Way back in April we took a look at one of the more popular features here on HomeBrewTalk, the Brew Setups Registry. If you havent visited this section, go check it out. This is where our membership lets us know more about their brewing rigs, and it gives us an opportunity to stare with longing at systems we can only dream of, but are prohibited from having due our personal limitations, be them financial, space-related, or in my case, you have a terminal case of stupid hands and lack the ability to assemble anything close to these works of art.

Today we take a look at five more brew setups, if only to share for a moment the dream of dreams. Dedicated brew-spaces with big shiny things in them!
DeBrewer's Home Brewery is first up. Added to the registry by DeBrewer, it's 20 Gallon pots with electric elements,4 Fast Ferment Conical Fermenters, DudaDiesel 30 plate and Chugger pump with electric valves makes it a force to be reckoned with. With it's unique styling it's just as much a piece of art as it is a brew setup. For more on this amazing build and how it came to be follow this link.

Next we're taking a look at Mientcat Brew Works brought to us by mmient. Taking up a limited portion of their garage, mmient has utilized 20 Gallon SS electric kettles, Custom DIY chamber with glass fermenters, and Duda 30 plate completed with 2 SS Chuggers, all SS Camlocks, valves, and plumbing. For any garage brewer this is a setup to aspire too.

We're leaving the garage now and headed to the basement to take a look at Paradigm Brewing submitted by MSKBeerfan. It's built out with Blichmann Kettles turned into Electric Boilers, a Temp Controlled Conical, a Fast and FuriousPlate Chiller, and Dual Pumps.
***
Moving on, we're taking a look at kickflip_mj's ImObersteg Brewery. This is a fully automated system with 3x 26 Gallon bottom drain Megapots, 2x Honeywell Intermittent Pilot light systems with banjo burners, Volume measurement using pressure sensors , and full Automation including Brewtroller/ touchscreen interface. To control femrentation temperatures kickflip uses industrial fridges with Johnson controllers for temp control.

Last, but certainly not least is a brew rig I find myself staring at ever since it was added to our registry if only because it's one of the shiniest brew rigs to ever be featured in our community. Roadie provided us with a few pics of his Almost Famous Brewing.
