Anyone have one for sale or available for trade. I have an immersion copper wort chiller and a mash tun that can be part of the deal. Cheers to beer! :mug:

The boil keggle lid has one quick disconnect fit fitting that leads to a short pipe and elbow fitting to let the sweet wort run down the side of keggle from the mash tun during the sparge (see the picture in our build thread - link in my signature). The mash tun keggle has two quick...

SweetSounds is correct, just the drain holes were welded shuts. The vent holes were not welded shut. You can clearly see the holes that were welded shut in the pictures I posted. Just a little extra space to prevent a boil over and to keep heat from escaping during the mash. :)

We just brewed our first batch this weekend..."Primus Pale Ale" :mug:

Thanks Lonnie! You gave birth to Brutus, we just took your original design and made slight improvements. Cheers to beer! :mug:

Yes, my brew partner's father-in-law fabricated the lids. He's obviously a custom welder by trade. Below are two pictures the boil keggle lids. The piping and elbow is to let the sweet wort from the sparge trickle down the side of the keggle. Again, they still need polishing, but are made out...

nbspindel: the answer to your remaining questions are below: 1. how far below the skirt of the keg does the burner sit? did you like it on the test run? 3.5 inches 2. how deep are the shields around the burners, looks like 5" or so. 3.25 inches, they are removable and fit tightly around the...

If you are referring the "weep holes" near the top of the keg and slightly below the handles, they were welded shut on all three keggles.

Thanks for the kind comments. We actually didn't experience any condensation coming down the side of the lids.

Yeah, we already realized we have to take out the fire extinguisher when firing up the boil keggle.

I'll have to measure to answer questions #1 and #2 above, but 5" is likely close. The burners are crazy hot and you have to really turn them down to avoid a boil over once you get the wort to 212 degrees. The holes in the heat shield are necessary to allow the flames to get enough oxygen. We get...

We finally finished our Brutus Clone this week and did a couple water test runs. Today was the inaugural batch, which we named Primus Pale Ale!!! We have a few small kinks to work out, but overall it was a successful brew session. We'd love to her your thoughts on the finished product or...

Chris - Where did you purchase the lids for your keggles??? Thanks! Awesome rig bud!

Dude!!!!!!!!!!!! Blue flames make me drool! Very sharp! Here's a link to the high pressure regulator (20 PSI) we purchased for our brew sculpture: http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/brewing-equipment/burners/regulator-kit-for-banjo-burner.html What PSI was the "cheap" regulator that...

The logo was blasted into the stainless steel using a water jet. There is currently a black piece of stainless steel behind the logo. We are considering backlighting the logo, but haven't made a definitive decision.

Nice job! I can't wait to see the finished product.

Glad you asked! The third Love controller will be used for automatically turning off the pump when the wort reaches the desired chilling temperature. While the 3rd Love controller is not necessary, it just a feature like the third solenoid valve for the boil kettle.

Accomplished a lot today. We completed a lot of the gas plumbing, control panel wiring and added the fittings to the pumps. Stainless steel is purty! BRUTUS IS ALIVE!!!!!!!

The control panel taking shape! :ban: http://picasaweb.google.com/RobEnzweiler/5ThumbsBrewStand#5448491718891883634 I cannot figure out how to embed the image into the post - sorry guys. EDIT: Finally figured it out...it should be easier than going to the properties of said image.

The pilot burner is custom piece. I'll attempt to take a few close-up shots this week.
