Here's my beast. Sorry the pic is so dark.

Just be careful not to let the rubber propane hose touch the flashing for very long while running the burner. The hose can melt, I know this from experience. That made for a long brew day. Jack

Jay, I created a stand out of pieces of Unistrut, brackets and fittings that were "appropriated" from the dumpster of our local electric utility. They just throw this stuff out. Here's my pros and cons of using strut Pro: Quick assembly - I was able to put the stand together in a few...

I don't think you'll have too much of a problem. I use hop bags with pellet hops and usually whirlpool before running through my CFC. I just have a simple pickup tube running about three inches from the side of my keggle and I've never had a problem with the bags clogging the tube. I would...

You are correct about the height and I've thought about moving everything down a few inches. That's the beauty of unistrut. No need for a step, I can see and stir the mash just fine now.

Here's my 2 tier design that allows for both batch and fly sparging with one pump. I can still see into the mash tun on top and it takes up less space horizontally in my garage. Not a design for everyone, but it works well for me.

Of course it is. My point was that some people like spicy and bitter together.

Must be a personal preference because I find that a hoppy, bitter IPA goes great with Vindaloo.

Thanks Wayne, that makes sense. Unfortunately, my burners are a bit different and I don't think I can get the sparker to reach up over them. I'm still messing around with this.

Here's my B3 1550 clone. I built it from uni-strut that my neighbors "found" at work. The pictures are kind of dark but it's all I have. I'll take some better pics tonight after I finish some mods.

Witbier ferment

Picked up this old commerical ice cream freezer off of e-bay for $30 and picked up locally. It didn't have a top, but I made my own anyway to match my bar. Handles made from child stool legs.

Wayne, do you have a picture of how you positioned your spark igniter with your burner. I want to do the same as you but I'm concerned about too much heat melting the wire sheathing.

Let me start by saying this information is second hand from this forum. I don't have any first hand knowledge of this. But I've seen on other threads that you should mount that pump horizontally or you might have problems. I'm not sure if that is what you're seeing, just throwing that out as...
