New Guy and my new Single Tier Build!

[MotleyBrue]

This was in the middle of a minor vorlouf incident.. to fast and bored a hole in the grain bed.. Fixed by draining the BK and recirc'd in the MT a little more gently..
The Mash tun held its temp for the full 60 min at a 43 degree air temp without firing once!
Wort cleared off very nice with the help of Jaybird's 15" FB!

This was our first AG batch and used EdWorts's Hause Ale receipe.. hit OG on the money!

Thanks to all the folks on HBT for Mucho Info!

And thanks to Dono and Kip (Brewstaedt) for the help brewing today, and encourgement with this entire project!

All Went Well!!! and 10 Gallons are in the closet gettin its ferment on! JJ

Good job. Thanks for posting all of the photos along the way.

What are you fermenting in?

Do you have plans to paint your stand?

very nice looking stand. i think this thread was just a way to show off your ATVs!

 

[EricT]

Great Build! I like that you included your mistakes for others to learn by. Your brewery turned out great.

 

[MotleyBrue]

Thanks Everybody!,, The stand will be painted or powdercoated soon..Wanted to run a couple batched and make sure no changers were needed. Maybe I'll use the ATVs' and drag the rig up in the woods for a batch! hahaha I'm fermenting in buckets currently.. Thanks JJ

I love the Copper tubing, how'd it turn out working for you? Any problems with the propane plumbing?

 

[EarthBound]

Yeah, nice brewstand! It's nice to see someone else using the same manifold idea I did: build a manifold that has gas in and gas out, then using copper tubing to go from the manifold to the burners.

Check my manifold out. Just click on the brewstand link in my signature.

I have the brewstand powdercoated green, so I wrapped green electrical tape around the manifold (and the flexible conduit and the j-box) to match the paint.

I also used compression fittings with no problems and have needles valves after the ball valves. I made the piece of copper tubing between the needle and ball valves so short that you can't see it.
