Ok I need some ideas for my next project. Below you will see the new extension for the Blichmann 42 gallon conical which makes it into a 96 gallon Conical. Our first run showed about a 5 degree temperature change which is a couple over the same brew in a 42 gallon unit. When we go to a big beer with an OG of 1.08 and up we expect much higher temperature changes and would like to control it better. The room is temperature controlled at 65-68 degrees.
First I need to put a temperature probe in. What type and how to install it?
Second I have to provide some cooling somehow.
I am thinking either inside coils or outside coils.
This conical is too big to move into a cold room even if I had one.
Currently we do not larger or crush but it would be a nice option to have
As you can see the Blichmann conical can be disassembled into 3 pieces for cleaning. You can also see that we have very little head room left.
