anyone on here have issues with priming thier pumps? Im looking at a build my self and i see lots of posts with people with issues. I see very few with vents or and air bleed.
There. I edited my post just for you. Don't you feel special now?
At what point does pumps and automation take the fun out of brewing? Seems like it would loss the appeal that attracted me to brewing.

At no point.....It makes it even more exciting. How many brewpubs or breweries do you know that use gravity?
Ahh, I used to think that way. Then I built a brewstand.At what point does pumps and automation take the fun out of brewing? Seems like it would loss the appeal that attracted me to brewing.

Now I'm popping out 10 gallon batches, my efficiency has skyrocketed, the beer is consistently better, and when I want to make a beer that I already did and enjoyed, I can actually recreate it.
I did a group brew day this past weekend with Ricand up in Sebastapol, and another guy who's just getting started. Rick and I were using our Brutuseseses (Brutii?) and this kid was using Rick's old 5 gallon cooler tun/turkey burner setup. When the time came to dough in, he had to lift a pot full of 170 degree-ish water, pour it into the cooler without scalding himself, then did the 10 minute dance of adding cold/hot water to get to his mash temp.
Me, I just flipped a switch, sat back, and had a beer.
Mash out, he had to lug the cooler onto the bench, then add more boiling water until the temp hit.
Me, I just flipped a switch, changed a hose disconnect, sat back, and had another beer.
Sparge, yet another pot full of scalding water had to be lifted high enough to get into the elevated cooler, trying not to splash it all over the place.

Hell I did 12 gallon batches with no pump batch sparging for 6 months before I got my pumps and built my rig. Me and my back (and wet shoes) deserve this badboy!
Yes, I sure do. Thanks N00b.
Sorry I don't know how to resize
AG refers to All Grain most likely, not AgricultureWith a name like Agbrewer, you know it's gotta be painted in John Deere colors....
AGBrewer, if you're still listening to this thread, I just noticed the CFC. How long is that? 50 ft? I built mine from a thread here in HBT, and it's only 25 ft.
Great Rig 5 Thumbs! I am getting ready to start planning mine and would love to get some more detail about how your system works? For example. Have you just incorporated the lids like Mr.Mac? Or are you doing things another way? Thanks for the information. Great build... and beutiful. I keep going back and forth about Stainless or Reg Steel with high heat paint. One is cheaper but the other is just so damn pretty!
