View attachment 572041 View attachment 572041 This rig is powered by 240 VAC, 60 amp GFCI. The BK has two 5500 W ULWD elements and can have 22 gal of wort boiling in about 15 min. It sets in a 240 SQ. ft building I built myself spray foam insulation all around (with a little help from my friends). It has a mill room and a fermentation room. I designed and built the system myself. Works great

Unless there are pics of said “brew shed” it doesn’t exist.
Post them up so we can all see your brew space and drool.
Ok here is a pic of the shed. Did the pics of the equipment upload? I get an error msg that file is too big. Any suggestions??Unless there are pics of said “brew shed” it doesn’t exist.

Nice. I work at 80/20 [emoji3]
@Brewbuzzard. I made it out of plywood, 2x4, j-channel, screws and caulk. I can’t remember if I found a thread here on HBT, or TheElectricbrewery.com. I’ll search around. White part is FRP panel.

Update:
Found the HBT thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/5-1-2-foot-diy-hood-for-approx-75.371453/
Can you see this? I'm much better at brewing than this F*#king phone.

Brew tree I designed and built in 2007. Had the stand professionally welded since I am horrible at that skill. We call it the "Tower of Power. Each vessel has a 55,000 BTU burner (propane).
Built this out of a fragrance stand that was being scrapped and a stainless countertop I found at my grandparents. Works great! I had to cut the stand down and re weld some of the box steel up for the gravity fed HLT.
It’s still a work in progress, I need to figure out a way to hang some hooks to put the lids.

Hotrod from Brewhardware. I have one in my system. Nice!
Couldn't open it. With a name like Tower of Power the pic was blocked because it either resembles a part of the male Anatomy, Frank Zappa complained, or John Blickmann has the patent for his tower of power. Hmmmm?

Brewbuzzard: Thanks for your reply and comment. Yes in that shot the tank is too close to run the burner under our hlt safely, but it’s now been converted to an electric here’s kettle, controlled by a PID in the panel, so we very rarely use the hlt burner these days. The o2 tank lives against the wall to the left, and is only moved into place for knocking out. We plan to give it a longer hose and quick disconnect in the future. Right now it’s connected with a hose barb and clamp. There is always room for improvement!!

You’re good. It’s showing up now. Nice setup.
Now I see it, looks nice.
Here is my HERMS system. Thinking about going electric once I get my new garage built.
Here’s a system I cobbled together to hold me over until I get my electric brewery installed and running. Been slow returning to brewing since my move from south Jersey to Florida.

AMAZING! What a thing of wonder and joy.
First post in a couple years just because I saw this (I've been brewing the whole time).
Just about to add new video about the smoker and grill stuff.. most likely tomorrow! Hope you enjoy!
I may as well hop on the bandwagon here. I used some of the ideas posted here for my Grainfather brew stand which some of you will recognize. I implemented something that I haven't seen before and that is a swing-out table for the chiller. Thanks goes to Fred Flintstone for the pipe design. Special thanks goes out to the "Our Gang" kids school of carpentry.
Debuting yesterday, I have a double wide brew stand on wheels. With a work bench, storage space and my water iron filters mounted to the side. The extra elevation given from the wheels makes it easier on my back when stooping over the Grainfather.

Looks very nice. I have a sink something like yours.
That is beautiful! Does it do time travel as well?
Well thanks! I am happy you liked my little project
I am just working on a youtube channel and have added few videos there. Just today I added new video about the grill and smoker I buit to my cabin. go and take a look if you are interested:

You need to ask?
I've seen similar yellow flex hoses used with bg14s, so I'm going to say "yes".
Cheers!

I used the same size on my old gas rig and had no supply problem. The point that did give me issues was the valve I used. I used a regular gas ball valve which did not have as smooth an operation as a needle valve. The ball valve dumps too much gas all at once and can blow out the pilot light and remove your eyebrows.

Brewbuzzard, what did you use to control the solenoid?
Just a manual switch. The pilot light was before the solenoid. It could just as well have been a PID and relay. I was planning to add an electric control panel but decided to go all electric and built a building to put it in so I did away with propane. Now I need to sale the gas rig

Loving the mail boxes - as long as the backs were cut out.
You can easily cook a Chugger motor to thermal shutdown with inadequate ventilation...

The backs are gone...and now so is the bottom. Maybe a stronger box would support it better but after a run through, I wasn’t happy with the support. The pumps are now mounted to the frame with the arches installed as covers. I probably would fare better with just rolling steel, but these were cheap enough to cut apart.
Other issues I’m running into:
1. Back flow into pots when I stop the pump
2. Best way to clear the lines after shutting off the pump
Not sure what you mean by back flow when the pump stops. If needed, I'll close a valve somewhere.
As far as wort in lines, I chalk that up as lost liquid unless I can salvage some of it with out spilling it all.

When I stop the pump, the liquid start flowing back up into my mash tun. I just need to remember to close valve first, I just wasn’t expecting that to happen.

When you stop pumping, the liquid will flow until the pressure due to gravity is equalized. If you've been pumping uphill, then yes, backflow happens. Get in the habit of shutting the discharge valve then immediately stopping the pump.
To clear wort from the pump and lines, I add clean water to the kettle and use it to push the remaining wort out of the system. You need to be able to see the discharge to be able to tell when the color changes. Even with my small rig, this saves a couple bottles of beer.
