3 tiers. Heavy as hell. Ugly as shit. But here is my baby:

Day one in the welding shop, we built the first 2 tiers:
I did every weld myself while being overseen my my very skilled cousin. Some look nice, some look like they came out of a toothpaste tube, but the fker is solid.



2 tiers done:





After a few batches I made it back out to the farm and built the third tier:


Sparge Arm




I needed to come up with some shielding for the heat on the mash tun:


The wife, patiently waiting for the barleywine.


Not as shinny as some of the systems, but it was a great learning project, and it is close to the kegerator.

Yeah! Just dont forget to put it back on the car before you drive!
That is classic, my man, simply classic

[PhillyBrewer]

Castors and some tubing seem like good first upgrades.

Man that's tough dude, gotta real shovelhead prison look to it!

[262andbrew]

Yeah, had to get creative for heat shields and sparge arm .

The first brew on the 3 tier setup was an IPA, and a buddy knocked that brigs and straton box into the boil kettle just a few minutes before it got to a boil.

The big debate was whether to call the beer:
"Indian Ghetto"
or
"Skid Plate IPA" (because the B and S part was a skid for the snow blower)

All I know is that the 2 named IPA was the best beer I ever brewed. I was getting worried that we would blow the keg on day one while brewing the barleywine.

Sorry I'm new to all grain concepts,,,, What is a sparg arm? I know what a sparg is.

A sparge arm is a bent license plate moving the water from the HLT to the MT.

Build looks great 262. I like the "personal touches".
