Nicest rigs on HBT

Alright I just have to list my 3 favorite rigs on here. Mine are in no specific order.

1.) Lehr's stainless two tier
2.) Seabee John's level 1
3.) Pol's electric two tier

Please chime in with your picks...

I am honored, thanks.

Here is the E-HERMS Brew Beast v2.1 with the sight gauges and silicone tubing installed.

I nominate BM's Boil kettle

This thread can go to the gutter in 60 seconds. I hope you realise that!

Go check out ClaudiusB's setup...

There was a thread on here with lots of people posting up their rigs..... some of them were downright amazing.... one guy had re-purposed some stainless steel pool filters - that was a gorgeous rig.

Fixed it, some.

BrewPastor.

John Beere (I'm hoping that this isn't a posthumous award; I'm not sure how much he was able to save from the flood).

I vote
Cluadius
The Pol (because that's the one I plan on copying)
The new guy Jonathan

I am partial to my own but, I'd nominate Brewpastor or Claudius.

Man, I hope you are referring to the JJ of young. Otherwise, that'd be an insult.

Kladue should be in there somewhere

If you have been on here longer than a few days then you know what ones I am talking about.

Let me add then... "Your post on this thread is worthless without your choices."

I think there should be categories for most A. overindulgent use of industrial parts, B. ugliest but practical rigs, C. pure works of art types.

By far, I think Claudius in the A category. Nicksteck's is a solid C.



Apparatus is a solid C too but would score higher points for three identical vessels. Now I'm just nit picking of course..

Oh I had mistaken Seabee John with Nicksteck's rig. This is the one I meant. Sorry John.

So put him in your list.
This is for "Your personal 3 favs".

I definitely drool over Brewpastor's. That's about the most excellent thing I've ever seen.

How come nobody picked mine?

Maybe because it is like mine? I had a HERMS with a heating coil with adjustable temps achieved by jamming a wooden spoon through the coil and rasing it out of the HLT to the desired level. Maybe I should find the pics?

It's about the nicest looking brewery. Not the brewer.

Kladue is a solid "over indulgent use of industrial parts" candidate. It's kinda like Randy Mosher's buck a pound brewery.

Disqualified!! The use of attractive lady models is just cheating!

I keep forgetting about all these great setups.
There was another great one that sat behind a dude's bar. The walls were red. That's all I remember.

They are all waaaaay far better than what I have almost somewhat partially finished - not yet - soon.

However it really is the end product that counts and the only fair way to judge is for everyone involved to send me and a few other judges a case or so of brew!

btw - not implying that I am a judge - in fact I have a really limited taste profile for beer (Imperial IPA at the moment).

I had to search around a little - it was Monster Mash for his username - but here's his rig:

Yes, I do love Monster Mash's rig. But I think I liked it even more as a three tier. Those gleaming pool filters on high was such a sight!

Thanks guys.
Please keep in mind each system is designed for each users requirement and needs.
I don't think one system is better than the other.
My problem has always been "I never got the chance to start as a most homebrewers".

Cheers,

Years in the making...



Sorry I have nothing constructive to add. There are some seriously badass rigs in this thread and I am suitably humbled.

Speaking of badass, where's BM's boil kettle? LGI invoked it, I thought the picture would instantly follow.

That's awesome! Haha...

Thanks for making me laugh with a homebrew in my hand.

I'll throw Wayne1's rig into the mix, because I think the diverter panel is primo brewporn.
