Heno , Very nice set up. :) A work of art , congrats to both you and your fabrication buddy.

Just one tip , It looks like you have a NASA under your boiler running on orange hose , I had the same setup and all worked ok for a few brews , then Whoosh , One day it was a little windy and the heat radiated around a bit more , the hose got warm and the little brass compression thing slipped and off it came , with the gas cranked up on the red devil regulator it was swinging around like a garden hose on full . It had flame for about 2 seconds then luckily blew itself out and just sprayed gas around.
It took about half and hour befor my heart settled down enough too put a hose clamp on it and relight it with still shaking hands...

So the tip is , run some copper from the burner ... since your stand is bolted to the floor maybe you could run it around the corner and up the wall to the height of the gas bottle and just have a short bit from bottle to copper ....


bloody good setup though ....

cheers

Exactly that happened to me this morniong.... Flame did not go out though.... I am still shittin meself...

I have allways been concerned with the hoses ability to handle the heat.... Reckon I am about to copper it .
 
You can get a stainless steel braided hose, bit safer

Funny this should come up now. Guess what happened to that orange hose a few weeks ago? It wasn't catastrophic it just had a little melted hole in it near the nasa burner that lit up a bit every now and then, only when the reg was on flat out to get up to boil. I am trying to source a bit of copper to go to the big gass bottle now.
 
Copper is good Henno. Armoured hose attaches to the end of copper tubing underneath the rig. :icon_cheers:

It can be raised out of the way stowed in an overhead position

Awesome rig, love that line too... were you not a pilot in a former life? :lol:

That gas leaking issue does not sounds fun.

I love the rig and the green paint.

Hand turned rollers are a great addition too.

Happy AG brewing!
 
Looks great Henno, that setup must make brewday much easier than going up and down ladders.

All of these rigs are making me itchy to knock one up for myself, just need to find a place to build it where SWMBO wont notice it.....
