Jonathon, your yeast regime very depends on the beer style and the brewing frequency.
Beer style means, whether you do a bottom fermenting beer, such like Pilsener or Lager, or you do Ales, Wheat or other top fermenting beers.
Brewing frequency means, how often youre aiming to brew.
If youre going to brew Pilsener/Lager style beers, youd need around 2% of the batch size, viable, viscous yeast, that could be around 2l pure yeast per 100l of wort. Pitched cold.
For top fermenting beers youd need only 1/2 (half)% of the batch size, means a half a litre yeast per 100l of wort. Pitched warm.
If youd like to brew both styles of beer, Id suggest you to do a few brews of the same style in a row, so you may harvest the yeast and repitch it up to 8 times.
In any way, Id suggest you to start yeast farming and keep all your yeast strains on slants, thats the only (practicable) way to store yeast for longer time.
Cheers mate :icon_cheers:

As per Zwickel's comments, reusing yeast propogated from slants would be the way to go. You should be able to step up your yeast by up to 10x volume per step.
Id be taking off a sizable volume of yeast/trub (around 2L or more) from the first big batch then repitch for the next beer - assuming it is the right yeast for that batch.
Another option for brewing this size is to buy yeast in bulk and pitch.

In all cases I reckoned the car analogy to be flawless - and it took some thought in this case, you see half the fun of a blat round the country lanes of Avon in your TVR is to heave your way through the gears, using engine braking and selecting exactly when the power is brought in, power sliding out of corners and so on... not as much fun in an automatic...
Now, if you had BUILT YOUR OWN AUTOMATIC sports car on the other hand...
Case rested...
Awesome tunnage BTW... Very best of luck Mr Jonathon, sir...

Finally had the time to read this post from scratch. WOW This rig is looking awsome, some of the computer talk went over my head but the rest left me feeling slightly inadequate. Keep up the good work Jonnothan

Cheers guys sounds like I either have a lot to learn on the yeast side of things or I just import Zwickel as head brewer..
Couldn't agree more! I have built a highly modified Nissan 200sx turbo and there is no way it will ever see an auto gearbox!!
"Sir Johnathon of Automationville" That has a nice ring to it, I'm sure the ladies would be impressed! :lol:
Cheers
oh here is a tip:
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN LCD TOUCH SCREENS!!! or do not work on brewery after 3, 12 hour night shifts and no sleep!! :angry:

Piss off or Buy Me A Beer
As usual mate it's looking the bomb. Some how what your looking at is outside of us mere mortal brewers. If I could suggest maybe PMing Kirem, TB or screwy. Those guys prolly have a better idea for your size system.
Cheers

BTW Keep up the good mate your an inspiration! Chap Chap

What if you split the outlet from the kettle and used 2 or more 30 plate chillers, like the ones from BB or mashmaster?
