Subject: Web sites illustrating state of the art setups ?


I'm an ex brewer. I haven't brewed for 6 years. I have SS brewing vessels
and a counterflow chiller and a lauter tun made from a cooler. I've
forgotten most of what I used to know ! I want to start brewing again and
I want to simplify my setup a bit, making it easier to handle, easier to
clean, etc.

I'd appreciate links to some websites that illustrate what is now state of
the art for home brewing setups.

Thanks.

In my book, "State of the art" equals a good combination of economy and
simplicity. Here is a link to the BrewLadder, which I designed and
built from a 6-ft. wooden step ladder. There are three of them in known
existence, mine (#001) and two others built by our club members based on
the design shown here, each with their own unique modifications. It is
an all-grain device for use with two coolers or buckets for
mashing/sparging, and a kettle/burner on the ground.

I'm not sure if all of the systems on this page are state of the art,
but I always enjoy ogling the systems here:
