Joe, I sent you some pix...... All stainless 15gal. Keg setup. A friend of mine made the stand to my specs..... 3x 170,000 btu burners, March pump, Conterflow chiller. I have been working on it all for about a year now and I am ready to brew!!!!!!!
I'm a pretty good brewer, but terrible with computers.

I would like to place an order for one of those too. I'm sure you will take your brewing to a whole new level...

Very Nice rig you got there. I wish you had some better pictures of the plumbing, mainly the gas manifold.. close ups would be nice... I'm still having to look into building me one.
I had a minor setback though, I hit 3 deer today and totaled my front end to my car.

BrewDog, could you post up the link to your plans please, I lost the link the last time my computer crashed.

I will get some more photos of the plumbing. I used 1/2 in. blk iron pipe and brass gas valves..... Stainless flex hose sure helps out. Pretty easy actually.....I am headed to Austin this week for a business trip, but will buy about three batches of supplies at LHS there.... Will be ready to go when I get home.... My friend is very skilled with the welder. His response to me was"It gives me something to do besides watching T.V. and getting fat....." Life is good....Thanx for all the kind words guys....

BREWERDLUX,

Very nice setup indeed. All I want for Christmas is a ...
and ah.... and ah...
nevermind.

Just a word of advice, get yourself a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) if you don't have one already. I see that little 3 pin to ungrounded 2 pin adapter on the extension cord and it makes me shutter.

A GFCI works by sensing the 3rd (ground) wire for current. Under normal conditions, there is zero current flowing through the ground wire.

If there is a fault, current will flow through the ground wire. In a blink the GFCI will cut the power if there is even a trace of ground current. Thus potentially saving your life, or your kids, dog, Mother-in-Law etc. (I didn't say it was perfect. hehehe)

Very nice setup. I'm sure that it will serve you and your poker mates well.

Happy (and safe) brewing,

I was driving up around Glazer TX and along side the road is a burm on the other side of th burn is a Railroad track, a small heard of deer came over that burm right into the road in front of the car, there was about 5 of them but I only hit 3.

(the reason I was up there was that I was taking my son in law to Woodword OK for a job.)

One deer went over my car, barely missing the windshield, the second one landed across the road, and the third one was clipped by the mirror and fell over dead about 150 yards away from the other two. (I'm thinking internal bleeding on the third one)

HAHAHA thats kinda funny because me and my girlfriend was driving last fall to a dairy farm here that does fresh Ice cream and macked the hell out of a deer..... It just ran out right in front of us and she slammed on the brakes but couldnt even come CLOSE to stopping in time and we hit that thing HARD at 35-40 miles an hour.... she was driving her brand new car too... ANYWAYS the damned thing went flying up in the air and I coulda swore it was coming through the windshield... luckily for us it knocked it forward enough that it hit right in front of the car on it side....... and then the damned thing got up looked at us for a second like how dare you hit me and the just trotted off all calm like..... so now we are sitting on the side of the road with a totaled car and the deer walks away..... but you clip one with a damned mirror and it dies.....
