Those Stout kettles are pretty massive. Hope to get one of these one day!

Here's mine. I designed and built it as well as the building. All electric works great. I hired out the Tig welding though, don't have the rig or the skills on that.

Blichmann tower, Fast fermenter neoprene jackets that I constructed and chiller set up. Keeps 4 fermenters at a consistent temp.

Can you share details on how you made the jackets?

Looks like heating duct insulation taped together with aluminium duct tape.

Oh, if you're talking to me thereefspot is correct. I picked up some rolls of duct wrap and the aluminum tape. I measured and cut hole so everything fits snug.

I was looking at the neoprene ones in this post by @Wade2900

15gallon Brew Boss setup with Spike CF5 and glycol chiller. Brewing a Pseduo Sue Clone at the moment and watching Tiger win the Masters! Although in the pic I’m watching Liverpool vs Chelsea this was earlier!

Homemade glycol chiller? Is the build posted anywhere?

Sorry didn’t post the build thread. I did research and find on these forums somewhere. It was a pretty easy build using a $100 ac unit from Target. I built a box then slid it under my fermenter table.

There was an article in BYO a few years back that gave details of the build. I'll find it and give you the year and months.

My Electric Brewery clone with 3 20/Gal pots

Been adding to my King Kooker cart for about 6 years. Love this thing. Added a pump, switch, GFCI, mounted a rims tube and controller. I wanted to build my own, but you can't beat this for $127 on amazon.

4 vessels on a deck:
2 Inveted keggle,
1 brew pot and
1 dog that loves to drink beer [emoji482]

Our weldless strut brew stand and controller stand, made with all 13/16" strut. It turns on end for storage.

Looked at the first picture and thought “looks like it turns on the end for storage. I wonder what they do with the kettles...” then I see the second picture and my mind is blown.

Bravo.

Just, Bravo.

I wonder if you could hinge the shelves to make it easier to transition from vertical to horizontal. That's a neat project. Nicely done!

Hops can be very bad for dogs
I'm a dog lover, they are my favorite people.

Very cool!

New HERMS keggle rig all tidied up in the brew shed with the fermenter.

I cut down the stainless table so that the keggles are at waist height.

Next i have to finish building the "toolbox" pump box...

What is the large can thingy a cooler?

My rolling brewery. Everything needed for brew day contained on one cart. Unpack it, brew, pack it back up and roll in for storage.

That's my fermentation chamber. Got an old Redbull cooler as scrap. Added and Inkbird and heating mat to make a great 5gal fermentation chamber

Looks like the distant pump head in your pic is up-side-down...

Cheers!

Sharp eye @day_trippr!

I rotated the one head to test having the two pumps both flow "outward".

Here is my single tier setup. The maiden voyage was two weekends ago and some minor tweaks are needed. The burners store on the lower shelf but sit on top when in use. Natural gas conversion. I can also roll it around as it is on locking casters. Also made an overly complicated fly sparge arm...

My recent system

Started putting together part of my grain mill yesterday.

@toms_Jeep that is one beefy chunk of aluminum for your mounting plate!

I wanted to have the 4 adjustment slots to allow tightening of the gear belt I was using. 1/4 plate allowed the 4 6mm socket head screws to be counter bored.
Here is the plate I made.

Nice work! I like the cog belt idea. It should greatly reduce the side loading on the bushings / bearings.

My laundry room brewery

I’m digging the vent-a-hood. Very ingenious!

Quality work @toms_Jeep

I’ve moved to a minimal sparge method using room temp water instead of having a separate HLT & have enjoyed having one less vessel to deal with. It’s amazing how simpler brew day is when you’ve got a dedicated bench for your gear.
