Quick Tip: Mostly every PHE has a factory plate sequence that must be followed after taking it apart and during reassembly. You should inspect the plates, which usually come numbered and you must follow that order. The reason because of this: First plates that come in contact with hot wort usually have a thicker body than those that come in contact with the glycol. Usually hot wort will drive more pressure and heat that has to be overtaken by a thicker plate.
Thanks! I do have a brewday compressed into 12 minutes on my channel, but I will definitely be doing another. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-je80jrknZE4.html
Good job pro , My questions are why you perform CIP ? And how much the pressure or performance before and after cleaning? And If the PHE is working there’s no plan to perform CIP, what possible problems could happen in PHE?
Your carbon steel t8 , you really should order a 1-1/8 ratcheting wrench from Thermaline it will aid in the loosening and tightening With cheater pipe makes the hand tightening easier , always measure first before you loosen write it down so you can return to the exact spot when closing
Very informative video. I saw in a comment that you mentioned a big torpedo filter from Brewers Hardware. That doesn’t seem to be available anymore. Any idea where else it might be found?
I ma late to the party but it seemed like the most of the clogging was in the port area, as seen in 5:50? Did the pre-filter help or did the unit clog again?
Same here, which is why I do it as infrequently as possible. With a good CIP procedure, you shouldn't have to break it down more than once a year or so. As for micro, I don't depend on chemical sanitation, instead relying on heat pasteurization. That way I can be sure the entire stack is sanitary and not worry about the nooks and crannies the chemicals can't reach.
nvm saw your reply. I have taken one apart only once in like 2 years or so of use since it was last taken apart by someone else and it was so clean i felt like i wasted time doing it
