Show us your sculpture or brew rig

[BadDeacon]

Did some work on my brew system this weekend, added the vent hood and back splash..

next I gotta get this wired up

I like the diamond plate. Is that's tool box go the hood?

 

[jbb3]

I like the diamond plate...

I never would have guessed...

Oh sorry BadDeacon. I thought that was your post.

But still shinny!!!

I finally built a basic little stand for my eBIAB Keg.

24" tall built in a couple hours from the remains of my neighbor's stained pine bookshelves. I added some supports to mount my pump (which shortened my tubing runs considerably) and some hooks to hang my little PID controller box.

I think I used 2x 8' 1x4 and 4' of 1x9, then a big fistfull of screws and some caster wheels I had laying around from a previous project.

I'm looking forward to taking it for a test drive to see if it helps keep things tidier. The test run will also help me decide if I want to add a support arm for the BIAB hoist to the cart, or just keep it in the garage rafters. Thanks for the inspiration HBT folks.

That's a pretty neat build, especially with the rigid plumbing and use of valves. Do you have any more pictures or details of how you have things set up?

Here's a pic of mine. Built it about a year ago. Makes 20 gal batches.

Been working on this thing for a while now. Just added a tipping mash tun to it. Built, not bought.

Setting the bar pretty high.... going to have to incorporate one.

Very nice, practical, and impressive setup. Do you have any more pictures showing the gas setup (plumbing for gas run, burner mounts, etc.)? Again, very nice looking rig - great job.

 

[dputt88]

Yeah. I'm out of town at the moment but would be more than happy to post pics of my gas manifold etc.

Big gravity set-up.

 

[poptarts]

Bout time I put mine up here with its finished vent system and what not.

Go big or go home; nice first post gearhead!

 

[tx_gearhead]

Thanks!

How's that vent system working for ya? Simple... nice!

Only used it for the first time last weekend so not sure how the beer tastes but had 1.6gph boil off rate with it and 0 steam in the garage so i'm going to call it an amazing success for $50 total in parts. @Yuri_Rage uses a similar setup and I took the idea from him, so much cheaper and simpler than a vent hood.

What fan are you using for the inline functionality?

 

[poptarts]

What fan are you using for the inline functionality?

Just a cheapo 4" duct booster fan, puts out 120cfm iirc. Like 20$ on amazon or ebay.

Here is my work in progress, I went from a gravity system with one burner to building a signal tier after I fell off the ladder lifting the HLT to the top tier, I was over that real quick. So its taking some time, but I have most of the big stiff for now, waiting on the second pump and a few more plumbing parts and I should be in business. I have been thinking of cutting that top ring around the two burners and putting the support around the bottom of the shelf of the burners, let me know what you think. I have not made a batch on it yet, just testing the burners and pump flow.

I like it! Looked fairly easy to make as well. Let me know how it handles! Are you going to treat the wood to seal it against water?

2 randalls?

 

[day_trippr]

A grant and a hop back, perhaps?

Randalls are cold-side devices...commonly found inside kegerators and keezers...

Cheers!

I meant to say hop back, my B. But I was thinking a grant as well, just hoping it was 2 hop backs b/c that would be awesome!

 

[Drumminguy81]

Actually the one to the upper left is a lauter grant the lower right is a hop rocket.. but its too small so im either adding a second or going with a stout tanks hop back that is larger..

 

[Summers]

After a few changes and some color.

 

[novice]

Got to love recycled materiel, bed frames and some odds and ends, still not finished though needs some high heat paint.:rockin:

 

[cekramer]

Took my 3 tier brew stand and repurposed the wood to make a single tier rig when I upgraded to a 3 keggle HERMS system. Definitely much more convenient.

This is what she looks like yesterday morning....who knows what will get added next...

 

[wilserbrewer]

Got to love recycled materiel:

Do I see concrete cylinder mold grain storage?

 

[akthor]

Is there such a thing as high heat clear coat? Cuz that is what they call "patina" it looks awesome as is. Like a Rat Rod brew stand! Oooo some pin striping would be cool!

[novice]

Not sure if there is but I already bought the paint, jet black it's non rusting, which I need cause this heavy behemoth is going to stay outside.I use propane so I keep my brewing activities outside .
