Check the link second from the bottom in my signature, I think we are at 320l thus far...

If I am right you have figure you could squeeze out 400l???

In which case I will add me to the bottom of the list...

Woo Hoo.....I am case swap cuber!!!! :super:

Just a thought for discussion:

Most 20L cubes will actually hold about 23-24L. Is the plan to top them off completely full, or ration everyone to exactly 20L?

If there's capacity to make 400L, it would be prudent to do so & cap the number of cubers at 16 (ie. 16 x 24 = 384)& allow for trub loss etc.

Anything left over can go to any reserves on the list, or (residual extract permitting), go for a parti-gyle brew.

Thoughts?

Boo Hoo....maybe I'm, not an uber-cuber after all.

Shakes fist...Damn you MartinOC and your practical considerations. :angry:

Oh well onto to the reserves bench I go.

Was thinking of Capping at 20l TBH

we will be restricted by the MT's in use as to how much we can get, looking back through...

Yob - 75l
RB - 130l
Idzy's - 200l

Based on that and an average efficiency ~%65-%70, we 'could' end up with close to 400l output if we push them all pretty hard (give or take) which I dont think is a great idea... but can be done..

Gut feel says that we will get about 400l pre boil but unless we know the boil off rate for the Uber Kettle.... well it's just guesswork innit.

:wacko:

 

[MartinOC]

Then it would make sense to err on the side of caution & cap allocations at 20L each. Anything extra is a bonus for reserves.

 

[Grainer]

Maybe you can bribe me for my spot .., Lol !! Not too fussed if I don't get some.. Bring a cube on the day and we will see what happens ... I have way too much beer In the shed already

 

[Grainer]

We should make a second swap list with all the reserves!!! Might as well so no one misses out !!! 6 so far And I could always add to the list got a choccy coffee breakfast stout sitting in the shed from a double batch !!

 

[RelaxedBrewer]

Sorry for the absence guys (long list of reasons why).
Still been checking this thread every now and then.

My equipment can still be used and I think using my kettle as a HLT sound like a good idea.

By the looks of things we are currently have 340L of wort in demand (with maybe an extra 40L with full cubes). I think we are going to need to cap cubes pretty soon.

I know my mash tun can put out ~150L on wort at ~50G and ~65-70% efficiency (this is all pre boil).

 

[Yob]

Sweet as, I rekon well **** it in mate, but better to have too much than not enough.

 

[Mardoo]

Yob, you want me to check about getting some pallets for the mash tuns to sit on? They're about a meter square, so two stacks (2 square meters of table) or more?

 

[MartinOC]

FYI, pallets are a standard 1.2m Square.

Braumeister Yob knows how much space he has available & how he'll want to arrange the bits, gravity, pumping requirements etc..etc..

I can't wait for this to come off!! :beer:

 

[Yob]

I'm not sue were gunna need em, I guess what I need is the width of the 2 other MT's so I can measure up.. Got a rough plan, just need to make sure it'll work. Thinking the 2 other MT's side be side on a metal frame I have... Widths is what I need at this point lads

 

[MartinOC]

Got a rough sketch/floor plan available, or is it all in your head right now?

 

[Yob]

I'll sketch it up martin

 

[djar007]

Best thread ever.

 

[MartinOC]

I'll sketch it up martin

Excellent!

BTW, I'm not trying to take-over, just curious how you're planning on bringing this monster project together. EPIC!!!!

Best thread ever.

Oh, I dunno....there was once this one about clocks....... h34r:

 

[Yob]

Very rough plan, rough tape measure of space
