I have been working on the Brewtroller upgrade to my brewery. If you all recall I decided to also upgrade the plumbing to all stainless steel. The upgrade is about 75% done. Here are some progress pictures. As always, questions and comments are always welcome.

A special thanks to my brother Gary who has been tremendous in helping build the brewery.


Things left to do:

1. Plumb the water to the HLT and Plate Chiller

2. Install S8610U intermittent pilot controllers.

3. Control Panel is built but needs to be painted and installed

4. Bubbler system for volume measurement is built but needs to be installed

5. Wire the brewery

6. Clean and touch up the brew stand

7. Polish Keggles

8. Testing

That is a beautiful piece of equipment. But I have to admit, I feel like a caveman looking at the space shuttle. It's mesmerizingly beautiful, but I have no idea how it all works.

Drop dead sexy. Especially the inline sight glass and tri-clamp RIMS. Well done, sir.

Cheers.

Very nice looking build with the controls layout on the panel underneath and the stainless tubing connecting everything. A suggestion would be to replace the elbows at the bottom outlets of the kettles with tees so you can let trapped air out and not fight pump priming every time you start up.

Great input Kevin! I was pondering adding the vents that Beerthirty is using.

Looks awesome Guy! Mine is set up very similarly, how do you plan to clean piping etc. I was hoping I could just CIP mine but the more I read it sounds as though gunk will build up at the swage-lok fittings. Also, where did you pick up those green pipe hangers? And another question, what are those temp sensors your using? Alright I'm done

The pickup tube air bubble is the main reason for the auto air vents on BeerThirty's rig and why I reworked my mash tun pickup tube to slope up to center of keg bottom. The trapped air is just enough to kill the pump prime when it is fired up, venting the bubble should make the pump fire up without problems. One caution with the auto air vents is when the level in the air vent drops enough the valve opens and lets air back in when pump is pulling on mash bed, pump pulls air through autovent and loses prime.
Nice looking Stauff tubing clamp blocks, the real Pro builder touch.

That is absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to see it in action!

Kevin,

They were a God send and worked out better than I had hoped for.
