Finally tapped into the batch of this I brewed a while back. WOW. Definitely going to do a repeat of this, it's delicious as hell and an absolute monster.

Gorgeous looking sculpture. I'm green with envy, especially of all those nice pretty welds. :D

Wow been forever and a day since I've updated this thread! Been too busy brewing :D After about 8 months and 10 batches, we've been making some incremental upgrades to the Pipe Nightmare (as we've christened the brewstand). Pops scrounged up an old sensor box from somewhere and wired us...

Yes, we made very sure that the bottom lips on both the fired vessels were drilled out. I almost needed a change of shorts when we forgot to open the HEX coil up and nearly blew a flex line, which goes at like 10psi. I don't even want to think of what would happen if you had heavy stainless...

And here's some more.... Another angle of the whole thing with our flex pipe all hooked up. You can also just make out the potable water hose there. One of the Pops Design Features™ on this stand is a nice water supply feature. The sparge arm and that dump currently hanging over the HLT...

Been a while since I updated this thread with some fresh pics. That's the bad news. The good news is that it's been a productive while! HLT with HEX coil installed Mashtun set up with false bottom and pickup. I'm pretty proud of these, we fabbed all our pickups ourselves. Pumps...

Been a while both since I've had time to work on the system and post back in here. Pops got some stuff done while I was away. Anyway, more peecturez: Mash tun up on the tippy dump, castors mounted, and keggles keggle-ized. One of the BG14s plumbed in and doing it's thing. Next...

That is right purty.

So I'd been looking to go all grain for a while now. A few months ago, I got a nice phone call from dad saying he'd laid his hands on a pump skid that his work was throwing out, and could I think of any use for a hundred linear feet or so of 304 stainless angle of various sizes. "Why yes...

If that's what's really in there, JB should rename his system to the 'Special Saucetem'

That is an awesome basement. Prosted this thread so hard I think I hurt my finger...

Tapped my batch this weekend for a UFC party, was a big hit with everybody that tried it. I did a late addition of sweet orange peel to my boil, and then served with a slice of lime floating in the beer. This stuff loooooves citrus and the flavor came out great. Looks like I'm going to have...

Too late for me unfortunately. I hope I can avoid an autosiphon full of blueberries by wrapping some cheesecloth around the business end when I rack.

Started this recipe yesterday. Cheap, nice easy boil, and it's going bonkers in primary as I speak. Threw in a little sweet orange peel just cause it seems like it'd go well with citrus. Definitely looking forward to the results. Thanks for the recipe BM!

Thanks for the recipe mgayer. This was my first attempt at mead, so I'm hoping it'll come out well :tank:
