Brew rig and other pics
I finally figured out the image thing, here are a couple of projects i have been working on.
Walk-in cooler
Adding tap box to walk-in
Yeast stir plate from an old computer fan:
Counter Flow Bottle filler:
CO2 Pressure Keg filling station:
And Swagman is building a brew rig for me...I made the CFC and did some really poor welds...If you need welding/fabrication...Swagman is DA MAN
and all for this....

1. Before you start brewing CLOSE ALL VALVES
2. When finished brewing and flushed OPEN ALL VALVES
Got to get it to basic type training

Re: Brew rig and other pics
The only "manual" is that before I can take this bad boy rig from Swagman's Shop is I have to brew with the system in front of the Swagman and his posse. Now talk about intimidating. They will forget more about beer brewing than I will learn in a lifetime!
Once I pass "sea trials" and have the rig at home, we will be having a brew party at my home in Lenexa...brewing, beer, BBQ and more beer...more to follow.
I would like to give a big thanks to Swagman, he has been a good friend while i have been recovering and has taught me a ton. You will not meet a nicer guy and awesome brewer.
Oh by the way, I just love to brew! Can ya tell?

Re: Brew rig and other pics
Just a couple more....
My recent project is a grain mill:
I finished the basement and put in a bar:
Bar has to have a pool table...right
There is more to life than beer...the hard stuff:
The Wine Collection...this is what eventually got me hooked on beer:

A Swagman trademark.....
Finally met somebody that is more sick than myself. Congrats!!
So, does the posse have a nickname for you yet, or im guessing you have to pass muster before earning your spot and nickname?
Also, whats the speaker behind the bar??

1. When a once extraordinarily hoppy beer now seems pedestrian.
2. The phenomenon a person has when craving more bitterness in beer.
3. The long-term exposure to extremely hoppy beers; if excessive or prolonged, a habitual dependence on hops will occur.
4. When a "Double IPA" just is not enough

I have to "earn" my nickname in the "gentleman's" club, given to me by the DON himself...but i am sure i know what it is going to be...must pass the trial by brew first.
every bar has to have music...

Re: Brew rig and other pics
Where did you get your pulleys\sheaves? We have everything to assemble our auto-crusher except those. What speed did you settle on with your set up?
