Ok, what does it do and how does it work?

That is a parallel counterflow chiller... I wanted counterflow for the speed of cooling... But want an easier way to clean it... I found the idea on YouTube...

Sorry to high Jack but I've been considering building the same chiller. How's it been working out for you?

The initial run I drop from 175 to 83, which was ground water temperature, in under 5 minutes... I had the wort moving pretty quick so next run I’ll slow it down...

Are those filters in your last attachment for bringing water in or filtering your beer post boil...?

In either case can you mention what models they are?

I may as well hop on the bandwagon here. I used some of the ideas posted here for my Grainfather brew stand which some of you will recognize. I implemented something that I haven't seen before and that is a swing-out table for the chiller. Thanks goes to Fred Flintstone for the pipe design. Special thanks goes out to the "Our Gang" kids school of carpentry.View attachment 574504 View attachment 574506 View attachment 574507

Debuting yesterday, I have a double wide brew stand on wheels. With a work bench, storage space and my water iron filters mounted to the side. The extra elevation given from the wheels makes it easier on my back when stooping over the Grainfather.

Its Simple, but it serves me well!!!

Love the OBK buckets. Theyre good people.

I think more pictures are called for on this one! looks interesting.. I like the burned wood finish.. I probably would have burned the house down trying to do that..

Looks great! Took me a 2nd look to view the chiller, I was so focused on the stand. Did you use 2x3's?

Made this today for my setup. Nothing fancy. Built it out of cedar to resist any mildew and rotting. It's built like a brick **** house.

Here is my HERMS system, built it about 5 years ago, have enjoyed brew g on it but may soon move to a brewmagic

How far is it advised to keep a control panel away from a flame/heat?

Building a modified Brutus with BG14s and am wanting to mount the control panel on the side, about 11-13" away from the flame, but still on the frame.

Planning on finishing my basement including a nice looking brewery, but this is what I got going on now.

Good thread! I looked for consolidated info like this thread when I was looking for ideas to build mine.

I see you use the EZBoil too.

Hell yeah man. That thing kicks ass.

What would Brew Magic provide that this doesn't?

The only benefits I can see are footprint and electric control. Other than that I'd stick with what he has. Nice rig.

Started two years ago with a 7 gallon Anvil kettle, and a 5 gallon cooler mash tun. Eventually realized the equipment was too small for my needs. Purchased a King Kooker stand on Amazon. The JET burner drained my propane tank very quickly, so i stuck my anvil burner on top, it fit. Here's a pic of my setup so far...

 

[NavinRJohnson48]

Well, I think mine falls into the, "Ain't Pretty, But Makes Decent Beer" category.
Under construction is a 5500w double-keggle HLT/HERMS so I can stop using the still pot, keggle MLT and a simple wood stand.

Got inspired this past week and built a stand for my gravity all-grain setup. I use an induction burner to heat my HLT, and then near the end of the sparge move it down to heat my kettle. Previously was sitting my mash tun on a cooler. One day I'll get a second induction burner, but seems to work for now.

Recently gave Emily a good cleaning, replaced her keggles with some shiny new Spikes.

Since this was taken, replaced the March pumps with Riptides for good measure. She sure doesn't look that shiny now!
