^^^ Pretty dang clever. VERY well done!
Also agreed, brilliant! Great space saver idea. I still need to figure out a proper storage mechanism for my setup. It's sprawling, for sure!

First time posting and I have to give a lot of credit to this thread. A lot of my ideas and plans came from all the different sculptures on here.
I will eventually get a rolling, single tiered system like a lot of you have, but I simply do not have the room yet. I was lucky enough to have room for a storage shed to put everything in. I used to pull everything out and set it up on chairs but decided just to mount everything inside the shed instead.
Check it out!
No, that is my RIMS heat exchanger. Temperature probe on top and electric heat element in the bottom.

Here is my counterflow chiller. Pretty basic copper tube inside a hose. I think I got about 30' in it before I couldn't slide it in anymore.
Here is my work in progress. I've just recently finished it. I'm working on the control panel currently. Also the grain mill station.
Here is my setup. Nothing fancy but it works and makes a lot of beer.

Jimmy_B said:This is my BIAB setup that I mash in a cooler. I was aiming for something compact and easy to clean. I pump strike water from the pot to the cooler then gravity feed my runnings to the kettle (with the bag still in the cooler - no lifting involved). I don't bother with a mashout or sparge as I can hit 78% mash efficiency without either. The stand collapses and sets up in about 20 seconds.
Please tell me you have a link to that giant bag you use for mashing...that'd save me so much time cleaning up! Not to mention reduce tannins from the grain!
Holly crap dude. Only 1 question: What do you do once it get cold in Winterpeg? 'cause that will steam up a garage:rockin:

Huaco, you used the original openings of the kegs as tri-clover drain fittings that run through the top of the table, yes? Trying to remember back when you were doing your build thread...
Aright, no one shoot me please, I did search and still couldn't find a solid answer...
What is the typical cost of having a single tier brew sculpture welded together? For materials and labor.

I lived in Greenville for about 3 years... well, Simpsonville actually.
Anyway, Cost could vary wildly. This all depends on what material you use, the complexity, etc. Even the same brew stand could vary price quite a bit depending on what shop you get to fabricate it. Best advice I could tell you is to ask around to your buddies... Who knows... you never know who will have a welder and experience.
To your question though, I can't tell you because as you see, I built my stand out of wood.

Or, do what others and myself have done and go "weldless". Much much cheaper (~$150 in materials for a single tier, 3 station stand), easily cut the sections of strut with a metal cutoff blade, design it however you like, have the ability to change it at any time by cutting a new piece, removing a few bolts, and inserting the new piece, have all the strength in the world, have attachment points all over the place to put whatever you want on it with a nut and bolt, and build it on your own time in your garage. Only tools needed are a saw with cutoff wheel, steel file, and socket wrench. Put mine together in 30 mins after the sections were cut.

New three tier stand hurricane burners work great on the Natural gas lines! The lowest stand is designed as a portable. I have a low pressure regulator so I can use it with a propane bottle.[/quot
Check a scrapyard for used angle iron much cheaper to use. Mine was used 2" angle iron. my pictures are on page 187 post #1870
Like MonsterMash says, it depends. In my case, the cost of labor to weld and materials (2" mild steel box tubing) was around $800. That does not include casters, burners, high temp. paint, gas plumbing, bolts, nuts or taking it back to have something added, i.e., another burner windscreen that I should have had them put on there in the first place but I never thought I would be direct firing my mashtun.
