best starting point to build a homebrew centrifuge?
In article , says...
We had two, 100 Hp centrifuges at a brewery that
I worked at In Sydney. We used them to spin out
most of the yeast before the beer was filtered. It
save a significant amount of money in diatomaceous
earth filter powder as well as saving on the
disposal costs of used filter medium..

That's more or less what I had in mind when I asked. Where I come from,
you don't use either centrifuges nor diatomaceous earth filters. You
don't use finings, you don't use uv to age the beer (you bloody well age
it in the tank first, and in the bottle second - 3 months minimum for
the latter before the bottles are allowed out the gate). I know very
well that the 'brewers' down here can't be bothered with that, and
that's why I won't buy DB or Lion or Foster etc ... I drink my own or
imported European beers.
I stopped drinking Tuborg and Stella the moment they started making it
in NZ under license, because I can taste the difference. :-( At times I
have the feeling they use cats' kidneys in the filtration process,
that's why they have to drink it ice cold: so they can't taste it.
Brewing beer should be an organic process, i.m.o. and not a chemistry
experiment. Patience pays off. Of course, that only applies if you take
pride in the product rather than just chasing the dollars.
Guess I'm just an old fusspot /rant off -P.
