Wrong color though...

Is that a HERMS or a RIMS? Where is the coil?
It's used to filter the water to make your beer not the beer itself.
The only filter I know of on the Wort side would be called a Dry Hopper. Basically your filtering your wort through a canister of leaf hops. Only problem with using a water filter for that is the quantity of hops to fill the sucker at $3 /Oz from the LHBS would be insane. But what do I know I'm still working on my brew rig. It's been in my head for 10+ years now and only just starting to put it together.
chuckger said:A little off topic... but I am currently building one of these and I see that some of you have those canister water filters plummed into the system. Are you using those to filter the beer and if so what type of filter system are you using? I am interested in this so I can complete the wort circuit prelim drawings for my brew sculpture.
Thanks,
Chuck
Here is my baby....
I had to build a 30 x 50 steel building just for her.
Sweet. More pics would be cool!Here is my baby....

As I posted in this thread I felt it only fitting in posting pics of my brew frame, even though it's a work in progress. (Actually it's been more then 10 years in the planning just never got around to finishing it.) My original design was a two teir built out of an old bed frame. The prototype recently went to the land fill as I was cleaning out a bit of my garage (It was also built around a 3x 1/2 barrel keg setup.) The new single teir frame was constructed out of 1x1" square tube and 1.5X2" angle iron.
Early construction:
Adding the first burner:
First brew:
I've since added casters to the bottom legs (Peg style with welded in nuts)
I still need to add the sheet metal wind guard around the burners and add an additional burner.
It's a work in progress so the finished frame will be a bit as I'm now working on my Keezer project.
Edit: Huhmm need a bit more post b4 I can link my images sigh!
fixed that for you... you used html code instead of BB code.
looks good!
You could probably use a very coarse filter for wort if you wanted to, but I've never heard of anyone doing that, at least with a filter cartridge.
Ball Valves
I dont know the lingo but doesnt the pump need to be full of liquid to work properly? I thought you needed to prime the pump before turning it on. This way you are pumping something through it at all times and cutting back the flow by using ball valves wouldnt be ideal.

Why not? Prime pump, control flow with valve on the out put side. I thought this was how all the single tier guys were doing it.

The March beer pump is magnetic drive so it is able to slip the pump impeller and let the motor run at full RPM with ut damaging anything. If you get a direct drive pump them you do not want to use ball valves to regulate flow as you will just burn out the pump motor, but with magnetic drive ti is fine to use ball valves to regulate flow. Hope this helps.
Here ya go sparky...Sweet. More pics would be cool!
All that awesomeness and he pitches his yeast into 119° wort??Not mine but I'm in love.
