Beautiful system. The individual loop controllers will do the job, but that's quite a bit of button fiddling. A touchscreen HMI with a little PLC could really simplify the interface, but would add to the cost. This is a reasonable solution and the learning curve probably isn't too steep for most folks.

Pipe tape is chemically inert and good to 550F. NPT threads and PTFE tape are very common among sanitary applications like your home plumbing. Also your wort is boiled thus killing anything that could ever cause an issue.

That's a nice system, and I can't seem to find a bad word said about your products in the home brewing forums. Have you considered doing a comparison between your turnkey and some others? Blichmann has a similar setup (Pro Pilot Series) that seems to come in slightly lower in cost. SS Brewtech has a new 1bbl setup that looks pretty "fancy schmancy" but comes in at nearly double the cost of your rig. I like the buy-once cry-once mentality. But what makes your product stand out above the others?

The recirc port in the HLT recirculates the water at the bottom near the element up towards the top. This gives a consistent temp throughout the entire tank.

How would I do FWH (First Wort Hops) with this system, as FWH involves adding a portion of the hops to the boiler at the very beginning of the sparging process, allowing these hops to steep as the sparging completes and remaining in the kettle throughout the boil. Add the hops to the boiler as soon as you have finished recirculating the first runnings.
@walkerrichardson5 жыл бұрын
Hey Matt. I do a lot of first wort hopping in my Spike System. It works exactly how you guessed. Personally, I just have the FWH pellets sitting in the empty boil kettle from the start of the brew day (so I don't forget them). Then once the lauter/sparge process begins the boil kettle is filled with your wort and you have your FWH hops ready to do their thing.
@bbrocker4uk7 жыл бұрын
Your 50 gallon system says "1bbl". What is the max output... 31 gallons? I assume the 50 gallon is full to the top and it will produce about 1bbl?
@walkerrichardson5 жыл бұрын
The output limit there is however much wort you are comfortable boiling in that kettle. Most people find filling their kettles anything past 80% puts them in a precarious boil-over situation. You could probably get away with a 40 gallon output but that's an odd size for a fermentor. But one barrel (31 gallons) is much safer and would be compatible with most off-the-shelf conicals.
