Here's my brewery, not a dedicated room, but a big part of the laundry/utility room. Been brewing for 30 years, built this over the last 3 years.

I have just finished the ventilation system for my basement utility room electric brewery. I couldn't find a reasonably priced stainless hood, so I built mine using 3/8 baltic birch plywood. I stained and sealed the outside and painted the inside white. I haven't used it yet, so I can't say...

Look at the duty cycle - 25% at 80 amps. Max weldible thickness is 3/16". So you will spend a lot of time waiting for the welder to cool down between welds on tubing this thick. Personally, I would find a used Miller-Hobart-Lincoln Mig welder with 240 volt input that will allow you to...

Aluminum pros: cheap Aluminum cons: scratches, abrades and wears easily, reacts with some strong cleaning products. Stainless pros: looks great, inert to most cleaning products, doesn't abrade or wear readily, will out-live the brewer and the brewery. Stainless cons: expensive, although the...

What is the screen made of? No way hardware stores in my area carry stainless steel screen.

Here's my panel. I started out to silkscreen it, but between the trouble I had transfering the art from powerpoint to a large format printer, and then photocopying onto acetates for burning the silkscreen and the eventual problem I had with the metalflake ink I wanted to use having too large a...

72 750 Interstate, bought in the the UK in 1976, brought home in 1978. 1973 850 bought at MidAmerica auction here in St Paul. My brother owns my first one, a 69 S, damn I wish I still had that one. DMC doesn't ring any bells here. Love to have an ES2 with featherbed frame for plonking along...

BB, We share the same disease, sounds like you have a more advanced case though. I have 2 Commandos in pieces, and three mid seventies Honda dirt bikes in could almost be running condition if I got off my ass and did something to them. A 50s DeWalt radial arm saw, an 80s 5 horse Unisaw with...

Thanks SweetSounds, but handsome is as handsome does, and I haven't got it completed yet, so I'm withholding final judgement. I'll start a build thread soon as I at a point where I could take some interesting pictures.

Nice score. One of those tools that would be great to have if I had the room. My woodshop is already over-full but mostly stuff that hasn't been put in proper storage yet. The bane of my life, not having the space to do what I want to do. Despite having a 28' X 40' barn with two rooms, one...

No thread yet, coming soon. I have various pictures in other threads, but haven't started a build thread yet. Soon, I have some of the new brewery done, but much to do.

I used 1/2 baltic birch plywood for the box, and built a jig for my table saw to cut 1/2 fingers 9/16 deep. I used a dado setup in the saw. Works a treat, but you have to get pretty precise with the width of the finger and the pocket so the dimensions don't march away on you. Once glued and...

Hey! I cut finger joints on the box, so back off BrewBeemer! We don't need no stinking mitered joints on this box.

Here's a shot of my nearly completed control panel, with the ammeters at the top, so you can see what they look like installed.

Regarding the analog Shurite ammeters I posted about the other day, I just talked to the Shurite folks, and confirmed that the meters I bought (Shurite 8505z) are rated for 240 V and that they wire directly into the circuit with no shunt or coil needed. The lugs on the back of the meter are...

GM, A follow up to your good advice on die grinders and bits. I used them tonight to open up the mis-measured opening of my eHLT, and in maybe 20 minutes took an 1/8" more out of the radius of the opening, and now the top fits perfectly. The bit you recommended worked nice and smoothly. I...

I have just installed but not used yet, a pair of 30 amp 240 V Shurite analog ammeters in my control panel. As far as I can tell, they get directly wired in line with the load. I do want to double check that with the manufacturer before I fire up the system. The website for the manufacturer...

Thanks GM, I just ordered one from Amazon. I assume you mean slow feed rate as opposed to slow tool rpm?

GM, Like everyone else, I am in awe and envious of your skills, not just welding but design and fabrication. You show a die grinder in one of your pics with a burr of some sort you use for cutting odd shape holes in stainless. What kind of burr is it, what material of construction, where...

Hey Brewbeemer, I like your idea for modifying the Camlock barb fitting. I did a quick google search for a tool that would create the bulge in the tube, but came up with nothing but standard flaring tools. Do you have any idea if such a tool exists, and where one could get it? Since I...
