I have just acquired 4 55 gallon stainless drums. (previous life was maple syrup). I am planning on building a system that will allow me to do double batches to fill a 100 gallon fermentor. I plan to make this system electric.
Here are the questions I have for those with systems of this size:
1. What size fittings, valves and tubing would you suggest?
2. How many 5500w Elements for the boil kettles/ or another type element?
I will be fabricating everything myself. I will be building a PWM circuit to control the kettles and I am not sure how I am going to sparge yet but I will be purchasing two pumps based on what size tubing I will be using.
I have a good Idea what I need, I just want to hear from some people who have brewed on tanks this size what they suggest and what they may have done differently.
Thanks.
