Show us your sculpture or brew rig

Gotcha! The manifold is used for mash and sparge only. Copper will be an upgrade later.

My brewrig, the boiler is a converted beerkeg.

Did a test run of my system today with 10 gall. of water after 18 months of slow building. Next step: first all-grain batch!

 

[WortGame]

Nice Adam! Is that RAL 7046?

 

[ColeR]

here's my system, its nearly complete, just a few more item are needed. you can follow the build >>My take on Brutus<< my neighbor started that thread.

I'm a big fan of keeping it simple and clean.

Assembly starts

Finish

Copper Reserc

HERMs

Nearly Complete

[ShelterPupsBrew]

That's a solid rig. I like the wrinkle paint!

Thanks

its a prismatic powder coat called "Atlas Copper" its in the hammertone family, the only problem is powder coating burn at around 1400deg+/-. and propane burns at 3000deg+/-, so where ever it burns I will have to go back over with header/BBQ paint to clean it up.

Nice Adam! Is that RAL 7046?

Actually, Ford Blue engine block paint. Probably won't survive around the burners. I have heard BBQ grill paint maybe works better

MLT on middle tier
Boiler on bottom tier.
March style pump on floor
5Gal Ball Lock keg converted into a HERMS with 25foot copper coil

Hi guys, I thought I'd add my simple setup, still improving it... here's a vid:

I love gravity systems. They are so friendly for fly sparging. Nice job

Apologies for the links, i tried to 'insert image' but no joy!

This is my attempt(mid build) of a wall mounted heating and cooling unit. I live in the North of Scotland and as such cooling is rarely a problem! Air cooling to ambient will suffice, heating will take place in the top dome with a lightbulb. Copper coils have to be formed and fitted then insulated. I will hook it up to a ATC and fluid movement will come from a 24v Speck Mag coupled pump. Its too early to be showing this really but i am very happy with the look so far. I am also enjoying making a fermentation temperature control unit that is different from the 'standard' wooden box & fridge.

Oops, I forgot about this thread and posted my own. I thought it deserved a spot with all the other great brew systems out there....so here is a picture and a link for more images and details:

Here is my 2x4 and 3" gold screw brew stand that I built this weekend. Wanted to build in a way that incorporated my double burner. Sturdy as all hell, wooden (I know I will catch some crap for this), and has already been tested while bringing the keg to a full boil and held for there for 20 minutes. The wood barely got warm (and if all else fails and I feel it may be a safety issue, metal flashing will be installed next to protect the wood). May cut the tall piece down (for a laptop/ingredients table, and use the double burner for the HLT and to set the MLT on. Then I can place the keg on the ground, fill, then lift up the keg to the burner when doing the boil. May get a pump and pump all of my fluid around, so no lifting... Not sure, guess I will see what I figure out. Now its time to brew some beer! I will have to post pics with it in action. Eventually, I will cut the tall part off, and make it a single tier, but I am not quite that far yet. Let me know what you guys think.
