Show us your sculpture or brew rig

Nice!

Has anyone checked out globalindustrial.com for the wesco mini-winch stacker? It's pricey but it's the only thing I've found to lift those heavy carboys. Haven't bought yet.

A friend of mine uses a small chainfall mounted to a track to lift kegs and carboys in his brew rig and keezer.

Put this together last week out of some scrap pressure treated lumber and about $30 in plywood & other parts

Still needs a little work but I plan to take it out for a spin in the next few weeks

My two tier rig. Immersion and counter flow chillers. Chugger pump hard wired to gfci switched outlet. Hard plumbed filtered lines for filling and cleanup. Chillers plumbed to stand. It works well but there is always something to be done

She's mine all mine.

A big thank you to Justcopen

Here is a recent picture of my current setup. Pumping out 1BBL brews and still testing new styles and small brews on the original 10 gallon system. 60 Gallon BK, 40 Gallon MLT, Rinnai Instant HWH for HLT. I'm hooked on home brew for life!!

 

[CoalCracker]

That's insane!!

 

[CastleHollow]

Damn, MaxOut that's some serious "home"brewing gear--I'm thinking I ought to delete that picture of my embarrassing wooden ghettorig

 

[CoalCracker]

Yea I thought my 1bbl was going to be big.

 

[gyropilot1]

insane is short!! maxoout you BK and mlt are gas burner or electric. I also saw some back lines to the 15 gal keg yu use them in the process? I will like to see the fermentators.

 

[SmokeHavel]

Maxout- Those 15g keggles look so damn tiny in comparison. Do you have a dedicated brewhaus, garage, or basement? Nicely done.

Check my build thread in my signature. The 60 gallon BK is a propane fired steam kettle, the 40 gallon MLT is jacketed but heated indirectly by recirculating wort through the keggle heat exchanger in HLT and water in MLT jacket is circulated through the keggle BK. Both the Bk & HLT keggles are directly fired by BCS controlled BG14 propane burners. I also use the keggles to temper and measure water from instant hot water heater for strike and sparge.

Yes, I donated a big part of my garage to the brewery. The Brewstation is way too heavy to move around. I have water and propane piped to the Rinnia tankless water heater, Brewstation and kettles. Check out my build thread in my signature.

Well done all! ALL of them look GREAT and will make fantastic brew!

 

[galaxyjump]

Modded Costco stand. Cheers!

 

[Mike_]

wow thats some set ups!

 

[jeepinjeepin]

I've made upgrades but I still can't call it a stand.

 

[Layne]

Nice set ups guys!

 

[Steve31]

Just finished it this week, using it for the first time this weekend.

 

[Rcole]

Woodie has served me very well the last couple of years.

Well, I have posted this elsewhere, but I guess it is time to make it official. This is my 20 gallon single tier, Brutus inspired stand. It is a natural gas, direct fired RIMS controlled by a pair of Blichmann Tower of Power units. Will be trying out the Blichmann LINK software on the next batch. The controllers are mounted on a CRT TV articulating mount.

 

[Rivenin]

here is a picture of my stand finally in use

i bought a false bottom that day, but didn't get a chance to use it (hence why i have the cooler ontop of the BK)
Next setup will be a full manual brutus 20

 

[VonMule]

I have only gotten a chance to use it twice because we just had a baby. But it works great. Took me about a year of building in my free time. I should also add that the dog is just drinking freshwater out of the brew kettle. Everything was cleaned and sanitized after that.

 

[rodduley]

Hey VonMule what is that "thing" (long black tube) behind the dog/kettle? Some kind of chiller? heat exchange?

 

[DrKarma]

A year back or so, two of my co workers and I decided to go a bit bigger than our homebrewing systems.

Now our new "sculpture" is produced and November 15 it will be on a ship to Sweden where we have started a new microbrewery.

We do have some more pictures on our facebook page (language is Swedish but the pictures speak their own language)

Flash boiler. It produces all of the hot water and steam. It gives me hot water for strike and sparge, and it gives me steam for step mashing and boiling. Can't take credit though, I borrowed the idea from Kladue and Greenmonti. The tube is actually a quarter inch thick steel pipe, that i picked up form a pipe supplier for 12 bucks, that sucker is heavy considering the weight of the pipe and the 100 ft of copper inside it

Hahaha, good to see the Chiness factory is keeping up with it's H&S!
Looks nice! what size is it, 20hL? Who are you getting to fabricate it and how are they to deal with?
Good luck!

This is my BIAB setup that I mash in a cooler. I was aiming for something compact and easy to clean. I pump strike water from the pot to the cooler then gravity feed my runnings to the kettle (with the bag still in the cooler - no lifting involved). I don't bother with a mashout or sparge as I can hit 78% mash efficiency without either. The stand collapses and sets up in about 20 seconds.

 

[SouthernBrew]

This setup is getting kinda old now. I want to weld up an all stainless single level that is fully automated. I have too many hobbies for this change to happen at any reasonable amount of time.
(don't know why this was flipped on it's side!)
