little keg washer is an absolute lifesaver timewise! It just boils down timelines for me. I just (like to) suit myself and it's a good machine for that. Simon, from Grain and Grape is really, really helpful and easy to speak to. He built the thing, it's his own design. He's experienced, and he knows his stuff. When starting out you sometimes just don't know, and the only way you can know is by asking someone who's been in the game for a while. That's the support you want and it's hard to put a monetary value on that."
The washer is very portable and fits really well in tight spaces and is especially designed for those sites that have no steam and may have limited power, needing only a 240V 15A power outlet plus your CIP pump power. In designing the washer we wanted to make it super reliable, very flexible and robust. Having sold in excess of 25 washers (including one to New Zealand!) we know it works really well for smaller breweries.
We've just completed a new batch. It's hot off the manufacturing line and we're selling them for the special price of $7947.50, 15% off! Contact simon at [email protected] to find out if it will be right for your brewery.
