Not only the most amazing homebrew setup I've seen, but some of the best engineering and craftsmanship I've seen for any hobby project!
 
pretty crappy.

j/k, this thread was like reading a book I couldn't put down, WOW, tight! You should just build your own full scale brewery! Thanks for posting all your efforts, definitely got a lot out of it, namely Jealousy. Ahh back to reality...

Very Very Cool man
 
Do you ever have any problems with the pump with hard plumbing? Is the pump a self-priming pump?


Nope no problems, and nope its not. Its basically a march pump on crack, with a center inlet.
 
First off looks great. One question. As for doing electric vrewing. Hve u figured out how much it cost to run ur setup during a brew day.

Not exactly, but my guess, is somewhere around $5.

I just watched your videos. Is the bag a paint bag for the hops? Is it all you use to filter the hops from the wort? Do you have an clogging issues with the plate chiller? Do you have the boiling wort going to the chiller or pump first?
 
Yup, and Yup. No, no clogging issues. It leaves the kettle, hits the pump, then chiller.

Just wanted to update this build thread. I have probably 25 brews on the system so far, and I am starting to get a feel for it. I have bumped my efficiency up to about 78%+- from 70%, thats not good or bad I just want consistency. Finally getting around to making all the software things come together. Here are some pictures as it sits today.

Also one of the tv's in the bar is hooked up to as well, so we can monitor it as we drink and talk:

Very slick. Fantastic. One of the classiest breweries I've seen.
