Can we please break down this brewery picture attached?

I consider myself pretty knowledgable when it comes to brewing equipment and brewhouses, but i'm confused with this one. I'm having trouble posting pics and i understand i can upload them from photobucket, etc....

anyways, can someone take a look at the link and upload a pic of the complete brewery, with arrow/labels/text boxes explaining what each item is/does.

If anyone has anything else to add, maybe uploading the original pic with your input would be best.

Hopefully, myself, as well as others, can learn a little bit more and get a good discussion going.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Makes beer.

 

Correction, makes a lot of beer.

 

Meh, it's the same as this....only shinier.

Labatt "Pioneer" Brewery.

Really shinier.

 

for instance:

based off the picture, looks to be BK on left, HLT in middle (double capacity), and Mash/lauter on right. what are the small 5 gal pots on the left and right? is the one on the right used for vaurloff where the wort pools there, fill, then gets pumped back through the top?

is the one on the left a chiller of some sort, with a coil in it? and beers circulates through prior to fermenter?

 

lol at small 5 gallon pots those are likely 20/30/40/50 gallon pots probably close to a 55 gallon oil drum I'd be willing to bet

ha you're def right. size is decieving...probly like 30-40 gallons

 

If you "break it down" and send it to me I'd be happy to explain

 

Man, that's not that crazy of a price for that sized system. Look at Premier Stainless' client list too, pretty impressive. Alesmith, Pizza Port, Cigar City, and the list goes on.

 

Could one of those 5-55 gallon pots on the bottom be a hop back??

 

And the one on the right near the MLT is probably a grant.

 

hot liquor on the left, boil kettle in the middle, mash tun on the right. Smaller object on the left is most likely a hop back. smaller object on the right is most likely a Grant. If you look closely under the left hand side of the stand is the chiller. The rest is just plumbing and control boxes.
