Brew system pics

[Stinkfist]

Here is my New Brewing System, It is an electric/gas hybrid, gets great gas mileage . Using 2 10 gallon coolers.

I was limited with my options since I only have access to 120v, so the element is only a 1500W and goes in the HLT and it is basically a normal HERMS from there, I do try and speed up the process by preheating the water on the stove.

The control Panel



The element in the HLT


The Guts of the HLT including the agitator


During the Mash


During the Sparge


Once I figured it all out it is working perfectly 80-85% eff and the clearest wort I have ever seen come out of a mash tun...lol

I also have the 4" and 6" Utah BioDiesel hop strainers. They work well. Nice job!

My only issue is it likes to clog up, gets a film over the screen and doesn't filter anymore...just acts like a cup for of very hoppy wort...lol

Nice work Stinkfist, that's a smaller version of what I'm building.

Time for another update. In a couple of weeks I'm going from this:



To this:



Yes, I'm going pro! I'm not particularly active on this BN forum, but without all the knowledge I've gained from the Brewing Network this would never have happened. I quit my teaching job and started working full time as the brewmaster for the new local brewery here in Bergen, Norway, called 7 Fjell Bryggeri (7 Mountains Brewery), on November 1. We have contract brewed a couple of batches so far, but our equipment is finally arriving in a couple of weeks. I can hardly wait. Life is good. A great thank you to everyone at the Brewing Network!
