Well then! Had no idea this was replacement rather than full on start-from-scratch. If you're replacing with new, then you can get exactly what you need. I suggest VFD to be able to fine tune exact speed, especially if you're cutting the bed as well as graining-out. It's also a great way to monitor... -
Hello Matthew! Been a long time! Thanks for the shout. Hope you are safe & happy....Leave a comment:

I'm very good at this. Please email me at phil_kelm@yahoo Looking forward to hearing from you.Leave a comment:

This question is far more complex than what you've made it out to be. There should be a ton of engineering in your selection process. Starting with: Depth of grain bed, diameter of grain bed, speed of rakes, rake design, torque necessary, reverse cycle for mash out? Over bed, or under tun design?...Leave a comment:

You probably cannot convince people to spend more for something that they have to pay to landfill. There's a reason why most kegs are returnable & refillable. I was faced with a similar issue of supplying keg beer for one-way import to the US. Obviously not going to ship empty kegs back from...Leave a comment:

I always install check valves directly to the stone. Use a high quality SS instrument valve. When I buy from GW Kent, I add check valve P/N 85-619 to the assembly.Leave a comment:

About Glycol Recirculation Pump questions Howdy I came across your response to a similar situation and wanted to brainstorm with you if you can. I am installing a new glycol chiller today. My engineer and I are disagreeing on if we need to add in a loop or not. The chiller is 100% self contained with... -
We do 100 cases of cans a day using the tub & dunk method with a Cask manual 2-head filler & seamer. On the other hand, I use a homebrewing-style bottle rinser with a small submersible pump in a tub of sanitizer with a foot switch to sanitize & rinse 750ml bottles at my cidery. We do over...Leave a comment:

I've used Shur-Flo Beer Ace as well as FloJet. The latter are easier to install in multiple sets. They sell panels pre-assembled for up to four pumps. Looked around, but can't find any pictures of installations I've done--too bad as there were two projects where I had panels of 24 pumps. 8 for each...Leave a comment:

And you've made my point for me! Your proposed solution is a March pump. Plus fittings. Plus the dedicated GFCI circuit inside a cold room. Plus the effort of filling a keg with tap cleaner, then rinse, and then sanitizer (assuming you have a multi-step tap cleaning procedure). Compare that to...Leave a comment:

That would work. I never had good luck with adjustable faucets. Seems like an afterthought or bandage for a tap system that wasn't thought out well. I'd still opt for the separate regulators on each keg for carbonation control and then use beer pumps to get the flow required for perfect flows. Just...Leave a comment:

So what were the tasting notes? Gravity drop? That's really the rubber/road issue, right? If I were going to store that long, would have moved to another tank to get the liquid off the yeast/bottoms. And much colder, too. But that's me without knowing your particular situation. 10psi isn't too...Leave a comment:

Sounds like a PITA SOP. Many folks use an air knife to cut the water off the bottle before casing, taping, stacking, and bringing into the cooler. Bottles shouldn't sweat too much if they are put in an enclosed carton, sealed, and then put into your cold room.Leave a comment:

Definitely not normal. Bolts should never break. Ever. Motor overload relay should protect the motor. If that fails, the circuit breaker should protect the motor. If that fails, the motor should stall before any structural damage is done. Sounds like you need to speak with manufacturer. Check...Leave a comment:
