Fellow brewers,
I am in the rebuild mode for the brewery as I have inherited a few 50l kegs (some time ago) and want to move from the 20lt HLT - 50l esky tun and the 40 lt stockpot kettle which I currently work to give me 30lt batches into a larger capacity.
The thought I was going down was a 70 lt HLT (old style keg with hotwater system elms), either a 50l or 100l tun (two 50l kegs welded together and a 100l keggle (again 2 x 50l kegs welded together - again same heating elms as the HLT) .. I think this would def be a sweet set up but when I moved the kegs together and looked at it I started to think .. do I really need a 100l tun ?? or would the use of one 50l keg be enough ??
I could see that this would def make the brewery capable of producing a solid amount of beer each brew ( I currently keg 1 18lt cornie and bottle the rest for a rainy day ;-) ) this increase in production would allow me to keg a few more kegs and let them sit in the cellar with CO2 on them and condition for a longer time ...
Thoughts on the proposed 3V set up ???
