From Pro Brewery (Almost) Back to Home Brewery

[RedDragon]

Thanks Land Locked Brewer. Last year we decided not to go pro but invest some of the capital into this system. It was a great project. I miss the designing and building of it...that was half the fun! Now I get to brew! I have a few more projects on the horizon to make it even better!

Sounds like a good amount of work. I scoop out as much as I can and then just take keggle out back, flip it over and hose it out. I don't have probes or anything in there so it's no problem. I figured these nicer rigs would have a fancier solution for getting rid of the spent grain. Tippy dump or maybe a switch that opens a tiny black hole... One of you geniuses needs to figure that out ASAP.

There would be no way for me to physically lift a full 20 gallon mash tun of wet grain. I dont like taking out all the connections too ofter (probably every 5 brews). I then have to fill with water to make sure there are no leaks prior to brewing. I do my soak of the boil kettle then just suck it out with the vac and rinse. Then I just drain the vac. It is really easy to tell you the truth. The less I move those, the better. I'd hate to risk denting them or scratching them up too much.

Can I get your address so I can rob you? Very impressive setup and your garage space would be good for parties.

Gonna be moving to lake anna soon (on the lake public side farthest from the power plant) ... maybe we can meet up and grab a beer in Fredericksburg sometime. I don't have an electric brewery like you but my brewery setup is comparable to yours.

Wow. Very inspirational (and a bit intimidating).
One day...

Very nice brewery !

I love the hose patch panel. However, I would be worried about running into the RIMS (?) hardware when its connected. Do you find that to be a problem ?

What do you use the stand pipe at the back left for ? What is the thing connected to the stand pipe ?

I'd love to see a list of all the ports on each kettle and how you use them.

Thanks
