We are looking to heat a 660 gallon still and 500 Gallon mash kettle with low pressure steam simultaneously and attempting to appropriately size our boiler. What information do we need to provide our boiler vendor to help them size the system? I presume length and number of runs as well as target temps for the mash should be enough but we don't seem to be getting a sound answer. Any advice on the best way to calculate this?

Thanks for the feedback everyone - we are bringing in a new company with experience installing boilers in breweries and distilleries to help us set up our system.

We have a 660 gallon still and 500 gallon mash kettle on order and are working with our contractor to design our boiler system. We are planning on a 1.5M BTU low pressure steam boiler to operate the still and kettle simultaneously and have a little extra overhead. What is the best way to regulate the temperature in the pot and kettle? Is it as simple as a manual valve on the steam line which is opened wider to increase heat or closed to reduce heat? Are there other options we should consider? Thanks in advance!
