brew rig

I needed a compact, small footprint area for brewing and storage of frequently used brew equipment so I put together a 18" x 24" wire cart. 120V electric brewing is my choice for small batches and the controller I built allows for many variations of equipment and control including the integrated...

This brew rig all started with one of those Mr. Beer kits I got for my birthday. Reading more and more about homebrewing and once being bit by the homebrew bug, my space demands did grow with my equipment accumulated. Long story short, my wife kicked me out of our kitchen and demanded back the...

Since 2008 I've been using a ECC BCS-460 (now owned by Brewers Hardware) to control/manage my MT, HLT, RIMS and pump during BrewSessions. Over the years I've used Orange Coolers for my brew rig, Blichmann Boilermaker Kettles and recently within the last 1-2 yrs Bru-Gear and Spike Brewing V.3...

This brew rig was made from old components and scrap materials.the kettle and later started as one tank. It was a 200l 20ga. wine tank that had a large Crack in the seam. I cut it in half. Made a bottom for the top half and welded it in. Installed a total discharge on the side at the bottom...

Brew rig based on a gravity fed system. It uses 2 mash tuns and two HLTs plus a kettle. It's gravity fed and built out of wood. But I gust bought a Ruby Street system with 4-50 gallon kettles and all of the bells and whistles!! Can't wait!!

I use 2 love controllers for my brew rig. One for the HLT and the other will be for the MT. Because my mash is direct fire, I find it best to have two thermometers, one below the false bottom and one in the mash itself. this gives a more accurate temp reading when recirculating. Boiling...

Got this used Sabco Brew rig that was upgraded with 1bbl Blichmann kettles. Waiting on my two 1bbl SS Brewtech BME Unitanks and Glycol machine to arrive in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to brew on this baby. Cheers! Boiling Equipment: 1bbl Blichmann BK Fermentation Vessels and Equipment: Two...

this brew rig started out with a modest vision , and was inspired by the technology documented at Kal's site. I started with Kegs, and kept them , mostly because of durability and affordability. HLT is powered by 230VAC, and PID controlled. BK is powered by 230VAC, and manually controlled. RIMS...

I blame this site for my addiction!!! Started with a keggle electric system I posted quite a while ago, now has morphed to this!! Boiling Equipment: 2bbl home made 27500watt electric with condensate drain chimney Beer Bottling Gear: Kegs only Fermentation Vessels and Equipment: 8-2bbl plastic...

Nice and compact brew rig, easy to set up and use and doesn't take up much room when not in use. Heat exchange coil doubles as wort cooler by flooding HLT with cold water. Hot water used for heat exchange coil is also used as sparge water. Quick releases on everything and the pump on the ground...

I have to thank my wife for hating the smell of brewing. This, I think really caused my advancement rather than stifling it. At our old house I built a shed solely for brewing, and when we moved to a new house a shed was one of the first things to go in our backyard. Boiling Equipment: Three...

When a water supply pipe burst in the ceiling of a basement storage room, I had to completely demolish it & rebuild. Rather than build another storage room, I tried to convince my wife to let me turn it into a brewing room. After a single visit to Bryan Rabe's basement brewery, she was convinced...

I converted a back room in my garage into my brewery. I tried to make it part brewery, part lab. The brew stand is a 2-tier setup of my own design. It is an automated propane HERMS system. The room also has a 3 bay stainless sink which makes cleaning much more tolerable. There is a 7 cu ft...

I am running it as a no-sparge. I have a 3rd pot that I can put in place if I decide. There has been discussion on the benefits of not sparging (phenol and tannin extraction) so I am going to see how it goes. I waste a little extra cash on grain but thankfully buying it in bulk makes it...

My garage brewery has 3 20 gallon kettles on a steel stand from Home Depot. The HLT has a 5500W heating element and a 50' HERMS coil from Stainlessbrewing. The MLT has a false bottom from Norcal. The BK also has a 5500W element. Both element enclosures are from BrewHardware. All camlocks...
