Update.
The last few weeks have been a fun and challenging time.
I was able to get the plumbing from the Brewing System to the biodigester installed on the other side of my house.
This will take the spent grain from the system to the tank in the ground that holds upwards of 800 gallons and will digest the spent grain for other uses.
All the valves are now installed on the system along with the refractometer and the pump to transfer liquids between kettles, fermenters and the CIP Loop.
Still need to acquire a few parts which I am currently talking to manufacturers about but should have a solution soon.
PLC programming is also underway and manual controls currently work flawlessly.
The system has ran with just a caustic solution to clean all the fittings and was able to heat water to 180 degrees in just 45 minutes from ground temp.
Current project expense $74,018.00
More to come...
