Title: HOSE CIP
Hose CIP
All hoses must be rinsed with water immediately after use and rolled out to remove any
liquid. Hoses must be stored such that the fittings are not on the floor. The outside
surface of hoses must also be kept clean.
Plant water hoses should be inspected for fraying every 6 months. Ends may be cut if
excessive fraying exists and the general sanitation of the hose appears acceptable. If
ends are frayed and sanitation is poor, the hose should be discarded and replaced.
All process hoses must be CIPd according to the following schedule as a minimum
recommendation. Certain areas may require more frequent CIP to maintain proper
sanitation standards.
Starting Cellar: Daily. This includes wort pumping hoses as well
as yeast recovery lines.
Alpha Cellar: Weekly
Chip Cellars: Weekly
Schoene and Finishing Cellars: Monthly
A numbering system or identifying mark as well as accurate records should exist to
ensure all hoses are included when hose CIP takes place.
Temperatures must not exceed hose manufacturer specifications. Purple Snake,
Continental and Goodall hoses must not be exposed to temperatures greater than 140oF.
All process hoses CIP'd at temperatures higher than 100oF must have the coupling bands
welded together; however, all hoses should be equipped with these bands for the
purpose of general safety. Any hoses used for CIP ONLY (not for beer or any related
product) must have a pressed fitting or a pin installed through the band, ferrule and hose
to ensure safe CIP operation.

Procedure #: 73709
Prior to cleaning, hose gaskets should be removed and the hose fitting and gasket should
be hand-cleaned with sulfamic acid. The cleaned gasket should be replaced in the hose
fitting prior to CIP. After CIP, the gasket should be removed again. The hose nut and
gasket should be thoroughly rinsed with hyamine and then reassembled before using.
New hoses should be CIPd prior to use.
