Home brewer to pro brewer

A few more shots of plumbing progress today.
I've never seen so many butterfly valves in my life.

Have a look at a Premier system, Butterflies up the warzoo, bit of a surprise when you find a use for some of them.

Things are moving along really well at the brewery with the 5th fermenter being filled tomorrow. It's been a massive learning curve from running the brewery, making the beers, pumping the wort to the fermenters & now onto keg washing & filling them all. It's a big change from brewing in the garage to a full on commercial system but I'm really enjoying the process. I've been basically handed the role of brewing my own hours, days, times etc. I'm full time but can work whenever I want, no set times or days, just head in & start cleaning or brewing etc. I even sneak a beer in while I'm working from the fermenters & getting paid to do it. It's a dream setup to be honest & I just let the boss know what I'm doing on the day or the next working day. The brewery is on the left side of the Cafe & the fermenters on the right & we pump the wort to the fermenters via a brewery hose. The photos of the flow meters show the speed it's being pumped over & the temp going over. The wort is pumped through a heat exchanger where tap water takes off most of the heat & is diverted back to the HLT & I control the glycol speed which sets the wort temp. It's certainly not all fun & games though, cleaning absolutely sucks.

Thanks for the update Crusty. I’m glad that your in your dream job. Cleaning sucks! But the better you are at cleaning, the better you will be at brewing.
