I've been so busy with my home remodeling this summer I haven't brewed a single batch. The taps on my refrigerator have been dry since winter. I'm almost done with the hard part of the remodeling so I'll hopefully be doing a couple batches soon.

Here's a BBS (Big Brew System) I had the chance to work with last fall with my brother in law and his brew club.

The trailered system with some drunks in the background. 55 gallon stainless steel drums. Mash tank on the right, hot liquor tank in the middle, and boil tank on the left. It also has two burners, a water filter, two electric pumps to push fluids around, and lots of valves to guide where the fluids go.

And split the spoils.

I've always wanted to give home brewing a try but it hasn't happened yet. It sure looks like you guys are into it big time, nice set up.

I've been brewing for a couple of years now. I lost interest for a while after I had a couple of bad batches, but I'm itching to get going again. I just have a basic kit and do extracts, but overall I've been happy with the results, as have a few people I've given samples to.

I'm thinking about trying all grain but I don't have a lot of space to store the equipment right now.

Looks like you guys have quite the setup! I can hear liver cells crying in pain right now!

Wow that is one hell of a set up. It is art baby. I also like to look at the Brew sculptures over at www.morebeer.com. But i have not brewed in a very long time, adn I am just a novice extract brewer. Some day i will up grade. I also perfer to brew in the winter as it heats the house up a hell of a lot, and my wife HATES that sweet sweet smell of steeping grains .... Mmm
