In theory it should be this simple. We shall see

Today I made a decision. After much delay I sold my American made fender jazz bass so that I could finish my brew stand. After selling it and thinking long and hard about my recirculating method I decided on the following. It is a design I saw on this forum and decided to mimmick for no...

Hey guys, I am nearing the end of a direct fire Rims system build and I am having trouble making a decision on a recirculating system or really just a sparging mechanism. I have a keggle mash tun with a false bottom and pumps with quick disconnects but I just can't seem to make a decision on a...

Also do you use a rotating sparge arm for your strike water?

How do you like this setup?

Well probably not those lids no. I have seen people use these lids with a rotating storage arm but was just curious if the glass would fog too much to see anything. A lid for me isn't mandatory, but it looks like a good place to mount a rotating sparge arm. Outside of a sparge arm does...

Wow I didn't consider the valve heating, thanks for the tip! I'll plan on fixing that ASAP.

Hello gents, I am the end of my Brutus type three vessel single tier build and am focussing on my mash tun so that I can get to brewing. Here is what I currently have in place. I have two thermometers and a false bottom in place and lids from ikea that look like this I have seen a...

So we bought a second puppy and I've been too drained to post s thing lately. Also this has slowed down my work, but I haven't been completely idle I've added another valve to my hlt. The point of adding the second valve Is to recirculate cold water into my plate chiller when I am...

Now that you have had this setup for awhile what ate your thought? Do you still like it? Any issues with not being able to check fluid levels due to fogging?

Thanks for the tip tony, I'll adjust that before I get to brewing on it. I hope you have as much fun building your stand as I am having. I am pretty sure I can just about brew on this thing right now but I have several more projects that I still want to complete. The only problem is that...

Lol! I'm sure my lines are just fine but wondering about my burner shields and distance from my burner to my hlt. At first I noticed the flames going up the side of the keggle but the air inlet was only at about 25% open. Once I opened it up 100% the flames stayed under the keggle. I...

Today I attempted my first experimental boil. I got 10 gallons up to a boil in about 35 minutes. I'm curious how this compares to others. It seemed a bit slow to me. Still exciting though.

I'm in tampa so I will be paying a lit of attention to this thread. I have three sankes do you think this is feasible for sanke use?

Not sure I know what that is. Can you elaborate a bit?

I love this design do you think it could work by using typical stainless fittings and without soldering?

How will you be setting it up for fermentation?

Is it important to use a filter if any kind when whirlpooling? I will be use a pump with a plate chiller and an curious if a filter is needed on the draw tube.

Very sharp build man! It looks like you and I had very similar ideas about what to build, mine is about 98% complete and I'm about six months into the build if I include my search for empty kegs. I can't wait to try this thing out!
