Don't know how to weld and don't know anyone that does. And I'm to cheap to buy a pre-fab stand.
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.
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?
There is a 3rd pump on this system. I clean out the MLT with a shop vac. Prolly the best investment I've made so far! It sucks out all the grain/water and whatever else in no time.
Sawdust, that reminds me so much of the Sabco BM. Did you adapt one of their stands or systems? Its quite lovely BTW. I wish I could afford me some Sabco components.
I'm building a system and have been watching this thread for ideas on layouts and stands. I'll be building electric, with a wooden stand.
Cheers
Ahhhh.....Ya caught me. The stand is from a Sabco Brew Magic System. Actually the system is a clone of the Brew Magic System without the built-in brew computer. My stand has a few extra diddies built in that the Brew Magic does not, like a temperature controlled HLT with intermittent pilot and PID controlled gas valve and three pumps. I was just lazy. I weld but figured it would have taken forever for me to build the stand so my wife bought it for me for my birthday. Great Women! and she loves to help brew to boot!
May want to make that women into woman before she catches you.
Just finished it.. Thought I would go ahead and add it to the official brew rig thread.... 1 batch through the beast.. It does just about everything you can think of.. HERMS + RIMS + BCS-460 Automation + Unique Heat Exchanger Purge Circuits + Etc..
Why do you have both HERMS and RIMS?
My electric herms: It has been completed for 4 batches, but this is the only pic I have (still being built)...
Wow. I really like that stand. Did you build it yourself? It looks like something you can buy at Ikea.

Here's my manually controlled HERMS.
