Folks--
In the near future I will be cutting in the drains into my brewhouse. I have planned a circular drain situated between the kettle and the mash tun, 8-10 inch diameter placed in the center of a 4' X 4' sloped square. There will be a long trench drain in front of 7 - 15 bbl fermenters sloped 2' either side. In the cold room there will be another 6-8" circular drain located in the center of a 4' X 4' sloped square servicing 5 - 15 barrel bright tanks. Finally, a 6-8" circular for the keg cleaner/racker and another one for the filler, of course sloped.
Any comments from the crowd regarding my plan? Any concerns about drain pipe materials and their ability to withstand standard brewhouse cleaning chemicals? Is schedule 40 pvc 4 or 6 inch OK?
Thanks,
Damien
