What are you building right now?

[JakeAndBake]

I'm up here on campus with a bunch of wood about to start on my version of this. I've had a few false starts, and had to go back to the drawing board when my girlfriend rejected my idea of making the whole thing look like a TARDIS. I'm getting the base of the box built today, and once my tax return comes in I should be able to buy the co2 regulator, beer lines, and electronics.

Right now, the only thing I'm held up on how to do is the door for this thing, and how to rig the electronics. I pretty much need the whole front to open up, so once I get the base and frame built, I'm gonna have to play with ideas on how to get the front to come up on hinges, yet still seal well enough to maintain a decent temperature. The freezer I'm playing with is quite a bit smaller than the monster Mylo built his on, but I'll still be able to ferment 2 carboys of beer, plus have 4 kegs on tap.

If anyone out there has any information on Arduino/BrewPi/FermTroller/BrewTroller/WebControl boards hardware written in stupid-ass laymans terms, I'd really appreciate it. If I had the time to invest in really studying it, that'd be fantastic, but right now I'm doing all this in my off-time from school. It can get a little hectic.

Anyways, there's that, and I have a few other projects on the back burner, like a device to hold my wort chiller at a desired depth, a metal brew sculpture, and a stir plate (probably the easiest...and I already have the guts wired, all I have to do is get off my lazy ass and build the housing.)

I won't lie, it's a bit overwhelming, since I have a tendency to take on far too many projects at once and then have the pieces sitting around, but getting through my backlog has been satisfying. Hopefully over summer I can get a bunch of this random shit done...

After re-finishing an old display case for a beer glass case, (so I can give the Mrs. back her kitchen cabinets), I'm working on building a fermentation chamber for my Brewhemoth that will be arriving sometime in the next 2 weeks......THEN, it's time to get my brew on!!!!!

Does it count that I recently built an ordering database for when I'm doing brew orders at the LHBS?

Not unless you got a paper cut.

Just kidding! That's some serious do it yourself man shit there!

I dismantled 2 dorm fridges and I am building a fermentation/lagering chamber. The whole contraption will double as the base for my bar. Maybe I'll take some pictures one of these days.

Finally got some pictures. It's hard to get a wide angle shot in such a small space, but I hope you get the idea. One side is the lager/serving side, and the other is the fermentation side with a temperature controller. I intend to put some panels on the sides, and a bar top on it. I will put a tower over the serving side and then I will say, "It definitely doesn't get any better than this."

Nice work, can't wait to see pics when she's finished.

Awe what a stick in the mud. This is what I did to our kegerator for my wife's birthday party.
