Brew Rig (Ball Valves)




Picked up some 1/2" stainless steel ball valves and threaded nipple which will be welded to the brew/boil kettles. Cost ~$16 for the ball valve and ~$3 for the nipple. Can be purchased at TTL Supply in burnside.

Brew Rig (Temperature Guage)


For measuring the temperature of the wort and boil water that will be dropped in the mash tun I was able to pick up some temperature guages from CTH Instruments. The gentleman said they are extremely accurate and high-quality stainless steel.

Specs:

TBM30040B8
3" 1/2NPT 4" L BACK
0~250F
-20~120C

Cost was ~ $45 each after tax.


Brew Rig



Chris over at hopdawgs.ca showed me his brew rig. I've created a similar rig that is almost a clone. Well I got a family member to build it (thanks!).



I will be purchasing some supplies from hopdawgs such as the pump and propane burner but the fittings and hoses I am hoping to find a local supplier. This way I can order the parts in small batches to make sure I am not over or under-ordering. Thus, no shipping required.

The fittings will be all stainless steel (except maybe the boil pot which I might use brass) with quick disconnects for attaching to the pump.
