My Brutus Build
|
|
Wow....its been a long road with this build, but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Its nothing fancy. We mostly followed Lonnie's plans and added a few changes as we went along. The frame and the kegs we all TIG welded so it took a bit longer, but the final product looks amazing. Standard 2 x 2 x.120 square tube steel. No stainless steel since it would of been about 1k more for materials alone.
Here it is at being put together. And jigs have been made just in case we want to make anymore 
Heres a shot of those beautiful TIG welds. I need a better camera really bad
Heres a little change we came up with. THe control box arm is on a hinge that can be folded up for storage.

And here it is extended
Here another change. We added some retaining rings to keep those kegs in place during the process
Back side gas through tube
And for the money shot....
Now for the fun part. I need to find the electrical box Im going to use, then wire this baby up. I have all the components so as soon as I decide on the box assy should go quick

That is pretty sweet. Got a cost breakdown without the kegs? (iron, pumps, components, etc)

How did you fabricate the keg retainer rings?
