Franko's Brewstand Construction

[Whistlingjack]

is this whats required to do an AG brew? or are these just the bees knees of an AG brew?

kingVB :excl:

This is where this obsession can lead you :blink: . My AG rig is quite basic, a couple of converted kegs and a cooler.

Also, it depends what type of system you want. One that is gravity-fed and labour intensive, changing hoses between vessels at each stage or one that is automated complete with pump, plumbing and temperature controls.

 

[Franko]

Well Finally I got a day off from looking after the kids,
so Ive finished the paintwork and Aluminium sheeting on the brewstand
The "Red Rocket Brewery" is on its way

 

[Gerard_M]

Mate I think you have gone overboard, but that is a pretty cool collection you have there. I am about to build a stand for my kettle using some bricks under the house, don't think I will posting pics of it near the Red Rocket!

Just like the new Landcruiser owner taking it offroad for the first time.

In Sydney Landcruisers don't ever go off road, just to Woolies, & drop the kids at school.

Cheers
Gerard

 

[Tony]

Oh very nice mate

you have almost inspired me to tidy mine up with some bling and paint............maybe

It brews beer and that good enough for me at the moment.

I noticed the mongolien burner mate

that might soot up a bit under a little 20 to 30 liter batch. Mine has to turn right down under 60 liters

cheers and keep us posted

 

[Franko]

I got the Natural gas version of the mongolian Tony,apparently it doesnt soot up as bad they say with NG

 

[Tony]

cool... what a good idea

sounds great

cheers

 

[Franko]

Some more progress pics
Got the water piped for the filter and the natural gas lines complete.
Also have run the electrical wiring thru some parts of the frame ready for the march pump and HLT heating element

more pics soon

G'day Franko,

Any chance of getting a side on photo of the burner and natural gas connection, I have a natural gas outlet, under my pergola, that I think I should use on my setup.

Cheers,
Jase

That's a smokin piece of kit Franko, very impressed.

Starting mine this week but as said elsewhere I won't be posting pics beside yours

A quick question, what material did you use for the sight glass and have you tested it yet ?

Cheers

Dont encourage him Sqyre to tow the Red Rocket to Queensland it took fourteen hours before it will take longer with the trailer on , plus there are the polishing stops to maintain the Bling .

[Franko]

Ok Ok I know its been a long time but I finally got working again on the rig here's some latest pics
Got the new mashmaster Bimetal thermometer that I designed with Brissybrew I love it.
Its great to see something that you have designed take its place on the rig

I hid all the wiring thru the frame and now I have to wire up the control panel

Hopefully have it finished soon
