I will design your microbrewery layout and calculate process loads
About this Gig
Are you a homebrewer expanding to a commercial taproom, or a craft distillery startup trying to build out your system without wasting tens of thousands of dollars on generic equipment?
Designing a commercial fluid and utility loop is a highly complex process. If you size your glycol chiller too small, your fermentation temperatures will run wild, ruining your batches. If you run your product piping diameters too narrow, your sanitizing clean-in-place (CIP) flows will drop below the necessary self-cleaning velocities, causing sanitary risks.
Give me your existing equipment inventory (Basic), your target cellar capacities (Standard), or simply your annual production target and budget (Premium), and I will calculate:
- Brewhouse Volume: Sizing standard mash tuns, boil kettles, and hot liquor tanks (HLT).
- Cellar Sizing: Sizing and determining the count of active Fermenters (FVs) and Brite Tanks based on style turnaround cycles.
- Glycol Chiller Sizing: Thermal calculations to specify the exact BTU/hr and Horsepower (HP) rating for your refrigeration unit.
- Piping & Pump Sizing: Determining pipe diameters to maintain sanitizing fluid velocities

FAQ
Do you stamp designs or provide official PE architectural stamps?
No, I do not provide PE stamps or localized structural certifications on Fiverr, as these require state-specific local licensure. I provide complete, industrial-grade engineering designs, process flow calculations, and equipment specifications that you can submit to your local licensed contractors,
What is clean-in-place (CIP) velocity, and why does it matter?
In sanitary food and beverage piping, fluid must move fast enough ($2 \text{ to } 5 \text{ ft/s}$) to create a turbulent shearing force on the inside pipe walls. This is essential for clean-in-place (CIP) systems to sanitize pipes without manual disassembly. My piping models ensure your pump and pip
Can you design glycol chilling jackets for fermenters?
Yes! I calculate the total thermal load needed to crash a fermentation tank (e.g., from dry hopping temps at 70°F down to lagering temps at 34°F within 24 hours), accounting for the heat capacity of the beer, to specify your glycol jacket area and main chiller horsepower.
Do you design steam, gas, or electrical element heating systems?
Yes. I can size steam boiler loads, gas burner BTU requirements, or electrical element wattage needs to achieve a rapid, rolling boil in your mash tuns or boil kettles as part of my Standard and Premium packages.
