This is what I'm going for, for the most part. Total plan is 3 keggle system with pretty much this stand, everything stainless steel plumbed (Maybe), and with water running through the stand with all the controls mounted below the HLT. HLT and MT electrically heated, BK nat gas. Would also like to hard mount my immersion chiller inside the bk and run hard lines back to my HLT, so I can use the (hot) waste water to CIP the entire thing.

Again, mostly dreaming, we'll see how it turns out.

I'll trade 3 pin locks for 3 ball locks and I'll pay for the shipping bith ways. :D

Why don't you do HLT and MLT on a tier and the BK on a lower tier being gravity fed.  Kinda like the Sabco system. I can send you the exact plumbing specs for it. It handles a rims and only uses 1 pump, no need for a priming system.

I only have two ball locks, 1 is missing a lid and they need new o rings, but if u want to, sure.

My only gripe with the mash tun being higher it removal and cleaning of grains. Trying to avoid the ladder, but I'd look at whatever specs u have.

I have a Sabco Brewmagic, and it's set up that way. Carrying shit is just o e of this things that you have to do when you brew, I don't mind it that much. Still a pain in the ass.

You got yourself a deal for them kegs. pm me for Details.

I might be in love with the new fermentors' yeast harvesters and butterfly valves, they're so awesome.

Thats a thinig of beauty for sure!

On second thought, i'll probably just start off with HLT/MT on the same tier. I priced out metal today to build my stand and I'd rather just keep the one I have and focus on setting up my HLT and MT on electric elements.

Nice! Vanilla cream stout got bottled today as well. Thinking of getting my friends together and doing a Xmas barleywine to open next Xmas.

Sounds like a good plan to me!  Next up over here is probably some kind of IPA...

Nice!  I'm still on the fence with beer.  I have some cider going, but it seems like there is a lot more to making beer.  I'd like to walk through a couple simple batches with someone before I leap.

Brewing beer is really easy, its when you start realizing you can make it an expensive hobby it gets complicated. All you really need is a kitchen pot, and a bucket and some ingredients

Well, ill just stick to the one gallon for now..  I don't have space for much more really..  with 6 tires/rims in a closet and a spare trans in a bathroom, space is limited...

I actually looked at the 1 gallon kit the other day.  Looked pretty cool.

Still plan on brewing an IPA with my new fancy equipment today.

 I've been following that hit tub rims thread. I would like to do it but I just got a new keg to turn keggle. Need to focus on the e-HLT setup and sculpture first.
