As if I didn't have enough projects going already, I feel the urge to build a brew rig. I should just stay away from this place.

I joined this forum to figure out how to better my extract brewing. Then I found the DIY threads and I was like, I have to have one of these! So I talked the wife into the whole idea. I think that I've read every thread about brew stands, single tier, two tier, and three tier. Then I started finding parts for the build. My goal for this build was to do it right!

Just after sunset on the waters edge in NW Washington. the next day it went to get powder coated with high temp "traffic red".

Its still not complete. I need to find another keg and then mod them. The wiring for the pumps and outlets (to plug in the laptop and what ever else I want). I'm waiting on a few parts to finish off the gas distribution.

I would like to thank Bobby_M for all of his outstanding write ups and vids. the CFC is awesome, very fast with 58f tap water!

Here's my B3 1550 clone. I built it from uni-strut that my neighbors "found" at work. The pictures are kind of dark but it's all I have. I'll take some better pics tonight after I finish some mods.

Wow, that looks great. Nice, clean design!

standard 55galon stainless steel drums...

the MLT is made from a Rubbermaid 100Galon Stock Tank

 

[norn_irn]

we run it as a club function, everyone takes 5-10galons home with them.

Simple ten gallon electric heatstick basement brewery. 44 and 60 quart kettles not shown. Stand was
a wooden bunk bed that was cut up and repurposed into a brew stand. Window fan keeps humidity in
check during brewing, I do run the fan for a couple hours after the boil to air out the basement.Skateboard
aids in wheeling heavy kettles and kegs about the brewery.

My BIL sent me a link to an article in Popular Mechanics. It shows nine brew rigs. I thought I'd share it here.

 

[captianoats]

Thanks for the link. Those are some nice rigs.

I really like the pool table / multi use setup.
Looks very nice and compact.
Do you throw down a plastic floor pad or something or are you just so good you never spill anything?

May I just just say you suck, and I hate you, and where can I get that setup?

 

[Kauai_Kahuna]

this is how we transient college students do it.

Nothing wrong with making good beer. It is good beer right?

Thanks KK, Bought the pool table from a vendor in Texas and picked up about 900 lbs of oak and slate at a freight dock, assembled and felted the table myself...bit of a challenge...but I think I did as well or better than the kids they send out from the local table place.

Sure I spill on the floor, water as that just dries up...a couple of drips of wort now and then that I stomp w/ a paper towel...brewing over carpet keeps you on your toes...it's really not hard once you are comfortable. It's just a basement w/ short pile nylon carpet...you can't kill that stuff. The carpet is another reason I don't use glass carboys...probably take 10 hours w/ a shop vac to rinse and vac 5 gallons.

Don't know how to weld and don't know anyone that does. And I'm to cheap to buy a pre-fab stand.

as it came home from the welder:

in use:

dark pic that's hard to see, but this is the most current configuration, with hard plumbed water lines:

I have just finished the base, and now I am considering either a rims or herms system controlled by a pid controller, any ideas which one I should go with? I still have some work do but this thing is 99% done. Let me know what you guys think.

 

[pnh2atl]

I was going to brew tomorrow but after looking at all of these I'm staying in bed with the shades drawn and feel sorry for myself.

Thanks!

 

[CNL]

some really good looking rigs in here

 

[sourmash]

OK here is the first of several to come. I'm making the stand out of aluminum since the tubing was donated. This picture is a little dated. I now have the gas manifold welded up with fittings and am waiting for my solenoid valves. I am going to polish all the kegs and finished one this past weekend (I found a new method that I will post in the "polishing your keg" thread). $80 for the pneumatic casters since I will be carting this thing around my house and on the road as well. I have 3 hurricane burners for natural gas.

I thought I'd stick a few pictures up of my folding sculpture now that it's finally finished and functional. I works well and folds up out of the way to keep SWMBO happy.

Some no clicky action for ya..

Here are some pictures of my rig..
Its been going through some updates recently.

This looks remarkably similar to a design i have recently sketched out. Is this a two-pump closed system or do you have a third pump in there somewhere that I am not seeing?

Additionally, how are you removing your MLT for cleaning? Or are you?
