Hello.
I am in process of designing a single tier 100 liters (~26 gallons) brewstand. Its inspired mainly on the original Brutus 10 and on jlandin's slightly modified brutus 10
At the moment I am making the final decisions to start buying the parts I need. But I am in doubt about some details (both about parts and process) and I wanted to get some advice.
About the heating system:
- Which solenoid valve should I buy.
- Which pilot burner would be the most suitable.
About CIP system:
My plan is to adapt one of these little fellaws
And use the pumps on the rig to make a CIP system. Which I plan on using to help clean the system itself, as well as my fermenters.
My question about this is:
Would this 1/25hp Little Giant pump be enough? Or should I go for this 1/12HP Little Giant pump?
About the process itself:
- Would I get any problems with the false bottom getting clogged because of recirculating during mashing? On this stage (mashing) should the pump flow be restricted?
- When chilling the wort after boiling, should the wort be "recirculated" through the plate chiller and back into the boiler, or should it run through the chiller just once and foward into the fermenter?
Thank you for your time. Mutch appreciated.
