post your plumbing

I think it would be cool if everyone posted pics of their rig's plumbing. From manifolds to disconects. I will post some of mine when I finish my setup.

 

Good Call! Stainless and copper plumbing :rockin:

 

That is Insane!

 

That is just sick! Great job!

 

schawing ow woba woba woba Now thats what I am talking about. Freakin sweet dude.:rockin:


dude it wouldnt let me copy your sweet pictures

 

How did I miss this? Awesome!
I had the first brew with my new rig this weekend, and with all the bling and technology I packed in it, It was a pain having to switch hoses.
I will definately hard plumb from kettle to pumps, and most probably the rest also.
Love the sight glasses also.
Anybody else? I'm lookin for inspiration

 

Try stainless steel quick connects. I had the same problem with hoses and was frustrated to say the least. I purchased quick connects for every connection and the hoses connect instantly. I personally don't like hard plumbing because you'll have the same issues when you have to clean.

Cheers,

 

I don't even know enough to understand what's going on in that picture but I like it.

 

dlester, I have SS QDs on all my hoses, except at the kettle/sensor, and the RIMS tube.
I WAS missing a couple of fittings, so It DID require more work than it should have.

 

what the heck , you can't start a picture thread with that, you need to hold back on that stuff for like a page or two, or nobody else will want to show off their spaghetti! sheesh!

 

exactly! If you think I am going to now post a pic of the copper pipe I sweated together and the brass garden hose connectors I use all over the place, you are out of your f*cking mind.

 

man, you guys are crazy. my entire system cost less than what's under that table-top.

 

It looks more like a shrine to the beers gods.

 

Man, makes me feel like a real wanka.

 

Is that a touch screen above the Brewtroller? I want a pic with it on. That thing is f*#&%^$ amazing. Nice touch with the cat six for control in the wall plate.

 

extra shower space...hrm what to do with it?

oh I know build bad ass SS brewery

<====== Jealous

well that is NOT fair.... now i do not have tubing, but damn, 2 epic showings and now everyone is scared to show their stufs!

 

rabed25, I am confused, there are only 2 vessels there, how the heck does this work, my head hurts.

 

I snapped a few pictures during my brewery Brewtroller Automation and Plumbing upgrade. I call it the souped up Sabco. There is no more copper or brass in the brewery. Enjoy!! I am thinking of changing my handle from Sawdustguy to Swagelokguy.

 

SwageLokGuy....some day I plan on building a stand just like yours

-=Jason=-

 

This hobby may have just gotten more expensive for me, my wife will be thrilled.....

 

Damn it; and I thought I had a great setup, except for the off-flavors I keep getting. Here's mine:

 

with those first couple or 3 rigs, damned if i'm going to post my ghetto setup...

 

Wow, this is just clean and sexy. Do you have a diagram of the system, or pics showing what is above your table? I'm afraid to ask for a parts list.

 

So where is everyone scoring those sweet flow-through site glasses? Ive searched ebay and only found a couple built for pools and such....Throw me a bone here...

 

I also want to know where to find the site glasses.
I need to buy one (some ) now.

 

you can get them from GW Kent, I know that. But I also think some are building them - I thought I saw a build thread somewhere on here for that very item....pretty easy, I thought.

Very nice. This is how clean I want my build to be.

 

St. Pats has a good deal on those sight glasses

Thanks Waunabeer, I needed a good laugh today!!!!!

My new doctor said he wanted to check out my plumbing so I dropped my pants. Did I misunderstand? He did fondle my nuts so I am not so sure now.

 

What is the purpose of these exactly?

 

They are used to look at what's flowing through them, that's the sight part

You can use them to see the color and clarity in a closed system, and to verify oxygenation is taking place by watching the bubbles. Plus they look really frickin sweet.

 

it goes along with the SS Bling bling.. i am not sure if there is a purpose other than cool factor when it comes to home brewing.

I was able to figure out the sight glass part was for sight. I just was not sure what the other reason would be other than the bling factor. Thanks for clearing that up for me

 

Sight glasses are beneficial for several reasons, some of which allow you to see clogs or obstructions in the flow of wort, , clarity , and help with the priming of any pumps you may have in your system loop , I really wouldn't do with out them anymore, I have three of them and they are critical to my brewing operations, they are pretty reasonable in price too , considering the amount of stainless and the machining , don't discount them just as bling, they are extremely helpful.
