The Brewhemoth - mega picture thread

[nostalgia]

Just got my Brewhemoth today! I'm not going to caption all the pictures, but a few observations:

- The steel is nice and heavy.
- The finish on the stainless is a *lot* nicer than I expected. It's very nice to look at.
- The welds look nice, but have a bit of surface rust on the inside. A little Bar Keeper's Friend should fix that right up.
- The legs end up tilting in very slightly, making it a bit tippy. I'll be bolting it to a stand, so not a big deal for me.
- The nuts on the feet are welded on only one side. A little chintzy for such a nice product.

Let me know if there are any specific pictures you'd like. I tried to get shots of all the important bits. All of the hardware is from Darren over at Brewer's Hardware. Can't recommend him enough.

Maybe place a couple of flat washers behind the legs on the lower bolts. That would angle the legs out a little bit and resolve the tippy-ness.

I can't tell with the weld for the bottom dump, but the other welds are not rusting. This is normal discoloration from the temperatures of welding. It is nothing to worry about.

Thanks cfrazier, good to know. I wasn't going to worry about it anyway

Going to try to do some volume tests today to see where the liquid covers the chiller/thermowell.

Nice ! What is that hopz robot thing. I remember something about that.

Are those valves and fittings included? Their website is a little vague.

jojo: that's my Benderator photobombing the Brehemoth

kgalle: no, none of that stuff was included. It all came from Brewer's Hardware. If you check out Brewhemoth's Tri-Clover Brewhemoth page it says:

1" Tri-clover fitting for #5-1/2 rubber stopper or attachments (not included)
1-1/2" Tri-clover bottom fitting for fast yeast removal (valve not included)
1" racking Tri-clover fitting makes moving beer to keg or bottling bucket easy (valve not included)

Hmm, the one pic of the chiller reminds me mine is missing the hop bag loop.
