No, vinyl decal

Kill-a-watt that name sounds familiar. I thought another HBTer used that name then left the forum mysteriously?

You mean some one who also used 2 blingmans with very familiar fitting arrangement?

Very cool build. Even more cool after seeing it run (it really is very elegant in its simplicity). The only problem I have with it is the ideas it gave me are going to cost me a lot of money.

Join date is similar to exit date. Awful lot of posts in a few months, and I remember him saying he was planning to build these and sell them. Interesting!! Could "The Pol" be back????????

Nice build WillyNilly. That should be fun to brew on.

It isn't the complete "sculpture" but the beginnings of the controller box. Any comments to improve it are welcome.

Thanks

Couldn't have made this system without the help of HBT. A brutus 10/DITCHES design.

pickles; now that's what i've been talking about for so long about heat sinks, finally one is posted and it's yours congrats. I see you used Firestone kegs of which I have one vs needing another Anheuser Bush keg instead of a mismatch build. My keg has the imbossed windows at both skirt ends.

My 'collection of parts is getting closer to my brew ring.
At least I can still brew along the way.

Do you have a more detailed set of pics, or a thread? I'd love to see more inverted keg electric systems, I think I'm headed that direction myself.

Yeah, pickles, lets see and hear more about that setup. Sweet!

Just finished her last weekend. Brewed the very next day and couldn't be happier

Outputs on the bottom of the pumps, interesting. Any problems with priming?

How do you get hot water into the mash tun on those tall rigs?

I get cold water in to my HLT like this, then pump to MLT when at strike temp.

BrewBeemer is definately drunk... an I'm 100% sure that willynilly is not The Pol... He just cloned his system (sans suicide plug.)

No diatonic i'm straight as a child molesting preacher no alcohol being back on percocets again the back got me down with a walker in house. No disrespect to others it's just me with my gruff German no wishy washy replies. Yeah that wacked out death trap plug was a winner big time, maybe my "Code Book NAZI" replies helped get rid of the weasel? I do not miss his nasty PM's either. It seems rather strange like was posted above that date weasel left a new name signed up??? I'll trade ya using 8 Percosets a day for a home brew anytime I hate meds and drugs. PROSIT, not PROST 100% German here.

Here is my stand:









It's still a work in progress, but it does the job for 10 gallons of wholesome malty goodness!

I posted this in the picture forum, but didn't notice this thread until today.

Completely stoked to have landed this "new" brewstand.

Actually, there's a sentimental story behind this sucker. I successfully bid on this during an auction where the proceeds go directly to my local homebrewer's association. It was actually designed and built by one of the association's founding members - who unfortunately passed away many years ago. I was happy to participate in this auction and land this brewstand, which came about well before the homebrewing market started to ascend. I guess it's on to all-grain!

I have a larger cooler I plan on using for a mash tun, but you get the point nonetheless.













WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Great job! Once you've gone all-grain you'll never go back. It's nice and compact - just be careful with that HLT. Maybe a little new paint, but WTH, it's ready to brew!

I made my ghetto stand "slightly" less ghetto by adding some wall paneling I found in the garage attic. Still cost me a grand total of $0...

I'm here to make you all feel much better about your equipment...

Yeah...I've yet to receive this (will get it next week), but I'm def. gonna take it slow & safe.

I kinda like the chippy paint job it's got!

Here's mine. I put the finishing touches on yesterday, and brewed a fresh hop APA on her last night. Much better than lifting those keggles up and down off of my wifes gardening table. It's powered by 2 high pressure burners and an adjustable regulator from agrisupply.com. The 1" square tube and expanded metal came from S&S metals in Reno for $70. I welded it up with a friends MIG. Grinding and painting is in the works, but I just couldn't wait to use it once it was functional. I found the plans for it at the Google Sketchup Wharehouse http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=cc3a8a78b94d2745befb94a335d281b8&prevstart=0 The plans sure look a lot like Dude's stand from page 2 of this thread.

To those with the BK super low like this. I assume you're using an IC and then just lifting the full fermenter somewhere to drain?

That's exactly what I had to do. I just put it up on the MLT shelf and drain it from there. Not ideal, but I didn't want to make the HLT any higher. I envision a pump system in the future. To pump water up to the HLT from the BK, and to drain/cool the BK.

Almost there.
I just need to finish up a few things. box the burners in, then paint.

It should be 100% gravity, even to the fermenter.

Here's mine, but it is not quite finished. Several more things to do and add.

It is a 5 gallon rig right now, but I have an MLT cooler for 10 gallon future brews.

Salute!

This is a Pinupbrewery rig
