Hello Everyone.
My partner and I are opening up a Brewpub in a small city.
We currently have:
3) 55g Blichmann Kettles.
We've been debating the merits of going Electric and have (for the most part) decided using electricity is more efficient.
Not too long ago I built a 2.5g E-BIAB setup using one of P-J's wiring diagrams, I'm very comfortable following a schematic, just not coming up with one.
We have a 200A panel 3-phase power.
Looking to make an E-HERMS System. With the capabilities of heating both the HLT and BK simultaneously.
We are also looking at potentially growing into Blichmann's 1bbl kettle "extensions" which is basically a bottomless kettle that snaps onto the existing 55g kettles to give a gross capacity of 100g.
I've looked at Theelectricbrewery.com and sent Kal an email/scoured forum for answers to my issue. Unfortunately, he was unable to provide me with a solution.
I've also contacted brewmation.com and their panel seemed a little on the pricey side @ ~$5,000, where as Kals is at $2,200.
So if you could help a brewing brother out I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions/diagrams!
Requirements:
Must run off of a 200A panel.
12-18KW power in HLT and BK
3 PID for HLT, MLT, and BK
Thoughts? Suggestions?
