You know how brew days go...first one homebrew...then 6 more

Looks like a unique CIP system where you turn the room upside down to dry.

Need a thread on how to do this, that would so much easier than a vacuum and air compressor to suck/blow the water out of my herms coil and pumps.

 

[Tombsy]

Can you explain what this is. I honestly don't understand what I'm looking at.

Its a homemade BrewEasy system. 2 vessel recirculating system. The bottom part is a fusti that acts as the kettle/fermenter. Pumps to the top vessel that acts as the mash tun.

wrong thread

Any trouble with the the burner's heat and being so close to the studs/wood?
I see some metal in the back.

Any thoughts?

My pallet wood brewstand:

 

[jojacques]

My burner is about 4inches from the wood and it barely gets hot.

 

[karch1967]

I have had no issues with heat, I put the corrugated metal there to protect the wood and I haven't even noticed it getting hot. It is winter here so that helps and I only use the burner for boiling the wort so that limits the heat buildup.

i was enjoying my very simplistic brew setup (post #970) during warm summer months. now winter here is dark and wet and weird spots started to grow on my wooden brew stand. i think its some kind of mold. i left mine untreated because during summer it would get dry and be fine. whats the best way to treat wood for brewing applications? paint, oil, varnish ?

Simple looking rig! Exactly what I'm looking to make for myself, something easy. How tall is each level?

How tall is each level?

first step is about 50cm(20inch) off the ground - the size of my tallest fermenting vessel, so i can open the valve and drain directly into fermenter after chilling.
second step is about 110cm(43inch) off the ground - obviously adjust accordingly to the size of your boiler.
im fairly tall so i can stir the mash from the ground although when doughing in i would climb up on to the first step - easier that way.
finally, you can add a few hooks in various places to hold brew gear! --oh and castor wheels as well--

Awesome!! Thank you!

Here's the latest revision to my brewing area. I used to have a multi-tiered stand, but I bought a pump so I don't have to rely on gravity anymore. I'm planning to christen it with a brewing session on Saturday.

Single vessel eBIAB counter top stand.

Here is my rig that I got started on today, still a work in progress, hope to have it functional soon.

 

[jayway]

Still in progress

 

[Kbrann]

No RIMS or HERMS yet, but just got the all wooden rig built. Grain mill mounted above a spot for a bucket that sits on a digital scale. Plenty of storage space/spot for bottling bucket, although we have now moved to kegging.

Pumps are next, then possibly integrate an old cooling coil and an electric heating element into my liquor tank to make it a HERMS.

Low profile 2 tier stand. The mash tun shelf comes off and slides under the stand for a pretty compact storage

good job, heres fixed picture

 

[bmaupin]

this has worked well for me. pumps moveable on diy track

 

[Eshorebrewer]

Finally made time to brew on the new rig, need to make more time soon. Working on calculating equipment losses etc. still but all in all a pleasant experience.

I bought a King Kooker portable deep fryer / boiling cart and modified it into a single tier brew structure. https://buydepot.net/products/king-...=cpc&utm_source=googlepla&variant=19616068035

I use a three-vessel 15gal HERMS system and have been brewing on it for years with great success. For those looking to get into a single-tier system without breaking the bank this is an excellent option.

Here is a picture of my old reliable. Had it since 2010. I have 5" casters on it to make it roll real easy over to the barn or anywhere. The orange is welders cloth so it doesn't catch fire. The top tier has a square that is wrapped 4 times in the cloth. Never smoked the wood yet. This is made from cabinet grade maple. It has a charcoal filter on the other side that I hook into the green (water safe) hose to take out the chlorine. The blue hose on the right is coming off the water filter. This will store two propane tanks, 15G kettle, pump, green hose and switch in the rear. The front stores the blichmann burner and plate chiller outlet hose. Takes up a 4' x 2' area in garage.
