Brewery Redesign

I've been meaning for a long time to redesign my brewery and change put on new quick connects as my old fittings were leaking (not a good idea with electricity around) ! I blew the element in my Hot Liquor Tank which I had to replace and this gave me the perfect opportunity to break down my existing set up (although I still wanted to use most of the parts). What I wanted from my new set up was.
1. Still be able to use it sitting down2. Be able to pump from anywhere to anywhere.
3. As dry as possible.
Here is a schematic of what I came up with :-











Below are the flows for the brewing steps. The colours represent the rows of valves/pumps the schematic above.
