Hi there,
we're planning to build a commercial microbrewery here in the Czech Republic, Europe. One thing we realized is we don't really want to spend all day brewing beer (because currently our homebrewing double decoction brew process takes about 9 hours) so we're thinking of buying BrewTroller hardware to create a one-touch brewery.
We've also looked at the BCS-460, I personally like it more for it's simplicity but since it doesn't support volume monitoring, it's a no-go.
Our system will be a classical 2 vessel system (probably 200-300 liters, 50-80 gallons), direct heated using two natural gas burners. One of the vessels will feature a false bottom for lautering and some hops filtration system. There will be some plate chiller to chill the finished beer. We want to automatize everything after we put the grains in. The lautering and chilling process could be manual. We will be brewing primarily lagers (it's a bit hard to sell an ale to an average beer drinker) so the decoction mashing is a must have.
The BrewTroller documentation mostly features only RIMS or HERMS setups which may be too complicated and expensive with combination of the decoction mashing need. So my question is: How hard is to modify the settings to make the BrewTroller control a classical 2-vessel system?
Thanks for your answers and cheers!
