This will consist of the electrical service, water filtration,
steam boiler (if required) and glycol chiller. The chiller and boiler both generate heat and will require adequate ventilation and make up air. The water filter will occasionally require back flushing and should have access to a drain.
 Many breweries locate certain mechanical components close to their intended use, for example, the boiler could be located close to the brewhouse to allow for a minimal piping run of steam and condensate. The glycol chiller will primarily supply the fermentation and/or bright tanks and as such, will be more economical to install in close proximity areas.
Basic brewhouse electrical requirements are:
|
|
Temperature Control Panel 110v / 60 hz / FLA 2 |
|
|
|
Brewhouse Control 110v / 60 hz / FLA 2 |
|
|
|
Hot Liquor Pump 208v / 3 phase / 60 hz / FLA 5 |
|
|
|
Wort Pump 208 v / 3 phase / 60 hz / FLA 5 |
|
|
|
CIP Pump 208 v / 3 phase / 60 hz / FLA 5 |
|
|
|
Glycol Chiller (2HP) 208 v / 3 phase / 60 hz / FLA 17 |
|
|
|
Steam Boiler 208 v / 3 phase / 60 hz / FLA 10 |
In addition, you will need adequate lighting in all work area, 110 v receptacles will be needed in the lab area to service small scales, meters, etc. These numbers do not take into account grain milling and delivery, keg racking, washing, filling, any packaging or filling lines.
Basic brewery water: A minimum of 1" line delivering 10.5 GPM @ 40 p.s.i. will be required. This amount is based on the wort cooling demand. The type of water and the ambient temperature of the water can effect these requirements. It should be noted that the customer is also responsible for providing and installing all
water piping throughout the brewery. In addition, the glycol chilling system which the customer is also responsible for, is best constructed of copper and will vary in sizing and length based upon its location.
HVAC: Local codes will dictate but the steam boiler will require exterior
venting of the combustion gases. The brewkettle will either require a vapor stack vented to the atmosphere or a vapor condenser. The area housing the brewkettle will require a
positive pressure. Some breweries tie the brewery into the buildings AC system, but it should be noted that during certain points of the brewing process, strong aroma's may be present. Please remember these are an outline of basic requirements and your exact system may vary somewhat. It is recommended that in an effort to solicit accurate bids from trades, the customer secure a set of Installation drawings complete with customer / contractors responsibilities from DME
Brewing Services. |
