This thread will loosely follow a 1BBL brewery that I am constructing, one of several. Though some of the design specifics are flexible, much of the design and parts list are chosen.
Based on:
(3) Blichmann 55 Gallon Boilermakers
(2) LG 5-MD-HC 1050 GPH Pumps
22,000W of Heating Power (11,000 RIMS and 11,000 BK)
BCS 460 Control
3/4" Plumbing
Rolling 304 SS Stand:
1.5" x 11GA box tubing with mill finish, TIG welded with an HF wash. 84"L x 30"D x 20"H
NEMA 4X Electrical Box with (8) water tight connections.
(4) 500LB EACH 4" Casters
It is a really simple build, no re-inventing the wheel. Simple control interface, no wireless capability, trusted Brutus 10 design and enough power to start a batch while boiling the first. System requirement is 120A, supplied by (2) 60A Spa Panels, each panel powering one half of the system through ONE NEMA 4X box and two separate distribution blocks/circuits.
BCS temp. readouts at the MLT outlet, the RIMS outlet, BK outlet and plate chiller outlet.
It will be capable of boiling one batch while starting another (this is the reason the stand will be rated for nearly 2000lbs)
100 pounds of grain/834 pounds of water/600 pounds of stand
Each 1BBL batch will require about 28kWh, at a cost of $4.20 per session.
33kWh is equal to 112,600 BTUs
With a really efficient gas burner (30%) you would have to burn up 17 POUNDS of propane gas during the same session.
Not to mention the issues with venting all of that CO...
