Brent just upgraded to a fully automated brew system, so I bought his old one and I'm now the third person (including Derrin) to take ownership of and brew on one of the nice shiny Brewers Hardware stands... Feels darn new to me, though!

Overall, my first brew session went far more smoothly than I could have expected. A few kinks to work out and lessons learned, but by spending most of Sunday planning how to configure QD's, tri-clovers, and tubing, I was able to make it through a Monday evening brew session without running into any hose configurations I had forgotten to build

I captioned the G+ photos with pretty complete descriptions. Since Brent was keeping his pumps and chiller (and I already had my own), I set it up using what I had existing there. I also decided to keep my 20-gal morebeer BK in use as an HLT on this system rather than his 15-gal pot. I just know that if I had sold that big kettle I'd end up kicking myself for it at some point down the road, and it actually fits on the stand, so I might as well use it...
