Hey fellow homebrewers:
I’m working on an upgrade to my brewing set up, and would love some input and comments from any of you with some more experience than me in this area.
My current set up is a RoboBrew V3 35L and SS Brewtech chronical 7 gallon. Ive made many batches over about a year with this set up and i’m generally happy with it, but looking to upgrade in volume and also ability to better control my mash temp.
I already pulled the trigger to buy a 14g SS Brewtech chronical, and now my plan is to add a RoboBrew Brewzilla (65L) and still connect in my smaller RoboBrew 35L as a HERMS HLT and also use the RB 35L for cooling the wort at end of boil by filling with ice water and running my wort through the HERMS.
Since both RoboBrews have built in pumps, i think I’ve figured out a way to plumb this al together for an efficient brew process with much less moving around of hoses and lifting and emptying the vessels.
Attached is a diagram showing the set up.
This should allow me to just move valve levers and press pump switches to fill up the tanks, circulate and control wort temp for mash, boil, cool and even rinse for cleaning with much less moving around hoses and vessels. Not shown is a pulley system i’m planning to lift the malt pipe for sparging.
I would appreciate any comments, ideas, suggestions or pointing out potential problems for this system before i go forward with installing 220V outlet and buying the big RoboBrew 65L. But i think ive considered everything and I’m pretty psyched about my plans.
