Gearing up for a trial run this weekend manually switching elements and pumps since the electrics are still a while away. Keen to know how the mash/lauter process is going to go and also the un tried false bottom so doing a 100L batch to kick it off. This means that every night this week is shed...

That's what I do for work just not in the brewing industry. I'm pretty sure the craft guys don't get too much stuff custom designed & engineered, there just not the $$ there for them to do it.

Initially I will use flow as a guide only as I have no way of automatically varying it and it's a calorific flow meter so it's got good repeatability but not as accurate as some other types. Due to the smaller surface area it mat need to be run slow but only testing will tell. I'll send you a...

I prefer the loxeal so go with that. Can't recall why I have both but suspect it's to try a few options and settle on what works best. The loxeal dries hard the locktite does not so for pressure you are going to want the loxeal anyway. I believe the locktite claims if you let it set it will seal...

Taken the above advice on board and reduced melanoidin and biscuit to 2% each. Also added some MO as pils malt not in stock as per my BS inventory so need to go grab a sack of MO this week. Changed hop schedule for 15IBU @ 60 and 15IBU in the cube. For cube IBU's I have used a 20min WP addition...

How are you calculating your cube IBU's?

Shed definitely full, this one set up outside, lucky its all stainless and IP rated!

It was a thought early on to justify the costs to the missus but the reality is it would be a pain to transport and it's too small for gypsy brewers but I think. Might be an ok size for a pilot rig for some medium sized breweries to run trial batches perhaps. By making it equivalent or better...

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...

It's been like Christmas lately with deliveries every day! we know the postie quite well now. Almost all the equipment has been delivered, pumps, PLC, HMI, valves, temperature, flow and level transmitters, heat belts, heating elements, sight glass etc. The nano pump is just awesome, put a gauge...

I'm using the one on the left for water lines with threaded valves and the one on the right for gas lines. Either is fine for both however.

Yeah can be removed.

There's better stuff to use if you want a good seal, Ill have to wait until I'm home to take a pic but its a loctite product which is a liquid Teflon and dries hard. I use it on brewery LPG threaded fittings. Anti seize stays as a paste.

That BSM union in your pic is where we would more commonly be using this anti sieze as its product contact and if they sieze its a *****. You don't generally see any threaded fittings in food applications, is that a beer line?

Here is what we use:

Teflon tape breaks off and contaminates the product.

double post

Are the threads you use parallel or tapered? I could maybe understand if they're all parallel and well made there would be no friction and therefore difficult to gall. Tapered threads are another story and presumably what you are using if they need to seal against liquid.

Hard to tell if that's sarcasm over the interwebs but it seems odd that the suppliers would not be recommending it. It was one of my first lessons day 1 out of uni and into the real world, no antisieze = grinder.
