File a hit and run with the plate...

Alright, the stand has been reassmbled and is setup in its final glory... I have no idea what to call it. because of the colors all I can think of is Orange is the new Black... Maybe Pumpkin is the new Porter? :D Hope you all have enjoyed watching my build. I have really enjoyed writing...

And here it is! All painted nice and flat black... I'll let it cure for the next few hours before sliding it against the wall for the night. Then in the morning once the paint has cured completely I'll start re-assembly.

Just finished putting on 2 coats of primer... I used a water based one so I could do it in the house without getting high as a kite...

Here's the stand all shiny after I finished prepping and cleaning the stand for painting.

Starting the finishing of the stand now that the dry fitting is done... So I am using Amber Shellac for the wood tops. Not only do I think it looks nice, but I think shellac is a highly underrated finish. It's also great for working with indoors, as it has very little vapor, and all the...

So for now that's all the mounting and dry fitting that will be done for the kettles and the stand. Here it is all setup in a couple different scenarios while I was fitting the hoses.

So I did some upgrades to the BK And the MLT that I figured I would take a few pics of and add the to the build page. I've added stainless dip tube and bulkhead Whirlpool arm to the BK, and bulkhead with silicon hose for the MLT for vorlauf, sparging and eventually HERMS brewing. I purchased...

Okay, mounting the Hop Rocket (HR) was the next thing. I bought the Hop Rocket for one main reason; I wanted a filter that i could use to remove pellet hops and hot/cold break from the wort that could be used inline and while hot. The HR met all the requirements, plus I could use it as a hopback...

Okay, So I solved the excess slop problem that I had with the pump mount. Instead of mucking around forever trying to tighten up the actual mount. I made some rubber bands out of a 12" bicycle inner tube and wrapped them around the pump mounting plate. Fits nice and snug now.

I use 32Gal Rubbermaid Brute Garbage Cans, NSF stamped and either made of LDPE or HDPE (will also be stamped on in somewhere. I usually do 20 gallons at a time per container. Here is my setup. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showpost.php?p=7442639&postcount=3

So I've been slowly starting to make my brewery electric, as it is kind of a goofy looking setup right now. This thread is devoted to the controller build. I cannot afford to build the super fancy electricbrewery.com system in earnest at this time, but still I managed to get some money...

So a baby seal ran into a club...

I work with this jerk that's always coming in late, eats my food, never does anything so I end up doing it all last minute, he never cleans up his desk and he's always walking around the office in jogging pants! So unprofessional! Whenever I try to talk to him about it, he just starts copying...

Okay, so I feel this has been asked before, but I would like a definitive answer. I found this panel on ebay. I would like to make a portable GFCI protection device for my system. I was wondering if it will work. It looks as if it will, but I wanted some input before I purchased it...

So I wanted to see how much of a coating that the magnets would tolerate before it would not hold up the chiller, I managed to get 3 dish towels between the magents and the post before it wouldn't hold anymore, so I figure a paint coating a few hundreds of an inch thick won't slow it down.

Thanks! The only issue I am having with them is there is a fair bit of slop in the slide joint, so I am going to add a little bit of material to the pump mount to make it a tighter mount. That way it will be less prone to wiggle around during use.

Alright, so I've gotten another mount figured out. This time for the pumps. So I have been struggling with coming up with a mounting bracket for the chugger pumps that I am going to install. The big thing for the pumps is that either the mount or pump needs to be easily removable and sturdy...

Both of those FG's seem okay for this brew. I have made it in the past as well and the oatmeal and the lactose in it really bump up the FG. Also depending on the accuracy of your temps during mashing you may be over/under the amount of unfermentable sugars produced.
