I love the look of that. I've had envy for the Brutus 10 system since seeing it in BYO recently. I'm going to start slowly collecting pieces that I'll put together one day.

Where did you get those burners from? Also, what BTU rating are they?

 

[jordanpace]

i bought the burners from here http://morebeer.com/view_product/17253/
they are natural gas

here is a pic from last night when i was testing them out.

 

[Jeepsn beer]

which burners and pumps did you go with? Did you add a third pump, and whats it for?

 

[aekdbbop]

Sorry I don't know how to resize

did you make this yourself, or was the cart bought like that?

I am looking at using that cart from academy sports, and attaching a shelf to the top some how for a mlt..

Looks sweet but is missing this:

Info on the insulation please. Do you leave it on when the burner is on?

 

[AGBrewer]

Yeah I built it myself. The insulation is reflectix from lowes layered over and over. I do leave it on when the burner is fired up but only on very low heat. I also welded the drain holes on the bottom skirt closed to avoid burning the insulation. It's funny that you mention the john deere because it is actually john deere paint.

 

[SuperiorBrew]

I thought it was JD green and with the yellow valve handles it was a match
To save some time I use high heat to heat the mash water at the same time the sparge water is heating. I figured I wouldnt be able to insulate it unledd I put it on and take it off each time.
What are you using for a lid?

 

[AGBrewer]

I use this one no insulation https://www.potsandpans.com/webapp/...&catalogId=10001&productId=13463&summaryOnly=

How about some Wiki content folks?

Dang, there are some really purty breweries here guys. I use a simple 3-tier gravity fed, but I have a Lauter Grant/Pump combo that I move wort with when needed. I'm not posting pics of the brewery in this thread till I do my beautification project after Christmas. Just had to post to say great job on everyone's rigs and wow to some very sweet ones.

 

[Seabee John]

here we go! Had her first batch brewed yesterday!

EDIT: Ain't Deere Green, but she's got cup holders!

 

[modenacart]

Here's mine. I'm also putting together my single tier stand designs now. It'll be my spring DIY project.

Do you notice any significant decrease in the amount of usable propane from your tank with such long fuel lines?

Not that I can tell. That's a 10 psi regulator, and I have no problem boiling 13+ gals in the boil kettle. I'm not a gas/fluid expert, but I'm not sure what difference 3' vs 10' would make - apparently very little.

 

[modenacart]

I am looking at building a similar set-up. How are you getting the wort to the carboy? Do you use a pump?

 

[Lil' Sparky]

I use a March pump. It's mounted on the stand right in the middle on the bottom. Before I had that, I used a wort wizard. I went with the low brew kettle height to try and keep the overall height down. If you want more details on dimensions, etc., send me a PM. I'll be glad to help out. I also helped Dad build one and we used hard plumbing on his. I like that design better. Here's a few pics to give you an idea of what his looks like. I can give you some details on that, too.

Cheers

I'm not nearly finished yet, but have the basics :

Looking great! I want to bust mine down to a single tier now too...but I have too many house projects preventing that....

 

[Hermish]

What kind of motor is that for the mash tun? What do your paddles look like?

 

[DarthCaitSith]

My DIY Brew Rig. Made with costco shelves and angle iron. It's bolted together as I don't know any welders. I could dissassemble it and fit it in my car if I really wanted to brew somewhere else.

Picture is a little old, I've mounted the pump onto the frame and made a wooden box out of the particle board shelves I didn't use to protect the cooler from the burners.

 

[keiths]

I made the mash paddle out of 2 sankey dip tubes.

 

[Lil' Sparky]

Since this thread got dug back up, I thought I'd add my new single tier. This pic is from a recent brew day when we had them both going. The 3-tier has a new home now.



Got a fancy new full false bottom from jaybird, too. Works GREAT!
