Since my last post, I have gone from extract brewing to brew-in-a-bag (BIAB) brewing to traditional all-grain brewing. Here's a quick tour of the setup:
The most unique part of my setup is a water distribution manifold which distributes ground water to the water filter, the plate chiller, and a cleaning hose. No more going back and forth to turn the water on and off throughout the brewing session.
A spray bottle with water is kept handy to prevent boilovers and the pump can be turned on and off with a conveniently located switch. There are spare outlets for things like an aeration stone pump.
My mash tun sparge arm / recirculation return is a line-loc assembly which can be adjusted to the grain bed height for reduced bed disturbance.
The kettle now has a whirlpool arm for trub separation post boil. Haven't been successful getting a dense cone of separated trub yet though. In this picture the sparge has just begun.
I have an assembly to measure the output temperature of the plate chiller and aerate inline, but have yet to use it.
