Show us your sculpture or brew rig

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

Haha! Super tight lids?

 

[Admiral]

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?

I just heat the hot mash and sparge water on the stove.

That's the best brew rig ever

182 pages and you don't refer to any particular stand... NICE!

I like the other one better.

Our little setup. We also have a post about building it: Brewsculpture Build and another post with a video of it in use: 60 Shilling Brew Session

Finally someone using an appropriate tubing size for a stand instead of way over building one that could hold a bus up. I really like the cantilevered corner to improve access to the lower BK pot.

Sorry we haven't used the 'proper' size metal for our builds. Mine was free, how much was yours?

What type of burners are those? I have seen them before in a micro brewery but never on a homebrew rig.

They are multi-jet burners. 10-jet would have more than sufficed for 15 gallon kettles. Perhaps they're planning on heating the whole barn?

That's one opinion. I think it's a fine job, but otoh, if 1.5" square had been used, a lot of the diagonal bracing wouldn't have been necessary...

Cheers!

1.75 x 1.75 or 1 x 2 are you best bet
The stand looks great. Seriously.

Critiquing it, I would say the shelves are way too big for the kettles. Had it been built more within the actual needed dimension, 1 x 1 would have sufficed with only the cantilever needing braces.

But, it's built, it looks great and will do what it was intended to.

Here it is! I am just now after over 100 gallons brewed posting this picture. I get 80% efficiency on it.

 

[fermentinginpa]

Wow, that looks really tall. Great efficiency and nice rig!

Yea it us tall! But close to free. The tight is 2 department hanging racks. Found the outside of work.

Wouldn't want to stand under that HLT on a windy day

Needs outriggers or guy wires maybe.

Since I live in a small lot house, senior living, I needed something that doesn't take up any precious space in the house or garage.

I love the ingenuity in this one. Way to go!

I did too. Made for a good week at work.

 

[Rivenin]

Yes, now you get to build a brew stand! Get busy!

Brewing a Moose Drool Clone today. Anyways about my rig, I am using a painters scaffolding until I build me a weldless wallace stand. I just upgraded to a bottom drain MLT, man this thing doesn't keep temp for crap compared to my old cooler. I am not sure if I want to do a flat brutus style, or a 1550 type rig.

I like that Millsteg! looks like what I was planning on building. Do you by chance have the measurements for it?
