Gary Johnson's Og's Grogg Brewtree

pimp1This current brewtree evolved from a portable unit.  I designed it to be gravity fed from hot liquor tank (HLT) to fermenter. I designed the parts and a friend fabbed them up. The first feature is the modularity to move the jet burner from any vessel while lit (with a gloved hand). It also has a hopback, water filter, oxygenator and reverse chiller -- all home-built. The latest addition is a Recirculating Infusion Mash System (RIMS) / pump system with the heat exchanger in the HLT. This has served me well, but I am in the process of designing and building a Brutus 10 (single tier, stainless 10-gallon brewery) so I can do more, with less hassle on brew day, out of my garage. (Winters in Pittsburgh really suck.)Pimp2

Legal Keg Use & Homebrewing

Repurposing a keg for homebrewing is illegal unless you’ve purchased the keg from a brewery or a reputable keg dealer who themselves purchases kegs from breweries. Liquor stores, restaurants and bars do not own kegs and cannot legally sell them. A deposit paid for a keg is solely intended to incentivize its return; paying a deposit does not convey ownership of the keg and so should not be misconceived as payment for a keg, which always remains property of the brewery. When legally purchasing a repurposed keg for homebrewing, insist it is accompanied with a clear title naming the seller, asserting that the seller came to own the keg legally, and naming you as the purchaser.
