HLT 3800W (Camco) element with PTI 100 - Sucks the amps but works well

Techni Ice 60L esky mash tun.

Herms 20L Birko urn + lots of copper coil - This replacement urn's too big needs tweaking was advertised on ebay at 10L .

96L boil pot with rolling stand.

Brew controller with illuminated switches for HLT, Pump, Herms.
PID (rex 700 + SSR) for PTI 100, Stc's for Herms control and mash tun temp readings.

New addition is the key station. Idea is as (if) the vessels grow in capacity the key station should not need modification.

Wheel barrow is perfect for the gran transport to feed the chickens.

Don't mind the ghetto grain mill hopper. It's been 8 months but it works

Love your valve panel there. Pretty cool!

Got my table from ikea it's great table

A few weekends worth of welding:



It's got mounting points for my chiller, Hermit HEX and one burner. Had a collapsible structure but it was annoying the hell out of me dragging it out of the shed every time. This has wheels

Built from 40x40x3 scrap box steel I came by cheaply.

Good work! I wish I could make something custom like that but a handy man I am not.

Here's my compact rig. Simple but effective. Currently doing no-chill BIAB but this would make a great HLT if I want to try 3V down the track.

Bought a rope and pulley today to make pulling the bag less of a PITA. Looking forward to tomorrow's brew day a little more now.

edit: Wow that pic is really big, need to learn how to make it thumbnail.

Hi guys - thought I'd put this up here, just finished the first brew on my new DIY electric, recirculating, temp controlled BIAB rig.

Pretty happy with how day went - but forgot to add Irish moss so could end up with a slightly more cloudy pacific ale than I was intending.

Cheers
Pikey

Here's my setup. Looking to upgrade to a RIMS system in April. Ready for a brew tomorrow!!!

might want to look into some slight refinements to your electrical work... electrical tape isnt the most 'water-proof' option to have your joins when its around brew equipment..
also, a ground connection for those elements might save you entering a 'darwin award' listing in the future

Pikey,a nice simple setup there ,try to figure out some sort of anti bump guard to go around the pump and outlet hose.
You don't want the outlet snapped off during a brewing session.
Cheers....spog...

 

[Fat Bastard]

I think it's nearly finished...added a bunch of cheap Chinese tri-clamp fittings as I was sick of bashing my knuckles on stuff doing the twist and pull hose barb hand jive, and a timer so the HLT is ready to go when I drag my carcass out of bed on brew day mornings. I just need to get some flash engraved signs for the controller, like I said I was going to do a year ago.

Thanks for feedback SBOB and spog - are you two related?

Haha - yep have the heat shrink piping already to go before next brew day, but not sure how i am going to waterproof the kettle switches yet - I will have to look as to how to wire up a ground - any suggestions?

Ideally I am going to mount Pump & temp controller inside the crate so that they can still be accessed - should eliminate that possibility

Took about 8 months to almost finish my rig, couldn't wait to organise a stand for it yet and put my first all grain brew thru it about 2 weeks ago. Still needs some tuning with beersmith

sometimes the answer is right under our nose... The old bike lift may live to shine again as my brew rig thingy

Hope you pulled your garage door down only for a few seconds to take a photo and don't brew in an enclosed space with gas all the time mate?

Nice rig though!

 

[droid]

door down just for pic, all good but a timely reminder nonetheless, cheers

Part of the rig - the grain mill. "Artisanal" hand crank and recycled camping chair.

What purpose does the pot on the ground serve Putri... Judge?

The mill stand should be in the Ghetto thread,good stuff.
Love the Jarrah brew stand and the Wainscot on the pot.

Pot on the ground is the boil kettle, on a 3 ring gas burner.
Also, did you spot the name change?
