Hey Everybody - Look at my new Boil Kettle!

[WBC]

In case you guys did'nt realize, programmers make fairly good dough.

 

[John Beere]

Well, here they are... brand spankin' new!

You can kind of get a feel for their size based on my 15 gallon keggle sitting in front of them...

 

[Brewing Clamper]

Wow, those are sweet!

 

[brew hoperator]

Please take plenty of pictures going forward of your mods and brew days! I am sure we all would love to see those bad boys in action.

 

[Mirage]

Those are beautiful... Enjoy!

 

[nathan]

I actually got a real tear in the corner of my eye. That's so beautiful!

 

[Clayton]

whats the part number on that i would lookig at legions website but did not see them
saw plenty of Direct Steam Kettles thoe

 

[John Beere]

TWU-30 - they sell for $6k each. I paid $850 for the pair.

JB, I just finished reading your Herms 2.0 post and then stumbled across this one. I have to say congrats, but I feel the need to compete here too. I don't have any fancy equipment or boiling kettles, but I do have a 13" stirring stick that I like to call.... MY COCK!

Keep making us proud with your impressive equipment, and I will keep my wife happy with mine.

Seriously though, the sh*& that you have come up with is incredible. Keep it up.

 

[John Beere]

Thanks. Hmm, maybe I am compensating for something?!? nah...

 

[ZacMac]

It's always great to see a HBT'r with a sense of humor. I am compensating for my lack of ability to create cool sh&@ like yours.

 

[John Beere]

Anyone know where I can get casters that would fit these? They are made with 2" hollow tubular SS. McMaster and Grainger don't seem to have any options for anything that big...

 

[CarlLBC]

you are a punk, i've been checking out ebay and drooling over steam kettles knowing i'd never get one. I need to start brewing good beer to justify something like that though. I haven't had a good one turn out in a while, maybe I just have high standards. hey, the Savannah craft brew fest was pretty cool. I was hoping to see more reps from the actual brewery. As for the casters. figure it out your damn self. you seem to be a smart guy. I'm suprised you didn't have any laying around. sorry, i'm just a little pissed you got those for 850. one for that is great, but two is just crazy.

 

[John Beere]

Yeah, the woman's husband I bought them from was kinda pissed. They apparently found out how much they were worth *after* I negotiated the deal for both of them... heh

I hate you....

Honestly, many props and continue to set a very high bar for the rest of us....

:rockin:

PS: Not kidding about stopping by to drool over your setup someday...

 

[John Beere]

Yeah, someday when I get everything setup for real I'll have to have an open house...

You may want to check out Harbor Freight, their website isn't all that great, but their store may have them. Also, Tractor Supply I believe had a big selection

 

[John Beere]

Thanks for the reply. We have both local and will check them out tomorrow. It looks like I might have to get some "Caster Sockets" but I can't even find them large enough for the 2" tube...

 

[BrewBeemer]

Machine some solid stock for a slide fit into the stainless tube legs, weld on flat a plate to the stock for mounting the casters. Great find keep this thread going you lucky one.
Those hand crank tilts have to go, now you have to add elecrtic motors.

 

[huntsman]

I sure would like to see an update Gabe. Specifically in your steam generation system. Any chance in that happening?

Sh*t!!!!!!!!!

 

[ChrisS68]

Dang those are sweet! Gonna make one of them a mash tun?

 

[NiteOwlBrewing]

What ever happened?

 

[John Beere]

Well.. first, this happened:

Then, I found these to use instead:

And then, I decided to work on the brewery / brew pub (which is what I'm wrapping up right now):

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/deep-six-brewery-back-action-164889/

I still have them, but don't know what they will end up being used for.. we've talked about using one for low-country boils.
