So, after looking at the simple setup that WortMonger uses for his 3-tier system (i.e., one center steel tube with the kegs bolted to it), I was looking at building one. This is when I noticed the already installed, 9' tall steel tube in my driveway. Is there any reason I couldn't just drill...

I have been working on my brew rig for just about a year now and it is up and running with the bugs worked out. I now have a bit of time to go through and document what I did for the community's use. I have been a shameless lurker up to this point and am now coming out of the shadows. Kal asked...
I spent a lot of time designing my brew rig. As a college professor, I have a lot of friends with skills that were useful in creating my equipment. I designed and made my own boil kettle (with the help of the welding professor), as I was getting ready to make the conical, I found a Stout conical...

This brew rig all started with one of those Mr. Beer kits I got for my birthday. Reading more and more about homebrewing and once being bit by the homebrew bug, my space demands did grow with my equipment accumulated.
Long story short, my wife kicked me out of our kitchen and demanded back the...
This brew rig was made from old components and scrap materials.the kettle and later started as one tank. It was a 200l 20ga. wine tank that had a large Crack in the seam. I cut it in half. Made a bottom for the top half and welded it in. Installed a total discharge on the side at the bottom...
