I did start with a design like augiedog suggests but then saw a candie cane shaped one with a mister from stout tanks and thought I'd give it a try, it works pretty good but I think I will add more length and misters to chill it quicker, that hose to the drain is 1" id and I think that is key...

Heres some pics of the condensate stack as well as the soap tanks I started with and hop back I'm building. This is 4 years of home brew and dreaming although admittedly with a future dream of going pro! But for now I'll continue to feed family and friends! The system is approximately 1.5bbl.

Thanks everyone. Johnnyrotten you'll be happy to know those ssrs have already been replaced!!:)

Here's some more!

We have also enlarged our hop yard and grown our own barley this year!

Years ago I posted my system build in the automated brewing category, after ruining my wife's kitchen I thought a full out automated rig would be the way to go. As my system came together I could not at first afford electric valves etc. so I used manual valves and got to the point when I...

The hop rocket is actually plumbed to the manifold with pumps I whirl pool through it then pump through plate chiller works great. If you look at pic of post previous to the last you can see the plumbing.

Thanks very much< Heres some pics of chuggers in and ready!! Just playing with ferm chamber and kegerator now!

After some first brews system worked decent, but added a blichmann hop rocket for extra filtration before pumps and endless possibilities there after!! Also just bought two chugger pumps as on of my little black ones scared me a couple times slowing and stopping then running fine again! P.S...

Count me in! That would change things up a bit!!

Countrygravy, thanks for the complements. Theres also some cars around here you might like, but thats for another forum!! The hops are great fun but now lots of work we started with a dozen and now are starting 1200 rhizomes!! Jgalati, the relays and ssr's are controlled directly from the...

I posted some of my build and then read this thread. Seems to be just what I did as well. I went with the brewtroller because of the extra features, but had started with an EBS 50A basic kit and now do have alot of extra switches and lights!! Also went through a couple of the key switches the...

50 amp build to facilitate back to back brews. Two 5500w elements. Brewtroller controlling pumps and temps right now, will replace ball valves with electric as funds allow!! Quick connects on all hoses for clean up etc. 12v pumps for now will see how they fair! Panel wired for 110v pumps as...

Please feel free to critique as its still not complete and the bulk of ideas came from this forum! Have a "skin" being made to label and dress up panel front.

I may have lied there are some pics of the beginning!!
