I'd like to see them get it up those stairs in the pic :lol:

What about a brew tree type design, but with 3 stations all at the same height evenly spaced around a centre post. Gantry/Pulley setup at the top of your post. Mash Hoist up spin dunk sparge Hoist up spin Drain I think I might have a crack at rigging something up. Tribal.

I only brew every couple of weeks and when I do, the milk crates get dragged out, then my bench which goes on top, then my bricks to put on top, then the burner which sits on the bricks, drag out the gas cylinder and connect it, set up a small table alongside for utensils etc. etc. etc. Because...

Does anyone have a permanent purpose made rig for their Biab brewing? Mobile, or an attached pulley system for lifting heavy bags of wet grain? Tribal.

Any S.A. Hop Growers want to sell rhizomes? Tribal.

"It is an uncontrolled projectile," lmao, :lol: ha ha ha

Thanks for everyone's input. I must say I'm glad the replies I got were constructive and helpfull, not all about "search yourself, this question has been answered before!" I'm sure there are alot of sensible justified questions out there, that are not being answered because members are too...

Hi all, I am aware that when brewing traditionally, if your grain crush is too fine then you run the risk of a stuck sparge. If brewing via the BIAB method, would it matter that your crush was floury (floury, Is that a word?) Full volume would mean no sparge to get stuck. I have built my own...

Thanks for the link. Just read the 11 pages on the other thread...... Consider Hornett's Nest officially closed! What a bunch of Nuff Nuff's. :rolleyes:

I wonder why they didn't read your shout out? :lol:

Hi all, I am about to no chill a brew. I have available to me the following: Nylex Drinking Water Hose (reinforced) Clear tubing from hardware store (racking tube) Which would be better to use ? Also can someone post a pic of the pvc hose that is mentioned on this site. Is it the white...

From a lack of a good imagination, I used what was around me (well on me actually!) I have a tattoo of the Pisces zodiac sign done in Tribal style on my shoulder. Tribalfish.

Bizier, Apart from the slight wobble I get, the main difference with pipe would be that I reckon it's mild steel and the belt pulleys I have used are cast and won't flex/bend. TF

No torturing here, but I guess it does look a bit scary :unsure: The crack is great, both rollers aren't 100% cylindrical, so as a result I get a nice mix of partial and fully munched grain.

No danger of flexing, it's really solid. Last nights crush went well regarding clogging, no slipping whatsoever but maybe when doing a double batch and after more use, you might be right. :) TF

Thanks Chappo, but I have to give credit to my Dad also, as it was a joint effort. We started at about 8.30 am yesterday morning and poured the first beer at about 5.30 pm The plan took shape when I found the two 8" belt pulleys at a local antique/ secondhand shop. I then purchased some 7/8...

Well all I have to do now is make a hopper and maybe a skirt underneath and my mill is finished. For her first outing, I Crushed just over 4 kg tonight ready for brewday tomorrow! :D Tribalfish.

Sorry to see you getting out of it, but top marks for having the guts to do it! I'm sure there are alot of brewers out there that sometimes wonder what the over indulging is doing to their health not to mention their waistlines! The obsessive purchasing of components for much $$ is a worry...

Thanks to all that replied. Probably some little rouge ******* bug that got into my brew. :angry: Will put it down to experience. I am getting quicker at chilling my wort to pitching temp, so hopefully there will be less chance of nasties getting in before she is all sealed up. Tribalfish.
