I've attached an image of what I have so far. Let me know what you think. I'm open to any suggestions you might have. I may be able to design a beer, but I just don't think I have what it takes to design a space in which to create said beer. (lol) In addition, I don't think 12x16 is large...

Yes, technically, I could brew on the same table on which food is served, but wasn't really planning on serving food from the brew shed. Yes, technically, I could get away with a single-vessel sink, but would prefer the traditional 3-vessel (wash, rinse, sanitize). Yes, with the 7 foot...

Located in Oregon (zone 6a/6b). We do get snow and have seen down to -40, but the shed will be well insulated and have it's own HVAC, so temperature (hot or cold) won't be a concern. Thanks again.

So, I've finally pestered the wife enough to where she's finally given in and is allowing me to build the brew shed / bar in the back yard. :ban: Persistence is key, right?! (lol) Anyway, I have enough room in the back corner of the yard for a 12' x 16' shed. I've spent hours looking at...

HLT will be for MLT only and fed by hot water. CLT is for pre-chill only and always fed by cold water. Ground water here runs about 40 degrees year round. Yes, I do see the benefit of multiple CFCs. Thank you all for your advice and direction. It is greatly appreciated!

Chiller - 3200 btu - 8 gallon reservoir - 4 separate sensors and pumps - Chills one 60 gallon tank, or two 30 gallon tanks, or four 15 gallon tanks CLT - 16 gallons Wort - Will be sending 10 gallons to fermenter

Yup...drew it with the general process in mind. Figured people would know it was a CFC. (lol) Thanx.

Yes, directly, I whole-heartedly agree, but chilling the water in the CLT to a frosty temp, then using that water to chill as opposed to the chiller directly? Thanx.

The CLT is a Cold Liquor Tank. It is filled with water, then chilled via the glycol chiller and internal coil, then used through the CFC on the bottom shelf to cool the wort prior to delivery to the conical fermenter.

The Wort Hog EBC-350 will do what you need...and for less than $900 to boot! Wort Hog™ EBC-350 – Electric Brewing

So, I'm in the process of building a new brew rig. I've attached a drawing of what I'm thinking about doing. Does this make sense? Does a CLT make more sense than separating the MLT into MT and LT? Would you configure the system differently? If so, how? Just want to get some feedback from you...

Looking for ideas for the creation of an enclosed grain mill (where the milled grain would drop into the bucket) or an existing product. Trying to find a way to reduce or eliminate the dust while milling. Suggestions? Thanks.

Recently picked up a MaltZilla Grain mill and wow! Works better than any mill I've tried previously. Anyway, I'm putting out some feelers to see if anyone knows where I could pick up a hopper that would work with this mill. Ideally, it would hold at least 20 pounds of grain. The insertion into...

Just can't figure out how to do this without having to drill through the table or something of the like. Has anyone done this before? Any alternative to "damaging" the table? Thanks in advance.

I would highly recommend the malt from Mecca Grade in Madras, Oregon...especially their Gateway malt. Perfect for decoction/step mash.

Excellent. Thank you, rburrelli!

On recommendation of a friend, I picked up a Vittles Vault yesterday for my grain storage. Looks like a really great way to store grain in an air-tight, pest-free way. When I returned home and opened it to pour in the grain, I noticed quite a powerful odor...assumably a by-product of the...

I pondered using an external pump, but since the placement of the pump would be higher than the container of glycol, it wouldn't work without a diaphragm pump. Thanks again.

Buehler... Buehler... Buehler... 🤪

Hoping one of you brewgineers can help me out and let me know if this would work. I was planning on Frankensteining my own chiller system. A small chest freezer containing 20 gallon container of glycol mixture. Multiple submerged pumps, managed by inkbird controllers, to feed a submerged coil...
