My Home brewing projects...

[fermentednonsense]

I'm new to home brewing, however I've been researching for a couple years because I don't want to extract brew I want to just dive in and go all grain I'll update this thread as my projects grow Hope you like them.

This is my Keg Cutting Rig... Based off of Bobby J's design, only slightly modified

Funny how there are so many ways to skin a cat, per se. I was all set on a keg cutting jig ala Bobby, but when I finally got around to it - 20min, 3 cutting wheels, and using the blade guard to set the distance and I had 3 perfectly good keggles. Love the jigs, but not sure how necessary they are. Someone had a post where they also used them to cut false bottoms (3/32 holed SS) - now that's planning ahead. Looking good no matter how you seal the deal!

Why the pink tape on your slipper?

Why the pink tape on your slipper?

That is a great question!

 

[Reaver]

That is a great question!

Almost as good as "What does 'NI' mean on your pump box?"

 

[jonos7]

That is a great question!

So you know its the left side I'll bet

 

[fermentednonsense]

Haha those are SWMBO's "fixed" birkenstocks.. as for the NI, it is so I know input vs. output. Its just upside down. I eventually will put a a nice engraved plate to place it

Here's another one of my projects. I modified the "ebay" temp controller to be 2 stage with each stage having its own outlet. Cooling will control the fridge, and an ac fan mounted on the coils to move the cold air, and heating will of course control a heater inside my ferm chamber

Nice dude. Kind of like how I started. Built all the peripheral crap without ever having brewed.
Totally worth it though.

 

[OhCrap]

Nice work
I'm in the middle of building mine, your box for the STC controller gave me the answer of how to mount mine, lots of off cuts leftover. Keep up the good work

 

[fermentednonsense]

Thanks guys! I love the DIY aspect of brewing, as well as the brewing itself of course

 

[Riddei]

I'm addicted to building stuff now

 

[fermentednonsense]

Ha I know you are. You're the macgyver of homebrewing

 

[Riddei]

I built my sixth stirplate today. I am working out the problems with the magnet placement and the speed control. I had to take apart the 2x2 fan and rewire it. I used super glue and electrical tape LOL. I think I may keep three at my house. one battery and 2 corded.

 

[fermentednonsense]

Your stir plates are awesome!
