Here is my rig and brewing room.

Every brewery needs a sign right? Printed the letters one to a sheet and then traced with a wood engraver and used a woodburner to color them in. Finished off with a bunch of poly coats to mitigate sun bleaching. The secret to the propane system is the nice above ground tank you sort of see in the reflection - a truck comes and fills up on a regular schedule - plumbed into the shop wall with high pressure Very nice.

Morebeer 1550-esque design with a single March pump, copper HERMS coil, and tri-clovers all around. BK is 21 gallons. Have it in the shop and working on a panel with RTD probes. Also working on improving the floor and putting in a drain and gutter system.

New rig I built with schedule 10 SS 18" and 22" pipe stubs. I have piped it for continuous RIMS system. Working now on a PID temperature control system that is pilotless.

He's my 30 amp 10 gallon batch electric HERMS system. I went around and around in DIY forum, this thread in particular trying to decide what to put it on. And then I saw a cart like this at work and found one at theshelvingstore.com that fit my need for $120 delivered and got a 20% off coupon...
The system is 100% DIY, the stand is 100% of the shelf!

Two Grasshopper ROPS repurposed. A work in progress.

I should follow your lead but leave the grasshopper intact. It would be easier to get the SWMBO to buy into my brewing if I could mow the lawn at the same time!
 
Well mine is still a work in progress but the first picture are the kettles and the second picture is where the stand is at right now. Will finish the welding this week and then assembly of this beast.

As a long time consumer, here's my own contribution to the world of brew porn: (more pics at the link in my signature, if you're interested)

Oh now this is some good brew porn, nicely done!
 
Wilconrad, that is one pretty brewin rig! Did you do all that stainless welding yourself?

Thanks!

Day_trippr is correct, it's built out of 80/20 aluminum t-slot extrusions. I originally designed it to be a stainless weldment, but when I got that quoted it was nearly $1600, $700+ of which was materials. The 80/20 only cost me about $350 once it was all said & done, and I could build it myself. I'd recommend the 80/20 material if you're considering building a stand; it's easy to work with, low cost, doesn't rust and the slots make it easy to make mods/additions.
