How do you keep everything in when they're laying on their side?

 

[fast900t]

Does the job!

So how is your HLT set up - do you heat in the kettle and just store it in the tank, or does the HLT have it's own heating system?

 

[Clonefarmer]

Nice find with the vessels!

Ok I have to know, is that a 67/8/9 camaro/firebird you're working on there?

Not fully done yet, waiting on my RIMS tube and 2 15g Blichmann kettles, but you can at least get the idea. And yes I cut off my zip ties, the only critique from my dad hah

 

[brandolomite]

Where did you source the SS hose covers?

McMaster-Carr. This is what I got:

Stainless Steel Expandable Mesh Sleeving, 25/32" ID, 3/4" to 7/8" Bundle Diameter

Here's what I have so far. I'm using these stands as a proofing system, if that makes any sense (pump placement, etc). But I really like them and I don't have space for a single set-up. The weight of the BK and burner has depressed the wire support so I need to get a solid piece of something that will displace the weight over the total area of the shelf. And I'll replace the plastic soon. But for now it's fine tuning the process.

Here is my rig now setting it up to brew

He brews in a centrifuge

 

[McCuckerson]

I used to brew in a vacuum, but EVERYTHING kept boiling.......

 

[SakARow]

Here she is, she's a tad ghetto-fab. But nonetheless, fabulous :fro:

One pump. One plate chiller. One HERMS coil in the HLT. I just brewed today and had 80% efficiency, had a little bit of a stuck mash but I was a little greedy on the crush. First time with the HERMS today. I think its a HERMS, works for me

I have plenty more pictures if anyone needs any ideas...

 

[CourtHouseBrewing]

Does this count?

It makes beer, right? Then it counts.

Latest version of the rig from Saturdays brew day. Single tier RIMS on an old 55 gallon fish stand.

 

[Junkster]

Is that fish tank frame square tube or angle steel? Do you get much deflection with the vessels loaded? Just wondering - it seems like 2" square tube I've seen on some rigs is a bit overbuilt....

 

[galttfwo]

here is my set up. I have a 12 foot tent I put up over it, keeps it from raining.

 

[bumstigedy]

Where do u get a tent like that and how long does it take you to set it up.

 

[wyoohio]

You can get them at most Sporting goods stores.

EZ-up is a popular brand, but there are cheaper ones.

They go up very fast, one person can put one up in a minute or two.

If you are a car guy here are some too

Just finished!

It's angle. No deflection at all. It's designed to hold a 55 gallon fish tank. If I fill all three vessels to the rim (which I can't imagine ever happening), it will still be under 55 gallons and the weight of the kettles/kegs are probably comprable to an all glass aquarium. No worries.

Just finished!

Love the red frame!

Here is mine.

*pay no mind to the hose setup obviously. they were thrown on for a photo.*

 

[Layne]

Love the wood!

If that keeps it from raining, I'm going to put up a tent the next time I have plans to be outdoors and forecast calls for rain!

 

[duckredbeard]

(always) a work in progress

 

[FredTheNuke]

Well - this is version 1 of my 25 gallon HERMS setup. Still have some work to do before breaking it in, though....
