First of all, hello! I was a lurker and just got around to registering for the forums.
I was hoping to get some guidance/ideas for building a "linear" all grain brew setup, similar to the "brewtus/brutus" setups I have seen. I would like to use 15.5 gal kegs, as I already have 1 in a "keggle" configuration, and one yet to be converted to anything. I am currently brewing with a single kettle that has a max capacity of ~ 6 gallons, so I've been doing 5 gallon batches.
I would like something along the lines of this:
.
I'm trying to get a rough gathering of materials and costs. I figure I need 3 kegs (already have 2) a false bottom kit, 2 pumps, a myriad of plumbing and ball valves, and 3 burners - not including the stand. Plus the electronics for the control panel?
I haven't been able to find very specific information on the dimensions or blueprints required to build the stand suitable for three 15.5 gallon kegs, nor the type of burners being used (right now I'm using a generic turkey fryer burner - it does the job for now).
I'm sure a lot of people here have experience with these so I was hoping I could get some input on design specs, approximate costs, and any "pitfalls" to avoid.
Thanks a bunch! :rockin:
