I was able to get the hood done but sadly didn't snap a picture before i had to leave for a month. I'll be sure to post one when i get back.
I'm trying to track down some heavy duty stainless steel hooks for suspending the grain bag and hanging my mash paddle and rig my ventilation up.
I assembled the walls together with 5 strong tie galvanized brackets on each side, it did solid job giving the structure some rigidity.
(ignore the skew in the photo as it is a panoramic to fit it into frame)
The second picture is after i wrestled the walls into place.
Next step is to...
I purchased 8'x4' 20 gauge galvanized panels from my local ventilation store for a reasonable price (everything is reasonable compared to stainless) and laminated them to 1/2" plywood to enable me to secure shelving / hooks through the sheeting and into the wall.
I'm very happy with how the...
I looked around for different options below my brewery and for a variety of reasons (price / application) i ended up sticking with ceramic tile, once the grout is treated it provides an easy to clean and durable water proof floor covering. I built a 4 ft x 4 ft platform to lay the tile and and...
I started a new thread here where i will put installation pictures and comments on how the panels turned out:

After a few years of brewing on my steel shelving stand in front of my windows in the basement and many messes / spills, i decided i needed a more permanent home for my brewery that could handle the occasional spill / splash of boiling wort.
I had also gone through several upgrades and...
I ended up getting a great deal on 20 gauge galvanized panels, they look great and are very rigid. I'll post some pics once i get them in place but i'm very happy with them so far.
I thought about doing ceramic but really like the idea of using a solid sheet of something instead.
Lots of support for the FRP - that was what i was looking at originally as well. I'm calling around again looking for cheap aluminum / steel if i can't find it i'll go with the FRP
I was wondering how those panels would hold up to the hot liquid. I almost purchased them but decided to do some searching first I didn't find too much detail on them.
After an incident with a camlock letting go in my electric brewery i'm relocating my setup to a new area and would like to install a backsplash to protect the wall from any splatters.
Stainless costs an arm and a leg so i was wondering about other products like 20 gauge cold rolled steel...
Yes it was on a stirplate, which i normally do use and still get a krausen but i switched to a 2L flask from a 1L and i only had a liter of fluid in it so it could just be that the increased surface area made the krausen spread out.
Just for the fun of it i decanted and did another starter...
