Here is my attempt at using a power wheel motor. I'm still finalizing the design, but it looks like it might work. I still need to drop some grain in to see how it performs. I designed (albeit roughly) and 3d printed the cog/lovejoy coupling. Pretty pleased with the fitment. Hoping it will hold...

I'm wondering if anyone has tried the condenser lid on the 80 qt Concord pots? I chose these for my electric brewery, but I'm really liking the idea of the steam condenser lid vs a hood. 80 qt Concord pots @SpikeBrewing do you guys know if your 20 gallon lid would fit?

A quick update to the status of my brewery. I've finally finished the brew sculptures. I'm now in the process of finalizing where I want to place the pump shelf; centered or over to the right on the sculpture. I've run into a problem in that my chugger pump cords aren't long enough to reach my...

A small update. Managed to get a few coats of urethane and a couple of coats of paste wax on the tables. Also temporarily placed the counter flow chiller and pump shelf. Getting really excited about finishing things up. Still need to do a final leak test on all equipment. But things are moving...

More progress on the brew stands. I’m really ready to get these finished so I can get the brewery set up for a test run. Need a couple of more coats of paint and then some poly.

Well I finally got the lower shelves installed and threw on a couple of quick coats of spray paint before the rain came in. Still need to hit them a couple of more times and thinking about applying some urethane to them since I’ll be dealing with water. I’m really liking the way they have turned...

I'll take a code!

I haven't added the tippy dump to this version yet. I wanted to just get a structure built so that I can actually get back to brewing. As for holding things in place, I believe I will use a combination of SS hooks and turnbuckles to grab ahold of the handles and then have some type of wooden lip...

A quick little update. Top and casters installed on the little table. Also test fitted the control panel. Now to add shelves to both units and paint or stain them. So close to brewing again! Cheers!

Well I had one day of sunny weather this weekend. I was able to get the top and casters mounted on the little table. I also test fitted the control panel. I’m really happy with the way it’s turned out so far. Still need to install shelves on the bottom and then either paint or stain them. I did...

A little update on my brew sculpture. I've managed to make both stand frames and have added the top to the large frame. This has been a labor of love as I'm using leftover lumber from when we built our house. I've planed every piece down so that they are all the same thickness and ripped them to...

A small update on the brew stands. Frames are complete. Hopefully going to start on the top and shelf tomorrow. These things are sturdy as hell!

Probably mentioned somewhere else in the thread, but do you have links to the adapters you used to connect the ball lock to tubing going to the pump?

I'll be on the lookout to see if you go silent on here 😆 And these are the cork mats i ordered.

Good stuff. Looks clean. I can't wait to get mine completed. I'm itching to get back to brewing again.

I agree completely about the ease of reaching the panel, hence the reason for the mobile panel cart. It only makes sense to me to be able to move it closer. By the way, by the looks of your thumbnail, it looks as though you have the V2 panel from SS Brewing. If so, how do you like it? I was...

Haha! I guess I'll be joining the 'delicate' club! As for the heat issue, I have cork pads under each kettle so I don't anticipate the heat being an issue. The wood will also be stained and have a few coats of poly on top of that. Hopefully with it being fully electric, heat (scorching)...

Oh you know I will be reaching out at some point! I'm chomping at the bit to get brewing with this thing!

Thanks day_trippr! My plan was to make a very solid stand. I'd like for it to last as long as possible. I agree on the curbing recommendation and it was something I had already planned to, I just hadn't added it to my sketchup. But thanks for reiterating the fact that I should def have it. As...

Well I'm finally back at it again after a super long hiatus. I received my panel from Kal and Spike Innovations and can't say enough good things about the quality of this panel. I finally got all of my weldless fittings installed and now have 1 or 2 really small leaks I'm chasing. I plan to...
