Brewery updates

Sat Feb 05, 2011 9:44 am

Changed the location of my filters and plumbed them in. Changed the inlet direction since the new location where my stand will be living will have the water hard plumbed from the left.

Then cleaned up the stand and painted it. I know it will all burn off but what the hell.

Put the stand in place tonight. Just need to finish up the plumbing and find a cover. I've bought 3 BBQ covers and none of them have the height I need. I think for now I'll just get a tarp. Maybe later I'll make a cover.

Got the plumbing done. Boiled the kegs I'll be using as fermenters to break up the goo inside and burn in the new paint.

Very nice. What about using hi-temp engine paint for the frame?

Very nice set up. Where did you source the high temp engine paint?

Nice job! I'd keep an eye out on your water filter setup being so close to the sources of heat though.

EDIT: Ahh, I just noticed there is no middle burner. Still, even a smaller amount of heat may warp the filter housing.

Well I've put 4 batches thru it and works great. I love having it all set in place. Takes less than 10 minutes to get ready. No more major set up or tear down.

Heat has not been a problem with the plumbing or even the paint. I figured BBQ paint would burn off pretty quick but it's nor been much of a problem.

I'm brewing two 12 gallon batches tomorrow since fest is coming and I have to have hand surgery so I will be crippled or a while. Hopefully I can get some friends to help me brew while I recover.
