I have been trying to get a quote on a boiler and installation for our 20bbl system. I feel that I have a good understanding of the steam requirements of our system and what boiler it requires to provide that steam. Where I am falling apart is in pricing this out.
I will be using the Columbia MPH30 boiler as an example.
Columbia tells me that the boiler itself should cost about 24k. What I am getting widely varying opinions on is what else needs to come with the boiler in terms of equipment and what it should cost to install.
I got one quote for 160k and honestly didnt even respond to the guy.
At a minimum, I know I will need the boiler and equipment to treat the water going into the boiler. Can anyone walk me through their boiler install process - I am just trying to avoid getting fleeced on the 1 piece of equipment/installation that I absolutely know the least about. The installation should be very simple - the boiler will be installed within 10 feet of the natural gas line and within 20ft of the brewhouse. The ceiling is a bit tall at 20ft, so im sure the venting wont be cheap.
Anyone willing to share general points on here I would be very grateful - if you dont want to share specifics on here, please feel free to reach out to me at brian@blackflagbeer . One better if you are near MD and have a reference for an installer familiar with breweries.
Thanks!
