Hammond River Brewing
Finally, construction of my nano brewery started today. Door frame was built today to accommodate a 36" steel door. My system and control panel isn't scheduled to arrive until sometime in July, but I want to have the brewery built by the time it gets here. Electrician is coming tomorrow to wire everything up. After the electrician is finished, up will go the walls and ceiling, which all need to meet fire code. I'm just glad that some things are finally getting done!

It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: Hammond River Brewing
Yeah, it's nice to finally have a little bit of progress. I purchased this today for the brewery as well.

Re: Hammond River Brewing
Yeah, that was what I was thinking as well. The health inspector was in my house on Monday and said that I actually didn't need to go with stainless steel for the sinks......but I wanted to anyways.berley wrote:When it comes to brewing, you can never have too much sink!
I need to order a hood range for ventilation and am going to go with stainless steel for this as well. I've narrowed it down to two models, both of them have the same specs......just different looks is all. What is everyone's thoughts between the two?

Re: Hammond River Brewing
I prefer the industrial look of the 2nd one, but would probably prefer the 1st one if it was in my kitchen.

Re: Hammond River Brewing
Yeah, that was kind of my dilemma. I actually prefer the look of the first one, but the second one has more of a commercial kind of look to it and probably a little more suiting for a brewery.Jimmy wrote:I prefer the industrial look of the 2nd one, but would probably prefer the 1st one if it was in my kitchen.

Re: Hammond River Brewing
I have the 1st one in my kitchen. I would make sure the airflow is enough for what you need. i.e. I don't think it'll cut it for brewing 10+ gals.

Re: Hammond River Brewing
with the first one if there was any condensation the curve might keept it from dropping directly back into the boil

Re: Hammond River Brewing
I'd either build one or find something a bit more commercial in size (kijiji maybe?).

Re: Hammond River Brewing
A real fan and funnel (for lack of better description) I think would be a better for exhaust.

Re: Hammond River Brewing
Thanks for the comments/feedback everyone. So you guys don't think that 900 CFM fan would be sufficient? I'm not super knowledgeable in this area, and was just going by the numbers off of Kal's electric brewery site. According to his site, I would only need 511 CFMs for my size brewery.

Re: Hammond River Brewing
900 CFM sounds fine but you'll probably want a variable speed switch on it. You were probably going to do that anyways. My fan is "only" 400 CFM and does a wicked job.

Give great consideration to fan dB/location too.
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter.
