Then and Now (photo thread)

Many people talk about the slippery slope of brewing equipment systems (purchases).

Here is are my photos of THEN and NOW.

First All Grain System THEN (11-12-2011)


Current System NOW (3-30-2014):


I'm sure you have had one of those moments of clarity where you realize they sell beer in stores too.
Let me see your photos of THEN and NOW.

 

Then (Mar 2013) is the stove pic... now (yesterday) is all others xD.

 

Don't have a picture of my Mr beer days, but the first image is my 1st partial mash (12-10-10). 2nd image is when SWMBO bought me a blichmann. 3rd my the first run on my electric brewery.

 

I think it will be interesting to see how people changed their process (equipment) slowly over time or made changes that were completely revolutionary... indoor>outdoor, gas>electric, manual>automation.

Great photos so far. Keep them coming!
(I use to take photos of my kids before I started brewing.)

 

This will be a fun thread. 1st picture is my dad sparging on my 2 tier system. Furthest red cooler is the HLT, orange MLT, and 25 gallon brew kettle. 2nd picture of a 100% electric 2 vessel no sparge system with a RIMS tube and 2 element in the BK. Both vessels are no converted kegs and 1 is a bottom drain MLT. I now have a water feed and return plumbed into the garage along with a 2nd outlet for the 120V. I've been brewing since October of 2012. I don't have a picture of the 1st extra batch that boiled over 3 times....kinda wish I did.
