This is it so far, but always a work in progress.

Extra points for the HEMI emblem!

I batch sparge then recirculate. It's like the "Brutus 20" or any other two vessel systems.

Do you capture your first lauter in a bucket, then transfer back to the kettle to boil?

I have done that but with a pump it recirculates both mash and sparge until its all equal then drain into the BK. Heres a link that explains it better than I can.

thank you for your posts

ddahl,

I am looking to build something very similar to your set up.

Are you doing a HERMS recirculation ?
Are you direct heating the Mash tun ? to keep your temp ?

Do you have any more pics?
Do you have a build thread for your panel & sculpture ?

Thanks
Steve

It's not much of a build thread but I have posted a little more about it here, https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/different-e-brewery-380514/.
If you have anymore questions you can ask them there.

It's a electric setup, batch sparging then recirc from the BK/HLT to mash tun. Also check out the link I posted above for the Brutus 20, that's what it's based off of.

I have been slowly designing my ultimate brew rig. I wanted to build a portable system that would allow me to easily transport my rig and have fun at a brew-in. It is almost complete. Hope to upgrade the kettles next year. Cheers!

Next upgrades include bottle opener attached to stand, 3-way valves so I can just turn a valve and direct as needed.

Another new pic w/ mill stand. Can't believe my wife let me take over her hutch and keep my brewery in her kitchen.

In the process of converting to all grain. Have my mash tun and keggle ready to go, just need time to brew and build a stand. Here's my pretty awesome setup now though.

Just finished the gas lines this past weekend. Fired up nicely with no leaks.

I built this last spring and its still a work in progress. All gravity fed. Runs off a single propane tank and can run all 3 burners at once. Adjustable feet to level and 2 wheels to roll around. Kinda heavy but sturdy. Have had 3 people sitting on the burners no problem.

I thought i'd whored my rig out in every thread possible, don't know how I missed this one.

I think I've found my inspiration!!! I plan to use the stainless steel table for other things besides brewing beer (although it's the most important )

love this!

I had posted an early photo of this a month or two ago, but this weekend, I visited my buddy in the Pocono's and helped him break in his newly completed DIY brew rig. Everything went great after we ironed out a small leak or two during the test and we brewed 5 gallons of Chocolate Milk Stout. He also made the immersion wort chiller. Here are a couple shots of his completed rig.

Sparge Manifold

Mash is done and we are now boiling

 

[slakwhere]

if you put the holes in the top instead of the bottom it'll sparge more uniformly...

I'll mention that to him. It would be pretty easy to just turn it over as all the cpvc pieces are just fitted. Thanks!

 

[OneHoppyGuy]

the efficiency change will more than likely be negligible

 

[rdann87]

Nothin too fancy myself.. soon enough

Here she is! Yay gravity

Here's my custom gravity setup and the two yokel's I brew with...
