What's your all-grain setup?

[jackflash]

I'm planning on moving my brewing out of the kitchen and garden and into a purpose built brewshed (complete with pool table).

I started brewing about 9 months ago, and I'm still brewing extract, but want to make the leap to All-grain.

I'm wondering what setup's different peeps on here have/recommend etc. It would be great to see a few pics of yer setups!

23L pot and bag on the kitchen induction hob but got booted out of the kitchen so I bought a Grainfather to use outdoors / in the shed

Yeah if you're just starting out in the all grain world and don't have a lot of equipment, the grainfather is a pretty good setup. Can't wait till ye guys start using and reviewing them.

33L stockpot and a bag.

I hate it now, would love some stainless steel false bottom set up.

Was using a mash tun before but the seals went and it was to big for my brews

wow that grainmaster looks really cool. Bit over my budget at the moment. I'm hoping to re-use my 30l kettle in my new setup.

In the Equipment section recently there were some threads asking something similar and there were 2 noteworthy links to 30 litre boiler/mashtuns with built-in elements that could be used anywhere you can plug them in. If I hadn't already bought the Grainfather I probablt would've bought the 2nd one

Edit:
1 - 2KW, 29L €88 + pp
2 - 2.5Kw, 30 Litre, fitted with valve and strainer £86

I've a 40L kettle I used on the kitchen gas hob with a bag. I've now picked up a buffalo induction hob as the gas wasn't getting a very vigorous boil and took forever to get up to temp. Haven't had time to try it yet tho.

anyone using a 3 tier system?

[Oh Crap]

I've a 2 tier setup, using 2 converted kegs and a 30l pot for hlt
Gravity fed from hlt into mash tun, pumped from mash tun to kettle

How do you find using the pump? I'd be afraid I'd leave it run empty! Why didn't you go 3 tier, out of interest?

I've got a 33L pot on a gas burner and a 48L cooler mashtun. Pretty happy with the set up. Wouldn't mind a dedicated HLT though but its not a priority.

I've a two keg electric system. I dont sparge and I constantly recirculate during the mash using the small 12v pumps and a pid to keep temperatures exact. I've yet to master the system.

Pump works fine and I can use it to whirlpool when cooling,
Height was the reason, I didn't fancy lifting the hlt up to top level so I lowered the mash tun so that everything is at eye level for ease. Also if the pump failed or any other problem occurred then nothing is too high to be lifted.

I'm using a keg I converted with two elements and a bag made from a penny's voile curtain.

Mash tun cooler box and peco boiler for 23l, but if I'm doing 11.5l I just do biab in the peco.
