This is a pic of my hlt/tun/kettle, they are still being made and should be ready by the end of nov. What does everyone think? My whole setup is still a working process.

they are all the same size so it will be easier to build

I was thinking is the mash tun going to have enough surface area to handle a 400l mash assuming you are using approx 90kg of grain per brew ?
What is the working diameter of the false bottom ?

Here's the blueprint, the company who is making it is really good with making brewing equipment

Looks good, if I am not being cheeky, whats the approx cost of each ? May be in the market for a 350 - 400 litre setup in next 6 months

Who's making it? Looks like they are doing a good job!

Whats your plans for this system, you gonna go commercial?

 

[vittorio]

Depends on what you want on it, what kind of steel, if you want a man hole etc. Depending on what you want on it between 2-3,000 each.

Looking at the measurements I think you will be lucky to do 300L.
I have a 100L tun with a laser cut false bottom approx 70mm from the bottom and I can just do a 22.5kg mash to produce a 1050 SG beer.
Even at this the grain bed is verging on too thick.
