Offlines Brewery Progress

[Offline]

Hi guys,

The inaugural HAG brew day last weekend has motivated me to finish my brewery.

I picked up the bench today for free and couldnt help but post some pictures of it here.



Im going to use it in a three-tier system for now with the possibility of going to single-tier some time in the future.
Its a little bit too tall but the price was right and Im sure its some grade of stainless steel.



All I need now is a HLT and Im in business.

If a fermenter fits under the bottom shelf then its perfect. If not you may need to play with it a little.

Guys,

Under closer inspection (in the daylight) I think it may be actually aluminium (still looks good though)

When I said its a bit tall, I meant I cant see into the mash tun let alone stir it. I will need to make a decent step or something.

If a fermenter fits under the bottom shelf then its perfect. If not you may need to play with it a little.

And yes the fermenter fits under the boiler, I didnt include my burner in the photo so the boiler is a bit lower then it will actually be.

Mate, from your pics, I would be very surprised if that was made from aluminium. Take a key or something and try and scratch it. If it scratches easily then it probably is ally. I would expect to see big welds on the joins for ally

cheers

I decided to upgrade my brewery as part of moving house late last year, after using it as a 3 tier system for the last few years.



it had a 40L HLT & mash tun with a 50L kettle.

The new set up is a 2 tier system with 40L HLT gravity feed in to either 40L or 80L mash tun, depending on batch size, and an 80L kettle.

it's not finished yet but it's operational again, except the mash tun
