I'm going home to make a cardboard mockup of my new BIAB setup. Complete with large circle of cardboard voile and cardboard hydrometer.
L_bomb, I've never been a fan of the whole side door MLT the bigger brewerys use. First I have heard of a mechanical cleanout in one though . The mash stirrer will help to break up the spent grist, and I think it will need to be rewetted with water to help it come out.
Actually, the rakes in my post seem one way... but googling lauter rakes will get the creative juices flowing.
40 pages and it doesn't seem like we are anywhere near having a design that is going to work......you have cought me 85% into the project, and am way beyond the point of no return. There is not much left to get, from here on its prety much hooking up 12V circuits. Do you really want me to abandon the project that on the current schedule will be assembled and ready for full scale testing in 42.5 days?
What happened to your single vessel idea.
Zizzle did that already.
Thanks for the search term Jazzafish, and all the ideas fellas. Here is what my mash stirrer was going to be - just a vertical stainless rod as the drive shaft and then other rods welded to it along the length at 90 degrees to each other. Will probably change that now.
And yes I already have two bog rolls saved
What do youz think about the rotating drum MLT? Anyone seen it used anywhere? This forum? Other forums? It looks wrong, but it would eliminate the butterfly valves in both the MLT and kettle. Sideways brewery?
my boss bugs me with 'so when is this thing going to make beer?'
Okay, so that was august 5th. Well work got really busy the next week, and didnt stop being insanely busy until 2 weeks ago. The busy period doesnt usually start until late september or sometimes mid october. When its busy it takes the little time I have off to recover from the intense work. Earlier this year I did a 35 hour day. I got into work at 7am, and left 35.5 hours later.
