Looking for Some feedback

Post by BackwoodsBrewer »

Hello Everyone! I have been following all of you amazing distillers for quite some time and have borrowed your knowledge often to save me from myself. I've been working on this steam idea for a while. Cooking corn sucks! I have had trouble adapting my herms setup to working with corn. It starts off fine and just gets stuck as soon as geletinization starts. So after months of trial and error and error again I decided steam might be better for my mental health. I wanted it to be modular and use parts I already had (sort of). I used many of the parts from my mash setup and the still column. The theory is that the 4" steam column boils the small volume of water using a 5500 watt element and the keg replenishes as the steam boils off. Currently it has a manual fill valve that I adjust to match the boil off rate, I want to add an automatic fill valve to the keg (maybe a Hudson Valve?), looking for ideas. It has an adjustable 2 way PRV and a pressure equalizing crossover. Wondering how to safely increase pressure as it normally operates on less than 0.5 PSI. Please take a look and let me know what you think.
