2 Tier Brewstand With March Pump.

[fraser_john]

Schooey that is real nice and neat!!!! Maybe I'll spend my Crudd money on some stainless tube, bending and flaring tools and a bunch more stainless fittings! If I really got motivated I could have my system as neat as yours!

 

[yardy]

thanks schooey for the pics and detail, like the return on the MLT, might pinch a lend of that if you don't mind
cheers to AndrewQld as well :beer:

:lol: yeah i know, it'll never fall off.

got a ton of it in the shed, nothing lighter at all so may as well use it up

 

[fraser_john]

Crickey, looks very weak, might have to add some extra brackets!

You sure your not an Engineer as well Yardy? That's going to be one serious brew stand when its done. Are you going to put wheels on it? And I am being serious.

yeah yeah, when you get a load stainless given to you it's not polite to ask if they have any 25x25 angle to mount a pump on :icon_cheers:

[QldKev]

i managed to get the kettle finished, got it soaking in PBW atm

I also did a bit to Andrew's kettle, he said he's going to keep me supplied with his Coopers CDA clone for life

i have one more of these that i'll be converting to a kettle, pm me if you're interested.

cheers
Yard

Bit of a bling factor with that polishing - WOW where's my sunnies :beerbang:

Yardy, are you going to use the esky mash tun with the pump? or going to a keg style mash tun and HERMS?

Paul

Updated my data, hope I get to play in your sand box

Cut

Hey Cut, geez we even tolerate Kiwi's here :lol:

Seriously, welcome mate!

Screwy

 

[Screwtop]

Geeee Zusss Yard, farkin overengineered to say the least, global warming - shite no wonder, how much energy was consumed making that mount. And mate........lights on in the middle of the day. Switch off the lights, fill the glass, sit down in that chair and chill man :lol:

Still, makes beer ay, so thats oright.

Screwy

Edit: FM I just took a second look...........you've put foam between the clamp and the pump body.................why........You don't want it shaking your brew stand to bits :lol: :lol:

 

[yardy]

how much energy was consumed making that mount.

a couple of 309 electrodes and a cutting wheel, the rest was free, anymore armchair boilermakers ?

 

[Leigh]

When I've cleaned it and drained it, it sometimes will take a minute or two of fiddling to get a prime, but no biggie... Once it's primed, it's always flooded, so never really a problem...

In the above pic, that bottom elbow on the left is now a tee, and there is a drain tap on the bottom. I might take a current pic later if I get time. That drain pretty much lets any air in the system be pulled through to the bottom, even the air trapped in the pump. So all I do is open the valve from the HLT to the pump, then open the drain tap, hit the pump switch, and off we go...

Schooey, Am I seeing right? Is your mash tun welded down? If so, how do you go about emptying it? Cheers

 

[schooey]

Nah mate, it sits inside 4 little tags welded to the chassis to locate it. It attaches with 2 barrel unions. Comes of in about 30 seconds

gday paul,

Yard

mate, Ive had a 3 ring burner all along, just liked the look of your global warming burner that boils water in 1 minute, mine a bit slower than that.

you not going to herms then at the moment?
