Die Hard with a Spoon
« on: July 10, 2013, 08:14:56 pm »
So I'm in my man cave, easily 90°, 15 minutes left in the boil.

Die Hard enough?

Yes. I admire your endurance! I too have been in my man cave this past week building my new stand (shout out to Beechum) with 3 refrigerators running and yellow flies the size of your fist that are relentless. Easily +100* in Florida (@liquidbrewing can attest, and btw thanks man). Check out pic. Not done with piping yet, but you get the idea.

Die Hard Enough!  Tomorrow a pilsner - too hot for most ales anywhere at my place, even with a swamp cooler.  Chill and then straight to the freezer chest at 52F.  Maybe a Saison Sunday, though...

Hopsand that is the bolt-together design from the Zymurgy article?  I was thinking of going this route.

It's a variant. The one I wrote up for Zymurgy is a two tier.

Yes it is. I "generally" followed Beechum's design. I had to have three tiers though. I'm sure it was a lot easier to construct than welding, unless you can weld it yourself. It works good for mounting equipment, burners, chillers, piping, etc.

Try emptying 1000 lbs of hot grain out of you mash tun by hand, and having to climb in the mash tun while its still hot on a humid 95 degree Alabama July afternoon. That die hard? Or maybe it's dumb and dumber.

Die hard indeed. With temps around 90* i've been thinking about pulling an all-nighter just to beat the heat in the garage brewery.  Fortunately looks like the temps are supposed to be around 75* this weekend.
