Very impressive and inspiring! I really like the way you were able to put it to use for transitional batches as well. Great job! Cheers!

I've been using as a hybrid system with the pumps and chiller only using a cooler mash tun as shown in the previous posts. I have now tweeked the burners, solenoid valves, Love switches, etc... to work together.

I'll be brewing a BPA the weekend after we get back from NHC.  ;)

Can't wait!  :)

Very nice Ron and Cap.

The details is where it's at and distinguishes the master from the neophyte.

Thanks Euge.  :)

Capozzoli did some really great welding on the stand. I was super impressed. He's a real pro....no doubt. He'll be happy I posted the brewstand as he's been asking me every month when I was going to post pics.

I think he also wants to use the photos for entry in the Miller Welding competition.

Outstanding, Ron!  That is one Howlin' setup. Definitely worthy of a brewery name like Smokestack Lightning ;)

Seriously, that is one of the cleanest builds I've seen. Caps off to Hats...er, reverse that! ;D
