Show us your electric brewing rig

[BeerBrewBob]

Ok, just one teaser picture with my panel wide open (being the **** I am)...

I'm working on writeup for this portion of the site now...

Kal

I am late to the show, however, I cam across this thread with the intent of starting my own project....After Kal's post, I no longer saw a need to continue past page 2. Geeze.

 

[sethhobrin]

Here is my setup. Just completed it. Going to mount the CFC with a bolt to the brewstand this weekend but otherwise done. Full build thread and photo album in my signature.

My hybrid. This was taken brewing 15g of an Extra Pale Ale last weekend.

 

[CS223]

Simple single vessel BIAB system, no sparge, RIMS, plate chiller, PID for mash temp control, manual override for boil. Mash, boil, recirculate through the plate chiller then pump into a corney. Attach spunding valve & ferment under pressure in the corney. Counter pressure rack to serving corney.

Here's my simple, yet effective single vessel 5+ gal ebiab rig:

I went back and as i was looking at your build i thought..." damn, thats some nice woodworking for a Steelworker"

I cant imagine what mine would look like if i tried wood. I should be done with my panel and picking up tubing next weekend for the stand.

Great job gary

With wood I just use different tools. The hood and the grain mill were the most difficult but not that bad over all. Just takes time. Hope you get your going soon!

Here is my setup: 2 converted kegs, igloo cooler, 1 chugger pump, 1 PID controler with pump controls, and counter flow chiller

HAHA...have to crash this thread!

HAHA...have to crash this thread!

I really hope your controller is GFCI protected. Lots of exposed power there.

 

[sablesurfer]

Yep, the wall plug is GFCI. Wouldn't do without, I promise.

(Had to post this as totally ghetto and what not to do, cause everyone else's are so neat and tidy.)

((But I did make a beer this weekend, so that means it's connected right and worked ok!!))

Dave, spend the money on an enclosure

 

[at3brew9]

Latest incarnation using CFC for HERMS and post-boil cooling. Heating and bypass valves held over from previous design. Pulse meter and solenoid valve for accurate water dispensing is also nice. PLC control using a Siemens S7-200 controller and old OP-7 HMI.

Here's mine

[Rivenin]

my brutus 20!

 

[chessking]

Old thread, but I finally have a stand to complete my electric rig.
Built to expand to 10 Gal, with an additional pump and the HLT below the Mash Tun, I currently can do 5 gal Brutus 20 style with gravity taking place of the 2nd pump. The heat stick attaches to the side when packed away.

 

[augiedoggy]

Alot of really nice builds.

DeeDub76 - very nice.

Like you and TheFlyingBeer, I am using a stainless steel table. I got mine from Costco a while back for something else and figured it would be cheaper than building a stand.

Looks like you used unistrut for the control panel. I am using that as well for mounting alot of the components.

Here are some shots of mine partially done. It's missing the HLT that goes on the left.

nice control panel mount, I also love the vintage hp designjet plotter in the background... I used to service those for years... I still have one customer using one.

 

[jcav]

I'll play along, here is mine

Here is the one that troyzer and I built

Hey, thanks Kal!

Not quiet as impressive as your basement transformation! I loved the ascetics of your brewery, so I wanted a similar gray industrial look. I did all the renovation work myself to save money, and that alone took several weeks. I'm hoping my Christmas present will be a utility sink next to my brew stand, but it may be a little tight. Nonetheless, appreciate the detailed guide you created! The dream is to purchase one of your control panels at some point, but for the time being I will work with the budget Hosehead I picked up and focus on making great beer!

 

[stevehaun]

Recently downsized from 30 gallon to 10 gallon batches. Still dialing it in...

 

[ingchr1]

Two vessel using a Brew Boss controller I built into a control panel.

 

[brewswithshoes]

eHERMs system is complete. Laundry room transformation is starting. Will post finished brew house (former laundry room) in a few weeks.

Is that carpet you put down? I went the other way myself after a few spills for easier cleanup.
