Hey All,
We here at BIRCUS are fighting some serious battles to get our brewery up and running.
We have a 1996 New World Brewing Systems 5BBL BrewHouse with 3-10BBL Fermenters & 3-10BBL Brites.
We had what "we thought" was our final inspection today and were failed on just a few small, minor "fixable" things except for one.
They are requiring proof of UL Certification for the entire brewing assembly as a unit.
There is a UL Listing on the Brewhouse of AC-037891 - Enclosed Industrial Control Panel
There is a UL Listing on the Glycol Control Box of AC-037890 - Enclosed Industrial Control Panel
We were told that these are not sufficient and only apply to the "empty boxes" that the controls are housed in.
Our system is up! We are ready to take a brewing to scale, but simply have no clue how to research UL Listings of what is now an out of business brewery manufaturing co. or if they were ever UL Certified as a "system" vs. the individual components used to construct them.
Anyone with any input on how to proceed from here would be greatly appreciated. We are told there are independent labs that will come out and UL Certify operations, but before we bite that bullet we want to make damn sure we aren't just being hosed by the man here! This is getting rediculous!!
Thanks,
BIRCUS Team
