Anyone using a more industrial type motor similar to this: https://www.allamericanaleworks.com/shop/180-rpm-power-grinder-grain-mill-motor/ I was originally looking for a pulley set for a 3 phase motor I have but decided against it due to higher side loads on the mill so I'm back to looking for...

Commissioned the new brewery a couple of weeks ago and buggered up the strike water temp. Target mash temp was 66 deg but it dropped as low as 60 deg for a good 20 mins before I sorted out a way of ramping it up. I'm pretty certain most of the conversion was done by the time I started ramping it...

I haven't no chilled for many years and I'm about to fire up the new brewery for a 100L batch to supply at my old man's 60th in November. It needs to be reasonably basic but still tasty to suit the masses. Usually the first comment to my home brews is geez it's bitter, I think this is the only...

After a very busy year or so I finally have some time to revisit a project I have had in mind for a very long time. Looking at putting together a 2.5BBL professional grade pilot plant for anywhere up to a 200L packaged volume. The primary use will be for collaboration brew days as it turns out...

I'm looking at building a largeish HERMS using LPG to heat the surrounding water. Having not really used gas before can someone point me in the right direction as far as the required parts go for automatic regulation of propane flow to a burner based on an output temperature? Is it commonly...

I have a few breweries I like to frequent based purely on beers I like but the missus has suggested I take her to one to see why I like them so much! Her requirements are purely based on food which is a problem as none of the ones I like do food. Can some one recommend me a brewery preferably in...

So I needed a new project and I decided that I wanted to learn about PLC's and automation, I use the term automated lightly as this will be very basic use of a PLC and not automating the brewing process other than temp controls and a lot of indicators like temp transmitters etc. I deal with...

Hello all, I'm looking for a small second hand air cooled chilled water unit. Anything from 3kw to 7kw will be workable and prefer single phase at this stage. Anyone use something similar in their brewery for wort chilling and can advise some good units. Also an idea of batch sizes and chiller...

After more than 2 years design and build my new 3V brewery is finally nearing mechanical completion. I started with a simple single vessel RIMS brewery which I really enjoyed the simplicity of and the quality of the beer. After a couple of years BIAB I wanted a challenge and thought maybe a...

To save bringing an oxy O2 bottle home from work to trial some wort oxygenation, I was contemplating taking an empty corny to work, filling with maybe 20psi of O2 and then using that to run through an air stone into the fermenter. From my research pure O2 should be ok with all the materials in a...
