I need some help with pump sizing.
We will be running a 3 vessel 5BBL Electric system.
8.5 BBL HLT
5BBL MLT
5BBL Kettle
The system is very similar to a Stout setup.
The Stout systems use 3x pumps:
Whirlpool & Transfer: 0.75 HP Thomsen pump
Wort Pump: 0.2 HP, 18 GPM pump (70L/min)
Water Pump: 0.25 HP 15 GPM pump (for keeping the HLT in circulation) (57L/min)
We are looking at the following pumps due to local availability, support and pricing:
Tellarini AL25's for the two small pumps (about 50L/min)
Tellarini AL40 for the large pump (about 140L/min)
The AL40 is double the cost of an AL25.
What is the minimum recommended pump size for Whirlpool & Transferring?
We may have to run our plate chiller with municipal water for a while and our supplier is recommending we throttle the wort to about 18L/min.
So we will run our small pumps for cooling
