Brewmation's 7bbl advanced control panel

[nostalgia]

Thought y'all would like to see this bad boy. 200 amps at 208 volts, three phase. It's a monster. I have no idea how my electrician is going to get it on the wall, but that's why I'm paying him, right?

Awesome setup, looks like they do really clean work.

It's strange they chose to use outlets. You could have saved hundreds of dollars in parts by hardwiring your system in. It's not like you're going to pull your kettle to the sink to rinse it.

What are the VFD's for?

I know nothing about this system, but are the elements removable from the kettle? If so, then they should be easily removable from the panel, that way if they need cleaned or replaced, then you dont have to deal with rewiring.

Sweet. The panel looks like the panels I make for the plastic extrusion industry. I guess it's the same concept.

Looks nice. The brewery in the background looks nice. Looking forward to seeing it installed. Good luck with your venture

Several hundred dollars? I don't think that is a big deal once you price out a brewmation panel... They are nice. I've seen them in action in a 3bbl nano. Definitely worth the $$$ if you have the startup budget.

Thanks for sharing!

Got several more huge boxes in today. The heating elements are INSANE. 15kW:



I was driving the little pump cart all over the brewery. I was surprised to see it has a VFD--I'm not used to a variable speed pump.



This is the glycol control panel. It attaches to the main panel with a CAT5 cable.



Box o' pumps. The ones on the ends are centrifugal, the ones in the middle are peristaltic.



Here's the ginormous RIMS tube.



And the sparge arm.

Awesome, what are you using ther peri pumps for, and where did you get them/cost?

Unitronics PLC, nice. Need help tweaking code, let me know, I work for beer.

And the brand.

Hi guys! Sorry I lost track of this thread.

The pumps all came as part of the turnkey kit from Stout Kettles. They are part of the electronics and controls package part of the kit, which is supplied by Brewmation.

Incidentally, the brewery is up and running now. I've done 6 batches on the system so far and could not be happier. Here's the whole system in action:
