Brew stand painted and ready for equipment to be mounted - two tone; pot belly black (heat resistant) and charcoal hammer tone. I additionally have made some heat guards for each of the burners to improve flame and heat direction/control. pics to follow.

Work on the brew stand has been slow over the course of the last few weeks, however some minor progress has been made. 90% of the gas plumbing has been done (pics attached). I have mounted most of the equipment that will be used, again the set up is very similar to pumpy's however included...

A plasma cutter is one alternative to achieve this task - another is using an angle grinder and literally grind the remaining material away, followed by smoothing the curve out with several grades of flap sanders. My recommendation if you are considering the later is to use Pferd discs as they...

More work done on the stand this weekend. Basically constructed the burner sub-frame and commenced milling the instrument case to install the two digital temp controllers. The flat bar used to support (rest) the burners on has been machined to include two locating holes for the burner and a...

Dear All, I found that I need to locate a 1/2" BSP tap to build my brew stand as I thought that my arc welding had warped the sockets that I was keen to attached to both the mash tun and boil kettle (in this case i was correct). i found on the internet a group in QLD call the tool exchange and...

Min effort this weekend (however did get to brew 35L of Jamil's America Ale ). Updates - I mounted the March Pumps on the centre strut. I also included a pic of where the wires will go. I also received a 'care package', so i was able to tentively setup the Mash tun. SS 12" false bottom...

nice work - good progress!

Cdbrown - the tops of the square tube were closed with 50mm 3mm flat bar roughly cut to size welded on and smoothed off with a flap sander /angle grinder. If i had the technology and ability I would of considered 45 degree cuts to eleminate this issue. If you are thinking of doing the same -...

I decided to take the day off to really push ahead with the brewstand. I was not sure how far I would get, so the plan was to complete all the major welding including mounting the cross bars for each keg. However, luck being on my side, all the major welding has been completed (excluding the...

Davo - casters are from dandenong casters in vic $120 total. Burners too came from vic - sorry can't remember off the top of my head the group or cost. I just googled mongolian burner + Australia. MWS

Pumpy Quick Q - where did you pick up the gas lines cheers MWS

Thanks for the suggestions ENZED - can do hose, but are limited in hose (type and size) and fittings. Currently not a goer - so too speak. Cheers MWS

Does anyone know of groups offers to prepare custom length gas hoses? I was hoping to have a 400mm, male 1/2" BSP to male SAE 90 degree line prepared. So far Liquidkonet appear to be the only group that I can find on the internet. Cheers MWS

pcmfisher, The electrical connections for the heating element and all electrical work has been performed by a registered electrican. The SS cap covering the heating element contains the appropriate earthing.

The aluminum electronic enclosure turned up today. Pics attached. dimensions 171mmx121mmx106mm (2mm wall thickness). The plan is to mount it on the right hand side flush with the brew frame under the hot liquor tank. I took a couple of pics of the two temp controllers to be mounted in the...

My 2c - If all grain... If on a budget get a high pressure nasa burner ~$100. Allows you to manage your HLT and Kettle. If HLT only - go electric (min 2400W) and a controller - easy to manage allows to use a timer have your mash in water ready when you what it. A bit more effort to install...

CDbrown, I did a bit of research last night on this topic - RS components appear to be have the widest range of aluminum enclosures suitable for what we what. I am looking at a box that is approximately 176 x 121 x 106mm. Cost is approx $50. Jaycar and DSE had nothing that met my needs. It...

Thanks for the reply - i have not considered this option. More thought required. <_< I was solely focused on the fact that the control panel would always be used to operate the burners.

A number of 'care packages' arrived today for the new brewstand: 1. 2x 10amp temp controllers (purchased via ebay, as discussed through a sep thread on this forum). these willl be used to control the electric hot liquor tank and the mash tun. 2. 1x STC valves - gas solenoid valve...

Raven19 - i have purchased some 100mm direction, lockable casters - there is a pic of them further back in the thread. Picked them up from Dandenong Casters (they are on the web and have a discount at the moment if you mention the new web site)
