Hi- We are a self financed nano-brewery trying to grow incrementally. We brew about 3 barrels on a brew day, that's running a 1.5 bbl system 2x. Our first upgrade was to purchase a 5 bbl brite tank (Carbonating in the keg, while fun and pec building, is proving too time consuming and crazy making. It's over-carbed- that one's under-carbed...acckk!) If all goes well, over time, the brew house and fermenters will follow size upgrade wise.
So we ordered the tank and a CPE C114 pump. Now I'm just trying to figure out hoses, primarily for running the cip ball. Our existing kettle and HL Tank have 3/4" NPT outs, this is where my cleaner and hot water rinse would come from, and the ins on the brite are 1" and/or 1.5".
Does anyone have advice or experience with a situation like this? My concern is that the water coming out of the kettle will run too slow for the pump and the larger hose going into the brite. If my worries are groundless, great, but if it will be an issue, any ideas on what I should do? I apologize if I sound like an idiot- I'm basically the front office person. Thanks for your help!
