Gen 3 Cooling Coils
Inserting the Cooling Coil Kit is optional and for this reason, the ports for the Cooling Coil will need to be
manually drilled into the lid. To insert the cooling coils:
1.
Drill two 13mm diameter holes through the indentations marked on the lid.
2.
Protrude the Cooling Coil Posts from the bottom of the Apollo lid so that the male threads are facing
upward with the O-rings on the underside.
3.
Secure each post by screwing the Cooling Coil Nut onto the male thread.
4.
The Cooling Coil connects to the Gen 3 Lid by pushing the ends through the Cooling Coil Posts. Adjust
the seating level of the Cooling Coil to finish.
Gen 3 CIP Cleaning Kit
CIP stands for Clean in Place. Our optional Fermenter King Gen 3 Cleaning Kit includes the following
parts to provide brewers with a powerful CIP system for getting their tanks sparkling clean without
scrubbing. The required parts are:
•
½ BSP Female Hose Barb (5717)
•
½ BSP Stainless Steel Spray-ball (9162-2)
•
2 meters of Silicone Tube Hose 12.5mm x 18.5 mm (5496)
•
70W submersible pump (8051-1)
•
15L bucket (8051-5)
Gen 3 Cleaning Kit Operation
1.
Remove all fittings from the tank except the lid and neck ring and place them in the 15L bucket.
2.
The pump comes pre-packed with a black hose barb. This is to be screwed onto the outlet of the
submersible pump. Place the pump in the middle of the bucket.
3.
Attach the CIP Spray-ball to the underside of the lid.
4.
Attach the ½ BSP female hose barb to the top side of the lid.
5.
Link the silicone tubing from the barbed pump outlet to the barb at the top of the fermenter lid.
6.
Fill the tank with 5 litres of warm water at no higher than 50°C and Atomic 15 ABC (9006) or other
recommended cleaner mixed to the recommended dosage.
7.
Seat the bucket right underneath the tank.
8.
Run the pump to drive the cleaning solution through the spray-ball until no fermentation residue is
noticeable on the interior surfaces of the tank.
9.
Rinse with clean water.
Storage
After each fermentation, it is a best practice to clean and sanitise the Apollo fermenter, then store dry.
We recommend pressurising the tank to 10 psi and storing in a cool room away from sunlight. This ensures
that your tank stays free from oxygen and bacteria for up to 2 weeks.
