Dear fellow brewers,
We are going to start a micro brewery and we are very tight on our budget, so I need some advice on building stuff.
Instead of going for a pro brewhouse system, I decided to invest on specific pro equipment and I want to convert second hand diary equipment for brewing purposes.
I will buy these from pro suppliers:
- Mash/lauter tun (China)
- Unitanks (China)
- Bottling/canning (Germany)
- CIP, Chiller, pumps (local)
I'm planning on carbonating after cold crashing and bottling directly from Unitanks.
The equipment I want to build/convert from second hand stuff:
- Malt miller
- HLT
- Boil tank / whirlpool kettle
- Control panel
I need advice/plans on building the boil kettle with a whirlpool ability. Which type of parts should I use? Should the motorized system be included underneath the kettle or should it be modular and attachable on top of it after boiling is finished? I'm a homebrewer so I2m not really familiar with how pro equipment works and I couldn't find a useful information on the internet about a combined boil/whirlpool plan.
Thanks in advance, cheers!
