Henway, is that electric powered? I like how you mounted everything to the wall, but how do you keep the wall from catching on fire???

Nope, it's NG (also note the CO detector on the top-right side of the fan). The wall used to be an exterior stucco wall for my detached garage and is > 50 years old. I also have a small SS sheet behind the keggle to divert any flames from the wall. I also pull out the water-heater aluminum run-off pan you can see on the right and stick it under the keggle to prevent the linoleum from any heat damage and to collect all possible overflow and wort that escapes when changing or pulling off the disconnects off the March pump.

After a 11G brew day the wall has radiant heat from it like it would on a 90degree day for a couple hours...

I oxy-acet welded all the wall hardware.

Sweet, it still scares the hell out of me, but it's awesome!

Ghetto? Come on, a coat of paint and it's everything you need. You got your pump, your keggle, your IC, and your water filter--you got the most important stuff.

Remember, a skanky garage is better to brew in than a nice kitchen...

Make beer!!!
