The pilot system arrived to the brewery today.

Pretty much done with the welding now. Time to get the welds clean and then mount the electronics. SHvanBommel It's called "Brygghus 19" (brewhouse 19)

Going bigger and stainless. A lot of things happened during the last years. For one, I together with a friend has started a commercial brewery in Sweden. There we brew quite big batches (4000 liter fermentors 1000+ US Gallon) My old system has served us well for creating prototypes, but...

It has served me well. :) If you go for plastic, get a transparent type as much of the joy is to see wort clarity when using a recirculating system like RIMS or HERMS.

Know this is an ancient post but as I just coded a little device that does calculations for dissolved CO2 here are the formulas that I use (Based on Zahm Nagels chart) Temp - Formula 30 F 0,1097936017X+1,7052941176 31 F 0,1074406605x+1,6720915033 32 F 0,104747162x+1,640575163 33 F...

A year back or so, two of my co workers and I decided to go a bit bigger than our homebrewing systems. Now our new "sculpture" is produced and November 15 it will be on a ship to Sweden where we have started a new microbrewery. We do have some more pictures on our facebook page...

Quick and easy build. About 2 years now, still working great.

Post brewing and pre cleaning pics from my brewery.

Hop leafs and grain husks tend to find its way to places in the pump house where you don't want them to be or get stuck. That was something that I noticed after inspecting my pumps and cleaning the pump houses a few months back. Even after cleaning with CIP:s like PBW that I let...

Couldn't find my stir bars so I threw in a stack of neodym magnets instead (which is not optimal since those magnets are quite strong and slows down the fan). But I was eager to see it in operation so here we go.

This is the latest addition to the brewery...or well the lab part of the brewery. A magnetic stir plate. I was going to make a LM350 based regulator using a schematics like this: But since I had a RPM regulator that I didn't use for my PC I picked that one instead. So it was a...

Well actually I don't drink that much Carls...but as I passed through Denmark one day I decided to get a couple of cases as I could re-use the bottles. :)

As I only have 5 operational kegs, I sometimes need to bottle beer to free up kegs. But cleaning bottles I find quite boring. So I decided to put together a cheap, ugly dish washer for bottles last Sunday. The principle is simple and I have seen it done by others on different forums as...

galvanic corrosion? Do a search in the forum and see if this matches what you are experiences.

Today since the weather was not the best I decided to spend some time in the brewery working with the equipment. Have seen so many shiny stainless creations on here, and since I don't have that much stainless in my system, the biggest piece I have got pimped. Here is a "before" shot (boiler to...
