Hello all,
We're in the process of opening a 10BBL brewhouse in NYC. Our brewspace is very limited, and we decided to go with pre-milled grain initially to save on space. However, we were recently given some outdoor space, and we would like to incorporate a grain room and mill room to help free up some space inside the brewery.
The grain storage would be simple. Temp controlled shed to house at least 1 months worth of grain.
However, we're trying to determine the best way to operate the mill room. It would be separated from the grain room, used only for milling and augering. The dilemma is augering the grain into the brewery. The auger would be exposed to the outdoors, since the mill room and the brew house are not connected, and would enter the roof of the brewery into our mashtun.
We know this arrangement isn't ideal, but we figured we weren't the only ones in this situation.
Does anyone have any experience augering from a remote location outdoors? And if so, would you have any recommendations or considerations to give us as we plan to make these additions to our brewery?
