Hello Fellow Brewers...
I have been brewing for years and was well under way in building a traditional AG Brew rig before I found BIAB site. As with most of my projects interest turns into addiction and i scrapped my previous design and started to fabricate by Guillotine rig. Wanted to play with the new concept and met a fellow brewer ho has switched with excellent results. I realize all systems have thier pro's and con's but this process seems like an interesting gamble. If all else fails I can always build another rig.
The Guillotine specs:
She will Hold a 100 QT pot which i will have set up for 10 gal batches. I am hoping with the size i will have plenty of room for some high velocity beers as well. Winch system with bag and my pot came with a strainer basket which i could use as well to releave some strain on big mashes. Have a control panel which will be set up with thermo controller for heat, pump system for sparging and chilling, Working Light, and Light stack to trigger off events so i know when burner is on or pump running, etc...
Rig will have thermo controller, 30 plate wort chiller, and March pump to circulate. simple...
Frame is fabricated, painted and ready for accessories. Control box is 1/2 wired and expect to start working with fittings soon. Any input would be appreciated as often I like the build more than the brewing.
Cheers,
NWB
