BREWERY CLEANING AND SANITIZING
GENERAL CLEANING
- Never use water or cleaning solution hotter than 160oF.
- Always were protective clothing when handling and using cleaning chemicals.
- Always protect your eyes from accidental spraying or splashing.
- If cleaning chemicals or solutions are spilled on your clothing - rinse yourself
immediately and thoroughly remove contaminated clothing.
- Do not wait till later. Do not rinse clothes and wear again until thoroughly cleaned.
- Ensure that all manways are sealed and hose clamps tightened before CIP cleaning.
- If more than one person works in the brewery, attach a sign to the manway of
a tank being CIP cleaned saying "DO NOT OPEN MANWAY - CLEANING IN
PROGRESS"
- Store all cleaning materials in the proper place - away from other brewing
ingredients.
- Always rinse cleaned surfaces thoroughly with cold water, especially if iodophor
type sanitizer will be used following a caustic cleaning-rinsing cycle.
- If cleaning solution temperature is greater than ambient, open vessel to atmosphere
after cleaning to allow for air contraction during cool down. (Avoid tank
implosion)
- Keep a can of baking soda nearby to neutralize caustic or acid spills in emergencies.
- Never add water to acid (FAC-106).
- Never open a manway unless you are sure the vessel is depressurized and
is not filled above bottom of manway.
- Valves or sample cocks used to remove product must be cleaned immediately.
- Do not clean interior of closed vessel unless purged of carbon dioxide - carbon
dioxide is heavier than air.
