Brew Day V2.0

I mentioned it in another thread but I need to say it here. This brew system will double as a great sous vide system. There's a good chance I'll do some sous vide cooking with it before I make any beer.

The sous vide machine here https://www.amazon.com/Sous-Vide-Supreme-Water-SVS10LS/dp/B003AYZIB4 is vastly inferior to what I will be able to do, and I'll have two 20G independent vessels that can be controlled much more precisely than 1*F vs their single 11L (~3G) vessel.

Anyone have any cool ideas for what I could put here?

naked Jessica Biel would do just fine.
 
I sure did; you should know, you voted for it.



That *** hair got a few too, I imagine.



Tons. None of them worth getting an infraction for.

Wow. I'm reading these posts and I'm thinking not how to be a man by reading Balloun's posts and thinking about how to be a dude by reading GF's posts. GF is my hero.

Please don't drink and drive, Dick.
 
You're doing it!!!!!

I know, right?

I really didn't expect to be able to do this this year, or next year, or the year after. I had it on my five year plan list.

Can't say enough about how happy I'll be to not have my brew days affected by which way the wind blows. Hard to convey how huge an impact wind is using propane burners outside. I'm done with that and I'm ****ing thrilled. I can't count how many times I've delayed brewing because of wind.

This type of system (essentially a Kal Clone) seems really awesome to use. It takes care of some kettle watching but is not an automated system by any stretch of the imagination. This is a hands on brewer in full control type system. I'm really excited to start using it.

I don't plan to have it in a functional state for the poker game but I think I'll have it set up for demonstration on my upstairs table. Would love to talk about it with anyone interested.
 
Oh, and I haven't shown the interior wiring because I wanted it to look good but it's a damn mess. Not that it's wired wrong, it's not, but I've seen pictures of pristine wiring and thought I could do that. If I was to build a second unit maybe I could, but this one isn't a showpiece on the inside.
 
I have a few things I'll no longer be needing with my new brew system.

Probably the most awesome is my trusty mash tun. I've replaced the cooler a few times when they get too beat up and this one is less than a year old and in great shape. The Rubbermaid ones have a tendency to buckle if you put water hotter than 170F in them. This one, an Igloo, doesn't seem like it's going to buckle, but I haven't specifically put 170F+ water in it to find out.

I also have a 40lb Propane tank and a 30lb propane tank.

To go with the propane tanks I have two bayou classic burners, the KAB4 210,000btu high pressure banjo burner and the SP10 55,000btu jet burner. They are rusty but perfectly functional.

I also have some greenlee punches that I used to modify my kettles. I have a 13/16 (size of the hole it makes) punch and 1 1/4 (again, size of the hole it makes) punch. Used the 1 1/4 twice and the 13/16 nine times.

Already have some of it listed on KSL but it's always nice to help out someone you know or just a fellow jazzfanzer.

If interested PM me and we can talk about prices.
