Oh well, if you promise not to fracture any ribs from laughing, then I'll show you my ghetto setup.

60 litre (approx 16 gal) aluminium stock pot, 55 litre esky mash tun, LP gas with 4 ring burner etc, and a lot of prayer.

Cheers mate.

PS. Hang on! I did warn you you might fracture a rib. Besides, that brazing is the first time I ever tried to heat something up more than a cup of coffee!  :D










 
I use a 15 gal Blichmann as a mash tun or hot liquor tank depending on how much grain I'm using. I have two 10 gal Blichmann kettles one for mashing and one for boiling. Like the 15 the one 10 can be a hot liquor or mash tun. Both the 15 gal and a 10 gal have the Blichmann Auto Sparge. In the first picture the 15 is the hot liquor tank with a 10 gal is the mash tun. I have a Chugger pump for recirculation and sparge. Also pictured are two Blichmann burners. The next picture shows the Auto Sparge at work. The third picture is my wort cooling system. I pump recirculating ice water through a chill plate. The last picture is what I consider one my most important pieces of equipment a grain mill.

Since posting this I have added a Tower of Power to my system. I also using the computer interface to control the process.

prj28- I agree on the grain mill being important. It's also kind of fun milling. I find different grains require different gaps sometimes Heres mine. I long for the day to upgrade to a nice roller mill, but this one just keeps working fine so I will wait till I need a new one.
CHEERS! to all homebrew setups and their creators.

 
I've got the same mill and love it!  I put mine on a 2x4 which I hang over a bucket during grinding.
 
We have two brew systems the club shares.  My club, Almaden Brewers, meets once a montsh for a brew day or a day filled with making beer, drinking beer and having a grand day of it.

The original system, knows as the Perfect Wife, is a three tier, three burner gravity system with an inline therminator for chilling.    The new PLC controlled system, affectionately referred to as the Trophy Wife, is a mono tier system that has a PLC controlled instant hot water heater, with two pumps, two counter flow chillers, flow meters, temperature probes and a sweet set of gauges, LED , LCD display, and digital readouts.  Additionally, we have extrs standalone burners, kettles and chillers for brewers who want to do extract batches. 









 
Hi fellow brewers here is my homebrewery setup... I do BIAB and that's a mixed berry beer that I was bottling. I have a dual Bar/Brewery in one room and the garage is my storage area.

New brewer here, did 2 extract kits and jumped to all-grain. Cheap but effective.
