I like that pre chiller idea. I don't use a Herms coil now so it will be a learning curve I'm sure. Big brew day tomorrow making a prickly pear cactus lager with agave nectar and lime.., should be interesting.

Some pics from today.

Thanks a lot for the advice. I purposely built the stand to be low. It stands at 16" tall plus the size of the kettle should be right around my neck. Def. gonna go nano at some point just not sure when. I'm going to do direct fire at first then switching over to all electric. How well does your...

I say you just build that sucker. You can get it just how you want with out the price tag.

KGB, this is good to hear. This is the first feedback someone has given me about stout tanks. I am super stoked for them to arrive in a couple weeks. How do you like the false bottom and bottom drain in the mash tun? Did you go electric or direct fire?

So we got a lot done today. Didn't get to paint but got the casters on, leveling feet, and mash tun support as well as pump manifold plate. Very happy with how it came out. Now I just need to figure how to mount burners and pumps.

Any body have any suggestions on paint color or know what is a good primer to put on mild steel? Hoping to get this thing at least primed tomorrow and gas manifold done. More pics in the morning.

I would go for stainless. I cheaped out and I shouldn't have. Oh well. Can't wait to see your rig come together. Cheers

I brew on a multi level keggle uni-strut setup I made a few years back. It works great I just want something a little bigger a shinier. Two pump, two burner set up.Here is a pic.

Looks like Saturday we will finish the stand and hopefully primer. More pics to come.

The dimensions of the stand are 84" long by 24" wide and 16" tall with casters on one side and I just got some 3/4" threaded rod for leveling on the other side. I think the stout tanks were around 20" in diameter and 40" tall I think. I think I will also go with a pid control for my burners to...

Faded giant Thanks for looking. Kinda new on hbt. I would say if you can go 1 barrel I'd do it. Why not if your gonna build it, build it big. I have some OCD with everything involved with brewing. Real bad thing haha. Are u fully automating your rig? I say take the plunge.

I'm at the point of getting burners for this bad boy and I'm not sure if I want to go with a 23 tip jet burner or the 10" banjo burner. I use the banjo now and it works good for fifteen to twenty gallon boils. I have no experience with the jet burners, do they have good propane efficiency...

So shiny can't wait till these show up. I'm so impatient.

Sparge arm with bottom drain.

Boil kettle with whirlpool inlet.

We'll let's hope so. Haha. Built it big just In case I want to go bigger hopefully not. Should be a fun build.

Just have to smooth out the welds and attach casters and leveling rods. Thanks to my pops who came from Arizona to help me with the build.

It's shaping up.

Not sure how to load pics all on one post. Kinda new on hbt.
