    The adventures of a complete noob and a brew rig

    We shall see with the spider, I'm hoping that the use of the jet stream on my hose can get it clean quickly. Regarding the mash tun, I can say that I need a better way to get the grains out, it was a bit of a PITA. Looks like I'll need to build a tippy dump soon.

    The adventures of a complete noob and a brew rig

    Hey thank you! I'll do an updated price list for you in a bit. My cost was elevated due to not having any tools on hand though. I also wasted a good deal of money on things I didn't actually need, but hey that's part of being a rookie I guess.

    The adventures of a complete noob and a brew rig

    Ok well I brewed on this thing last night! Cleaned everything up and moved the system back by the pool. Holy cow. This thing is easy to move but taking it through my house meant I had to take it apart which was a lot of work. All together and ready to go Stirring it up...

    Thank you! I have a few leaks to clean up and I am essentially operational. There is still a lot that I would like to do, but I might need to put done of those things on the back burner due to my beer supply being dangerously low..... Thinking two weeks from now I fire this bad boy up for real.

    The adventures of a complete noob and a brew rig

    I drilled a hole in that lid so that if I wanted to add water without the rotating arm I could. I have read a lot of reviews about these things and they sometimes can get stuck. This was just a backup method in case the rotating sparge arm got stuck. Might be overkill but I just wanted the...
