I went through the same thought, I liked the idea of getting all the wort in the kettle though, half the pumps, half the hoses and half the fittings really sold it though. The major pain that I realized after going through this build, was that a single tier would be much simpler to build...

You should have seen when I got 75 psi through that one lower tier, didn't take a photo, but it was insane. The top burners blow out at about 20 psi, but that $15 high pressure one can take a ton of gas. At 7 feet above the burner, you couldn't hold your had for more then a second, could easily...

I really took advantage of the lower height of the kettles, I have a limit to the height of my garage door. I wanted to brew under if raining outside. The tops of the mash and hlt are just below chin level and can see the boil while sitting at a stool. I was going to do a single tier because of...

Note: the boil burner screen is actually cut out of the bayou classic stand that came wit that burner, I just reused it and it bolts under the burner with the mounting bars, same as the upper burners.

Got the new brewery put together last weekend, soon as the weather warms up a little can get out and give this a go. Mostly used 2 in steel, but you can see for your self below. I plan to do a direct heat recirculation, but have option for a HERMS. 82 Qt Bayou Classic for Boil 62 Qt Bayou...

I used to combine different SG of wort all the time, used promash to calculate, on make using different software and doesn't have this included. Here is the jest of things. Start sparge and collect 5 gallons of 1.060 wort. Take kettle over to burner and start heating, stick bucket and...

I was testing out a herms layout just moving water around, checking temps and seeing how much hi-temp stuff I should get. Our local shop has norprene tubing...fda approved for food up to 275 degrees. Was going to ultimatly use that, but need to justify the price.

I have been reading a little about DEHP that is a common plasticizer in PVC. PVC is normally rigid, adding a plasticizer like DEHP makes it flexible like in braided clear tubing you can get at hardware store. DEHP isn't very good for you, FDA has banned it in medical devices because of over...

Do you know if that burner has the hi-pressure orifice, or if you need to purchase separately?

I have been working on plans for my single tier rig. Calling in "Brewster" right now. (Seems important to name rig at first part of conceptualizing stage.) Any way have been looking at the bayou cast iron burners. I have a SP10, with the standard hi-pressure burner, it works pretty well. For...

if you have a way to check it, get a specific gravity ready. Don't know your OG, but most kits have a OG of 1.055-1.058 for a stout...probably should finish at 1.016-1.017. Now if you get that SG then you have good attenuation, but the beer is not done...need to condition at least 10 days to...

Some yeasts are done with primary active fermentation in 2 days. Friend had Pac-Man yeast drop out with clear beer in 4 days with a nice dry imperial IPA. That was some major action going on there.
