I am really enjoying your KZfaq's and inspiring me to do better. From my experience the flour milling game. The purpose of the piping on the bin is that small pipe is used to have material blown from a bin inside the brewer to the outside unloading bin. There is a cylinder ( known as a cyclone) on top of the bin where the inlet pipe enters at a tangent. Two things happen here the material in the pipe hits the wall of the cyclone causing it to loose velocity and drop out of the air stream and secondly due to the larger diameter of cyclone means that the velocity of the air steam that is moving material from brewer also slows down as it is moving in the expanded area. This means it can't support the weight of the material in the air stream, so the material drops. The large pipe from the bin is to vent the air. (I suggest they have built it this way in case the bin overfills it doesn't block the delivery pipe). Normally they would just have a vent on top to release the air.

I love train layouts but I build truck models and everything you do I can apply to it. Weathering and scratch build techniques. I enjoy your channel.

Amazing how much I am learning from your videos, just excellent. Thanks so much.

Likely an air pipe going into the side from a indoor compressor. The valve looks to be an electromagnetic solenoid valve. Very great vid. Thank you.

I found your Channel a few weeks ago and have been thoroughly enjoying playing catch up with your excellent presentations. Although I don't have a layout at this time, I spend a good deal of time railfanning CP, CN and the SRY. I am well familiar with the areas which have inspired your Milner and River Road layouts. Your modelling is truly outstanding, I particularly like the ease and simplicity with which you achieve such convincing results. Keep up the great work! Alan Wright, Langley

Boomer I feel like I'm getting a PHD in model building, you Sir are one Bad Ass modeler, excuse my French!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great build! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills!

Back to modelling and getting my Boomer fix! Excellent work as always

Finally getting a chance to sit down and study this series.

Looking good Boomer.been following,not too many comments but your work is exceptional. Loving your weathered coffee cup🎄

Hello and thanks again for your time sharing this fantastic information on this hopper....👍

I watch these as soon as I see one has dropped. Thanks again for taking the time to share. BTW it stopped playing partway through, but I just reloaded the page and it completed; no worries.

Again with the Awesomeness! TFS, GB :)

Great work Spent grains and hops are used primarily for livestock feed and compost

Another outstanding tutorial. Nice to see it done this way rather than via a 3D printer. Old school still rules! I pick up handy tips and tricks with almost every episode. Thanks for putting this together, Boomer.

Here's a wild thought. Maybe put some narrow gauge track under the extractor. That way it can look rail severed. This can come in from edge layout and would fit just a short bit pass the extractor, in the under growth. Modellers licence. Could have been the factory's own narrow gauge railway.

Brewery Extractor looks really great! And the instruction for the build was detailed and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing Boomer!

It is pretty facinating to watch you builiding these things, and I certainly learn a lot. The tip how you make those bands on the cylinder is a neat trick, which I am to use in the future, the chanches of them not getting as crookes will be less! Cheers mate!

To quote Oak Island this is a ah ha moment.

Nice work, great tips, I'm excited to see the next step. Now please tell me that is your "weathering wash" cup and not your coffee! : )

Thanks for the great video and explanation on how to do this. I am going to make my own tanks for my industries so this was helpful. Going to put together my wood building flat today!

With small brewers or craft brewerys,the small pipe at top pumps a semi liquid slurry of spent hops to the tank and the large pipe allows air in to slow dry the mash. Once dry they call for pickup,If my memory servesme well.

Great work!

If I remember right, I think the used hops is used in the production of cattle feed.

Just a thought but the used hops might go for animal feed. Loving the build. I'm picking up some great tips and techniques from your work.

Keep this stuff coming Boomer !! I'm looking at styrene modeling in a whole new dimension. Thank you for sharing the wealth!

At some point can you talk about the jigs you use to construct your models. Great videos thanks

I used a cheap xyz filament 3D printer to make 3 cylindrical shapes with a rounded and pointed end resembling surge hoppers for grain elevators that are much like you made here. took longer though. But I didn't have to try to form the funnel like you did here. You do good work, don't get me wrong. I love what you do

Brilliant as usual the model is really coming along btw great selection of music for this episode

Brilliant as usual Boomer. Look forward to more. - Nicholas.

Great video! Thanks for sharing your methods and tips. I notice that you don’t use gloves when cementing your builds. Are finger prints ever an issue. I use nitrile glove for my plastics work and painting. Thanks again. Your’s are the best modeling videos. Kennedy

I wish I had known about all the careers in film and theatre, it's too late for me, pending an existential crisis, I'm sticking where the money is

I believe the white labeled Plastruct cement is called Bondene. It is designed for ABS plastic as well as styrene. I don't think you are using any of Plastruct's ABS plastic in your construction. It is usually colored grey (gray) or some other color than white. I have found working with ABS plastic a little more difficult than styrene, but it is more sturdy. Some plastic modelers recommend Bondene over the orange labeled Plastruct cement because it will handle whatever kind of plastic you want to "weld".

Inspirational again Boomer 👌😎 fred

Very cool! Nicely done! Time for a cold one! ☕🍻👍

You could take artistic license for the big round pipe going up the extractor and say it is now used as a small Transloading Hopper? Another switching move? Place a different truck there every couple/ several operating sessions?

As previous comments say Boomer, your work is inspiring and educational, your uploads are becoming a Pandora's box of modelling treasures for us to explore when we hit a time during a build, 'How would Boomer approach this?' When will you let us know what movies/shows you worked on? I know I've seen your work somewhere, but where? If its a personal/private choice I totally understand, but the curiosity is growing. All the best. Brian @ The Angels

Thx for how to make the funnel shape.

Gonna use this method for a dust collector. Thanks. Gotta ask. You gonna do the handrails on the roof of the main structure too? Two small screws in a piece of wood would make a quick jig for bending wire for that, right?

Nice.

Probably used the excess for livestock feed

I see: We're processing this video. Check back later. ( 11:25am East Coast time )

In your opinion, do these solvents have any negative characteristics when it comes to painting? My natural tendency would be to try and apply it very precisely, but I guess that is wasting time. Clearly these solvents have no surface tension and wick well. My concern has been around not wanting paint to look funny if going over areas where I was “sloppy” with solvents.

So you use rod instead of strip styrene on the ribs. Interesting!

:MEK and methylene chloride. Used to be toluene.

Totally off-topic, but what is the music you often use before speaking (Vlog 52 for example)? Cheers!

Are you refering to the mixture of barley and hops because there is no such thing as barley hops. Being a home brewer I know such things. Also a typical man door is not 7 feet tall, it's 6' *". Not rying to be picky because I truly enjoy your vid's. Just thought you would like to know.

yt not finished yet :( only till 8:55

Large pipe down the side could be an overflow?

The rest could be used for animal feed mixes or fertilizer or... Marmite? 🧐

Peach keen modeling

Animal bedding and feed
