A big thanks to home brew talk

About a year ago I got my step fathers old beer making kit, Carboy bottles, bucket, racking cane, capper, and so on. he also had a 20lb co2 tank and a couple kegs. I thought this could be fun. I started with a wheat kit in a can from LHBS, found Northern Brewer on the web and ordered a couple more kits. Found HBT and started snooping around, started looking at kegging. Bought a couple taps and turned an old fridge into a kegerator,
At this point I’m brewing 5 gal per week and loving it, I start playing with recipes trying to get a beer close to New Belgium’s 1554…..that I cannot get in UT…. I now make beer I Like more! Keep in mind I’m on HBT about 3 hours a day reading and learning all I can about beer and what it takes to make great beer
All grain here I come…. I start with a 8 gal pot and my 5 gal pot for a HLT and a 5 gal cooler and brew the three recipes I have been working on with extract………WOW they are amazing what a huge difference all grain makes….I’m now in love with beer, I’ve got to make a brew rig, my friends are drinking all my beer and I can’t keep up.
Being a painter in a custom fab shop gives me some awesome tools to work with. I start looking to HBT again for the brew system that will best fit me and my needs. A natural gas 2 tier system with the mash tun set low.
I now have a great hobby, that just keeps growing and getting better, a great wife who has been super through this, and great friends who love to drink my beer.
A BIG thanks to all the people who post on HBT that I continue to learn from and be inspired by
Regards

Here are some photos of the keggles

Wow, nice!

Awesome set up!

Bonus points for getting a sight glass going on a Coors keg.

Very nice. Your stand is one of the most visually-appealing ones I've seen in some time. Any concerns about the heat of your burner messing up the tun? Kyle

I've done a run through and two 10gal brews, the mash tun stays pretty cool its about 18 inches away. A little burning around the burners is the only heat issues I've had, but that was expected.

great setup! I wish I had access to a bunch of cool tools at my job but we aren't allowed to use any of them for personal use...

Beautiful job. Great talent.

Nice! I can't wait to get my electric system built this spring. Almost ready to start designing the stand. It won't look as nice as yours I'm sure.

best. first. thread. ever.

very nice sir!
