In the a.m. Brewing the base of a raspberry wheat for the swmbo. Love brew day! I get all excited the night before!

Well I have to give credit where credit is due. Biermuncher, absolutely simple and delicious recipe. I brewed a 5 gallon batch to test out and kegged it up after fermentation. Hit crazy ass efficiency on the tower. So all kegged up and me and the swmbo had a couple friends over. My buddy is an...

Ill throw myself to the wolves. I can't say that ill never ever like it or that I hate it with a passion, however I have yet to find a barley wine that I can stand. Maybe i just haven't found a good one but the first (and last) one that I tried made me cringe. Let the flaming start lol.

First brew day all done. This thing is amazing and shaved a ton of time off my session. Everything went perfectly minus a small hiccup at the end of boil getting my hot wort through my plate chiller (damn you hop sacks and stone ipa's). All in all doing a 10 gallon batch of my house cream ale...

Look on the bright side. After nuclear war. This will be the only brew tower surviving afterwords. Yep. Alien archaeologists will ponder at the use of this crude looking instrument of human kind haha. Just mashed in. Dead nuts. This is turning out well!

Lol that ain't no lie. Heating up strike water as I type this. Sight glass and thermometer are absolutely needed for next brew session on the hlt.

Ok so the tower is all done. Sorry I haven't been on and posting updates. Tomorrow morning is the first fire up. Mounted burners and after a night of drinking Irish whiskey we decided to go straight up mechanical with this and make it look like the burners are straight up floating. We...

Probably not. And yes it's very overbuilt but I would rather have it to big and overly strong as opposed to not strong enough.

Ok. Last night stopped and grabbed up two more castors. We mounted the castors behind the leveling feet so we have as much leg as possible supporting the weight of the tower. Castors are going to be awesome for moving this around the garage and driveway!

I think I'm the one that is drunk at the end of our builds every night. All I see is my equipment turning into hot slag and ash. He keeps me calm by feeding me alcohol and explaining what he's thinking. When I see that is going TOO FAR in the over engineering side I put my 2 cents in and we...

That's cool man! Did you save any of this dead man whiskey???

Don't blame him for drinking **** beer. When he works. It keeps him happy and working. Plus keeps my cost down. Thank god he dosent guzzle iipa's like that bud crap. I'd be bankrupt.

Ok so last night I'm told that we are going to destroy my burners and "make em sexy" this used to scare me but the crazy redneck actually has some good ideas so I went over and came into the garage to my brand new kab6 that I'm using to fire my brew kettle looking like a sad version of the lunar...

So after telling him why we don't need legs that are damn near 6 feet long and able to convert my stand into a cherry picker capable of pulling a cat motor from a peterbuilt I showed him the design of base I wanted. We went with three inch sq. tubing for the main tower welded to 1/4 inch sq...
