Default 5 Thumbs Brew Sculpture

Below is a link to the initial progress of our brew sculpture. This is such a dream come true.

The other two burners, pumps, chiller and control panel will be hopefully be completed this week.

I'll comment my friend! I friggin LOVE it so far! Please keep the pics coming our way. And if you would allow, I would love to put a pic this on my Brutus Ten page on my website...

So you have given it a wider stance... Ascetically, that looks VERY pleasing to the eye! I am assuming you will have it on casters as well?

Nice job... Nothing like a good looking TIG weld.

Lonnie - Thanks for the props! Feel free to add as many pics as you'd like as you are the inspriation for our brew sculpture build.
PS - Yes, we'll have it on casters.

Very beefy, I like the look. Excellent work. What are you using for kettles?

My brew buddy's father-in-law was able to get a good deal on the stainless tubing. The stainless cost roughly $300. We haven't totaled all the components yet, but most of it has been funded via fantasy sport winnings. Nothing like a hobby supporting another hobby!
