Fellow brewers:
I'm ready to pony up some dough and build a nicer brew system. I've talked to a couple of folks and worked up some sketches. Those of you guys who have build a system of your own, if you could take a look at this design and tell me what won't work, how to improve or simplify the design, I would be forever in your debt. Some of the goals for the system were:
Those are just a few... I'm having some doubts about the plumbing schematics, perhaps there's an easier way with fewer valves, loops, etc.. let me know what you think!
I'm ready to pony up some dough and build a nicer brew system. I've talked to a couple of folks and worked up some sketches. Those of you guys who have build a system of your own, if you could take a look at this design and tell me what won't work, how to improve or simplify the design, I would be forever in your debt. Some of the goals for the system were:
- smaller footprint (2 vessel width)
- simplicity (1 burner, 1 pump)
- repeatability (PID+heat exchanger keep temps stable) in mashtun
- ability to fly sparge for good efficiency
Those are just a few... I'm having some doubts about the plumbing schematics, perhaps there's an easier way with fewer valves, loops, etc.. let me know what you think!
