New brewery almost complete.

I wish I could say I built the panel but I did not. I purchased it from another member on the forums who put a ton of thought and time into building it. It is 1 of a kind. I did make a few modifications after I bought it to be able to run 2 elements in the hlt or 2 in the boil at the time to speed up my brew day. The panel is on it's own dedicated 50a gfci circuit, my fermenters and glycol chiller are on a different 120v 20a gfci circuit. The controllers for the glycol system and fermenters are just inkbird temp controllers.

Thanks! I couldn’t see the panel clearly, so I hoped that I finally ran across someone that was supplying power to his or her brew system and fermenters through one control panel powered by a 50A 220V circuit. I knew that doing all that on one panel would be cutting things close, but I still had (have) wishful thinking that it could be done.

I thought I was all fancy when I moved my kettle from the counter to an old milk crate. Nice set-up! Looks sweet.

There is a close up of the panel. Sorry thought I had posted one.

So how do clean something like that? Seems like it would take me forever.

 

[Drumminguy81]

Most of it is clean in place circulating near boil water through everything. I work with triclamp fittings at my day job so I'm pretty quick with them.

That is an incredible setup. Well, I guess it is credible since you have pictures, but nonetheless impressive. Also impressive is that your garage is 50sq ft bigger than my house.

Love the brewhemoth conicals, I have one too.

 

[Drumminguy81]

Been a while, but i replaced all of my valves with butterfly valves and re routed some of the hard piping. Also added diaphram valves for sparge flow control. Loving this system!

I am loving looking at it!

Just seeing the last few pics, I was gonna ask the same.

No way I'd be using that without building in a CIP process (i couldn't imagine a full breakdown/scrub of it). And I'd be using caustic too (dunno if you can get a built caustic at home, but you can definitely get lye), I wouldn't rely on boiling water to get the job done (or even PBW for that matter). That's far more advanced than most smaller brewery pilot systems I've seen.

Add me to the jealous club.
