I've got a way to go before I reach these levels of sophistication!

Stunning brewery, a benchmark if ever I've seen one.... But it looks bigger than 80L?
BB
Cheers, internal dia 500 height 625 shallow cone 125ltr brim full I could squeeze a wee bit more than 80ltr but four pins keeps me and my neighbours going.

How much would a brewery like that set me back?

...truth be told i fancy your brewery more than my girlfriend
Here is mine, finished about the same time as yours. Im always improving my process and the brewery is being upgraded with a GOAT chiller and I also need to add a couple of tablet computers to it for control. What i like about mine is its speed - 6 hours start to finish (fully cleaned) for 60 min boile and mash, 7 hours for 90 min boil and mash - 46 Liter batches

Mate, where do you get them kegs from? Would love a setup like this. Looks so cool

Is that a water filter you've got there in the top-left? Would you mind telling us which model/make?

Thanks Gibbiem, they are made in Spain by a company called Portinox who are based in Dewsbury - very nice people to deal with. Mine are American Sanke kegs - 15 US gallons which are a bit bigger than the 50 Liter Euro kegs as i wanted a bit more capacity than 50 Liters - see my build thread here:

The 680 litre HLT. All i have done o this so far is weld a 2 1/4 element socket and connections for a sight glass. It will have a 9kw element fitted and be insulated and wood clad.

The 530 litre mash tun. This has had a the top removed and a stainless, flat-bar cross welded into the bottom to support the false bottom. Again this will be insulated and wood clad and have a new lid fabricated for it.

The 680 litre brew kettle. This has also had the top removed. It has three 2 1/4 sockets welded in for three 6 kw elements. Yet again it will be insulated and wood clad.
All will need a lot of polishing too before being clad etc. Hope fully be up and running in a month or two!
Looks good... Love to come have a look when its all set up! Run a 2.5bbl here in Ipswich

Not as flash as the others but does the job. Need a good clear out of the garage. It becomes as dumping ground when I am away. Boiler is missing as it is outside with a brew on.
