@Adam: Do you CIP your mash tun? Is it not way too OTT considering the time needed & cost of PBW etc. Its before the boil so a quick hose out & rub of a hot soapy sponge is plenty imo. Different strokes & all that but interested to see why you CIP your mash tun.

@cruiscinlan:  You wont get a supplier from ebay to ship outside Germany anymore. I think they've done a deal with the UK brew shops.  Ebay link anyway: http://goo.gl/gdSwpY

Those are the ones; there's just nothing quite like them.  The translation to English in the Chrome browser said that they were "vacuum" -based which is defintely not true; there's just 1" of insulation between the two layers.


Their restrictions on sales ARE pretty ridiculous.

-You're right; CIPing is pretty unnecessary but the sprayer is also used for sparging, so it was just so easy to CIP; plus I have a bottom draining mash tun which makes CIPing super easy AND because I didn't have a drain in my garage, I had to PUMP all my cleaning water down the driveway through a garden hose to the sewer drain, so I had to use a pump, anyway.   -My scenario is very specific but it was only like 1% extra effort to CIP given my particular setup so I just went for it.

Now I have a stainless sink with a sprayer and I'll probably just do cleanup in the sink and not do CIP cycles any more; I like the CIP cycles, though as they also sanitize the pumps.
