I have always wanted a brewstand ever since I read my first Zymurgy Magazine. The question at hand is “What kind of brewstand will work for me”.
I want something practical with some automation and something that will stand the test of time. Something that will be able to take a licking and keep on brewing.
The answer for me was “The Brutus 10”.
With the help of the superior welding and fabrication skills of Capozzoli. We started the “Brutus 10 Build”.
This is a work in progress.
Here we are at The Capozzoli Metalworks Cafe.
The metal has arrived. We have (2x) 2"x2"x20’ by .120" wall 304 Stainless Steel square tubing. Ready to cut!
Yeah, lets see more pics. You can never have to many pics of tig welding.
Lets see some pics of the parts cuttin guy too.
Im thinking about going to get some fresh killed chickens next brew stand work day Pho lunch. Convinced them to let me take pictures. Maybe we can include some pictures of that process in this thread too; although unrelated, pics of TIg welding and chicken killing have to go together well…right?
Only if you weld at least one chicken wing.
Maybe you can do a blowtorch lunch, braised chicken( ;D) and flan with the carmelized sugar on top.
S’mores if you’re less ambitious.
After that we headed down to Thang Long Vietnamese Restaurant on Kensington Street in Philly where we ordered Pho for lunch. It was close enough to the shop that we walked. Excellent food! 8)
It depends on what kind of deals are available. Blichmann kettles are pricey, but they sure are fine looking kettles. I have one keggle, so I may get the Capster to help me out on converting some kegs.
