Mash tun / stripping still

[Bolverk]

Howdy all,

Heres a little project I've been working on.

So this started out with the intent to be a direct steam injection mash tun but I realized that could just as easily make it a mash tun and a stripping still.

the steam generator:
4500w element in a 2" tube, auto fed and kept topped of via an analog float valve. The thing that's going to be confusing that there is an orifice plate (plate with one hole in the center) separating the water feed chamber and the direct steam path. This is to equalize the pressure between the two.

There is a 1 bar (15psi) prv in the stem path.

Steam will feed into a 2" to 1" reducer that will feed down into the bottom of the keg and heat/agitate the mash/beer as it blows through the educator nozzle (venturi).

The keg has a 4" column/riser port and 6" access port.

(The other port on the keg, opposite of the steam port will be for a future spike flow pump so i can recirculate the mash from the bottom of the tun)

I still need a few more parts but this should hopefully be up and running soon.
