My Brewery

[sama]

I would like to share some photos of my brewery.After enduring many chaotic brew days i convinced the missus to let me have a section under the house to use as my brewery ,so i built my self a little room and set about crafting my brew equipment. I now have all the bits and pieces needed in one spot,a dedicated brewery.It makes brewing a dream.Thanks to everyone whos ever contributed to this wonderful site! The brewstand is gravity feed and runs two nasa burners with alluminium pots.The mill is made from a overhead projector stand i pulled out of a bin and a elevator fan motor and pulley off a elevator door operator from a elevator i upgraded at work.

Very very nice set up.
Bet you could grind rocks with that motor on your mill.

Awesome Sama you must be a very proud brewer

DIY mentality is the thing that makes me the most excited about this hobby.

Nice work.

Thought I might add a few pics of my brewery....currently under construction.

The plan is that man world is extended to hold more than dirt bikes.

I aim to open the brewery & bar extension late 2010. Needless to say I have some very excited mates, who even now seem to have headaches every saturday morning!

TV, DVD, bar, stereo, bar stools, fridge full of beer.

Currently I am brewing extract & a few grains.

I am trying to aquire bits for the all grain rig at the moment.....based around BRUTUS 10 ( )

Seem to be struggling to load more than one picture...

Slow progress with two kids and a wifey.....but I keep doing a bit

Its a bit scrap heap challenge.....roof sheets free off a building site, C section from the reclaimation yard, windows $50 each from the paper.....

Pictures are too BIG, dude, need to scale them DOWN a bit... 2 Mb max upload in one post...

Hey Sama. Love the grain mill idea... Who do you work for over there?? I'm with Kone in Adelaide.

Getting me nice and inspired to do something similar in the near future, once I get past the extract/partial stage...

Cheers, Tyler

Sama im assuming thats your kettle on the lowest level of the stand? how do you transfer after your boil to your fermenter? pump? chill or no chill?

Doctor Bob, is that a KLX in the shed?

Here's my brew area in progress.

Just finished up the water and drainage 14 days ago and have 2 brew sessions in breaking things in.

Still more electric, finishes and storage area to build, but it is a start and so much easier than going back and forth to the kitchen.

15kg LPG tanks - thats something thats fairly uncommon (outside of industry) here in australia

We do not have underground natural gas in Hawaii (which is common on the US mainland) - it is all propane - so it is common to use 15kg and 30kg for residential use here if you do not have a larger tank that the truck comes by to fill up. Many folks off grid run their water heaters and cooking on them where the propane truck won't go to deliver. The smaller ones (BBQ size) run out too fast for me for brewing and the 30kg are too heavy for an old guy like me, so the 15kg are a nice size - similar to a full sack of grain (25kg?) . One ran empty during the last brew and I switched over to the full one.

The doughnut shop around the corner from my house is "Komoda's" - any relation to you?

I'd love a big commercial sink like that.

That's the first thing I'd do with more space.

Here you go: ebay sink

fents,i drain to my tun to my kettle like so,then replace the tun with the filled kettle and boil away.Once boiled i put a fermentor onthe ground below the kettle and drain into it.Im only lifting the kettle 400mm or so (whatever the height of the fermentor is,cant remember) up onto the stand,and with an alloy pot it only weighs 30 odd kg. preboil. Oh,and i use a immersion chiller hooked up t oa 2500ltre rainwater tank.

Was thinking the same. There is already a show us your brewery thread somewhere.

I'm sure it was well intentioned.
