Man.. I dunno. I mean, I'm all maker at heart, and I'm all for maximizing time efficiency... and I salute the engineering that goes into an automated system. But to me, full automation kinda defeats the purpose. The enjoyment of brewing to me comes from DOING the brewing. Automation is for...

Here's my brewery if you want to check out a gravity system that works well and has done QUITE a few batches for me: http://www.lancedrolet.com/?p=7 Here are some things I considered when I made mine. First, I'm not crazy about keeping the Cajun Cookers intact. Even clamped onto the frame, I...

Mine's actually quite mobile. Of course, you can't move it when the tanks are full, but that's kind of the point of only having wheels on one side. The weight of the tanks provides stability. And ladders aren't required. There's a fill valve on the bottom of the HLT with a quick-hose-disconnect...

Excellent build! That's pretty similar to mine (in construction materials, anyway): http://www.lancedrolet.com/?p=7 But I didn't want to shell out for the pumps, so mine is a 3 tier...

Mine's been modified a bit since this pic, but:

Here's the one I use: http://morebeer.com/view_product/16664/102282 The first stage (heating) has a fermwrap plugged into it. The air volume inside a fridge is pretty low, and it's insulated, so it easily holds my fermenter at 20+ degrees above outside temp. The second stage (cooling) has the...

My requirements are probably a little less than yours. I'm a pretty simple brewer. Single-infusion mashes... all ales, so temp is always pretty much the same. A closet-sized room (enough for a couple of larger sized conicals) with a mini-ac and space heater is all I'd need.

I've already got a 3-tier system that I like a lot. I've got a conical in a fridge with temp controls... I'd probably add a small temp-controlled "fermentation room" so I could fit more than one conical (maybe a blichmann 42gal or two). Aside from that... probably a modified tankless water...
