Show us your sculpture or brew rig

Pouring a pint in remembrance to the aborted beer what never got a chance to be...

so this is my rig, brauclone type thing, added the winch, cause I'm gettin old and my back is crap. Only change I'd make would be a wider stand, the current stand will tip if you swing the winch around too far. However it has tabs at the feet to bolt it down, I just need to stop reorganising the shed every 6months.

Here is my new setup. I just need to mount my switches. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1431985425.621879.jpg

Single pid eHerms and gas boil

My first brewery in apartment...

Aleaxnedr, you realize stainless steel is a reflective material, right?

Are you trying to tell me that brewing naked isn't safe?

♪♫"Chestnuts roasting on a Banjo Burner..."♫♪

Just did an initial water test and tuned the "PIDs" last night. A Kal clone with a 30A panel using Strange Brew Elsinore on a Raspberry Pi in place of the usual PID controllers. We will be adding a relay to allow the RaspPi to switch the pumps on and off via the web interface as well. Pretty fun brewing using your iPad!

Looks great!

Current setup. The large burner is a new upgrade in hopes I'll be able to heat strike water quicker. The boil burner remains a 6" banjo to help keep from boil-overs. I thought it was done, but it might not be.

New stand...

Why the TEE right before your first flex hose?

Expansion potential for burner #3 would be my guess.

Or an oil drain

or to make us question it

Willing to be the answer will be, that he used manufactured sizes and needed the fitting to connect the 2 nipples.

Great question guys...the plan was to add a 3rd burned down the road with another keggle so your correct that it's for a third flex hose

Nice keezer. I like the wood work...

I like the tree my friend, guessing your water line swivels around to fill the HLT

Correct. Shark bite fittings kick ass. 'Twas that or mount a kitchen faucet to the top. I think I chose wisely

Kind of a bad pic but redesigned the rims and plumbing and brewed an orange wheat beer yesterday with over 78% efficiency

My simple brutus 20/Breweasy style setup. I subscribe to the KISS method.

Wrong topic!

Swapped the casters for 4 inch ones. Rebuilt the gas system and added 2 banjo burners. Added control panel with BrewPi Spark on board and a Honeywell Smart Valve. With a new coat of paint it's come a long ways... do you ever stop working on your stand?

It's not much, or as fancy as most others on here but it is mine and makes killer brews!!! Someday it will be bigger and more automated but it is does what it needs to do now and is lots of fun! View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1434077233.056532.jpg

I was gonna say the same thing. Absolutely gorgeous!

For real...that VW is real nice. Oh...and nice looking set up.

Behold the BODINENSTEIN!

Jethro Bodine was into homebrewing and needed a cheap gravity-fed BIAB stand, so this is what he came up with. After moving to Beverly Hills, he realized he needed an all-copper counterflow wort chiller, so he got Uncle Jed to buy him a $200 Chillzilla and mounted it on an old board.

I won mine in the The HomeBrewTalk 2015 Big Giveaway, but I did mount it on an old board.

A work in progress. This is my stand so far.

Off topic warning - +1, on the bug, I love old VW's. I had a '65 bus when I started brewing (hence the Microbus name) and my first car was a '57 Ghia with an 1835cc engine and dual Dellortos...probably the only car I wish I never sold.
