SHOW OFF: Basement Brewery cleaning sinks

[day_trippr]

There you go
I mean, without the 'puter, that's just a Rube Goldbergian pile of stainless steel

Cheers!

It won't be here until Monday, but I just purchased this large poly sink for my build.

I had a stainless steel commercial unit with two 24x24x14 inch tubs and a 24" drainboard on order, but I'm canceling it since it was back-ordered until mid-September.

It was almost four times the cost of this simple plastic tub sink, so I think I'll try out the tub-sink first. I need a utility sink for my wife's hydroponics space anyway, so if this doesn't work for me I can shift this over get the stainless one in the future.

To mount on the tub-sink, I've ordered one of the commercial-kitchen sink faucets and ordered a longer pre-rinse hose.

I'll post some pics of it all when it gets in this coming week.

Love to see where you purchased this as well as the cost. Thanks.

I want the pro mill. When will you be away for a bit ;-)

Here are a few more of my galley-style basement britchen. Cooktop has 2 large elements, 3000w and 3200w. I have been using the 3000w and it works great on high setting when the 20-quart brew pot is filled with 4 gallons of wort at the start of the boil.Lots of cabinets and drawers to store brewing equipment and supplies. And a walk-in pantry for even more. It's used exclusively for brewing and serving beer. The wife has her own "kitchen" all to herself and now we are both happy!

Dude... that’s beautiful. A whole separate kitchen for brewing. Suweet. I have a bar sink downstairs and brewed there twice. Then I got kicked to the laundry room sink cause the wife said it smelled like I was washing a horse.

View attachment 683050probably brewed 60 gal of beer next to this sink. Should have cleaned up before taking a pic, but you guys are friends, not company. Washer/dryer stack unit is just out of frame on the left.

Thanks!

Oh, forgot its all done now.

Also its a BSG ( brewers supply group) sticker.

So... how hard is it to clean?

Awesome pictures everyone! What is a good height for the pull down faucets? 25" 36"? I have seen a lot of different sizes on here and I'm sure each has its drawbacks.

Cheers

I have a commercial-style sprayer that is on the short-side. If I had do-over, I would get the tall one. There isn't a lot of flex in this one.

Thanks for the feedback.

It was in my garage but it is the same concept. I sold the house but kept the sink

 

[day_trippr]

Sweet. I could fit just half that in my humble brewery, but I'd still be happy

Cheers!

This was a great thread to read thru! I’m looking to install. Sink in my garage where I have a water heater but no access to water or sewage, so I plan to have a plumber do it.
So what’s your experience - do I need a garbage disposal to clear the hop and trub debris? Or is a basic drain out good enough?

Most of the hops from my kettle go out (yard debris/municipal composting) with the spent grains. But more than a little grain and hops go down my drain with no disposal.

fwiw, I wouldn't stuff a lot of whole hops down the drain even with a disposal.
