Old pasture brew Thanks, I got my gas valves off ebay and yes, I get very good flame control with them though they are a bit touchy. What I mean is that you can go from a very small flame to all out blast furnace without a lot of rotation of the knob. Here is a link for the valves...

Thanks! I really only took ideas i found here and compiled them into my own brew rig. Here is a thread with some more pictures and details if you are interested https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/atypical-wood-brew-stand-389789/

I'm in!

That is the most awesome keezer I've ever seen. Hopefully all those sticks were given to you or in addition to having the most awesome keezer, you have the most exspensive. Nice Job!!

Yes it is on casters. I let the trim hang past the bottom a little to make it look like it wasn't on casters. I have done construction/remodeling most of my life and most recently was in business building spec/custom homes. I did everything from excavation to finish work minus flat cement...

Yea its all 110V. I wouldn't say its automated though. I just have the spark ignitor, similar to a gas grill. I turn the gas knob on and push the ignitor button. No standing pilot or anything fancy like that

Like I said in one of my posts, I was a little worried at first, but after using it I am no longer worried. The wood does get slightly warm, but I can comfortably touch it and I never leave it unattended. I know there are some who would never think of using wood next to fire and that is fine...

And finally just some pictures of the valves, thermometer and sight glass. I had a lot of fun building it and could not have done it with out all of the great builds on this forum. I can't say anything I did was original but rather a copy or modification of something I saw here. Also, my wife...

This is the 3 way valve I mentioned in the last post. First 3 way valve I got was an l-type and would not work the way I needed it to for this setup. I then got the T-type which is what you see here. In its current position it transfers liquid straight up into the MLT but if I turn it 90...

I got it off ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Digital-Thermometer-Temperature-LCD-Meter-Gauge-PC-Mod-Fahrenheit-Centigrade-C-F-/180996950079?

Here is the pump. I use a single pump and can transfer from any vessel to the other with the exception of going back into the HLT. I just a made a manifold with 3 inlets, one from each vessel, and 2 outlets. One outlet goes to the CFC and the other goes through the RIMS tube then to a 3 way...

This is the mash tun which is a bottom drain. I just cut the real bottom out of the keg and turned it upside down. I use a RIMS tube so I didn't have to worry about firing the mash tun. 2nd picture is the false bottom. I made it of a pizza pan that already had the holes in it. I cut it down...

Here is how my CFC is hooked up. By the way, it is 25' long with 3/8" OD copper inside and works really well 1st picture CFC is mounted underneath burner on right side. I ran a piece of 3" pvc through the middle and on the top is a grate that I screw to the wooden frame and on the bottom is a...

Actually I have 4 kids and my wife prefers me to sleep in bed. She can't sleep if I'm not home. It took me a year but that is because 1) I was in school full time for most of the build and part time the rest 2) my family likes when I interact with them 3) I had been working out of town a lot and...

Here is my gas hook ups 1st picture is just gas line from tank to hard piping 2nd & 3rd pictures are a view of the back side of the valves. They are the same kind you would find in a chem lab to use on a bunsen burner 4th picture is my burner. I used the cut out from the top of the keg...

I got them off ebay from a place in china. Almost of of my electronics came from china because they are so much cheaper. We'll see how long they last, but so far so good

Here are some pics of the control panel The green button upper left is main power to the panel The blue buttons power the respective components directly above them (from left to right - PID for RIMS, temperature for cooled wort going thru CFC, timer) The red buttons are the spark ignitors...

I posted some pictures of my brew stand in the "show me your wood sculpture thread" and had a number of people request some more pictures and details. I don't have any pictures of the actual build because I did not have a camera during that time so these are only pictures of the finished stand...

This project is awesome. I like the system you have setup for transferring beer from vessel to vessel at the different stages of the process. I was wondering about having multiple containers in the same space at such different temps. It seems you done it and it works, but i wonder how it affects...
