NOT FAIR!
I clicked on this link expecting to see pictures, and you didnt post any!
You need to get on TOP of that.
I will post mine as soon as I get home and take some. Prepare to be disappointed!

That is a mash tun.
The copper tubing it slotted on its underside and filters the grain out from the wort during lautering.

Jshakour, I take it you havent started all grain brewing yet?
3 carboys and two primaries. Thats a nice setup! I only have one carboy right now. Boy do I need a few more fermenters!
Cheers

never tried all grain yet. I just ordered a bunch of exract kits from the Northern Brewer.
what are the advantages to all grain? during the filtering process dont the slots in the copper get clogged fast?

After an initial investment (for the mash tun and grain mill only if you are already doing extract brewing), the cost per beer will be reduced by purchasing bulk grain. Also, there are more variables available to control, giving you more flexibility in what you are able to do (ie - Full body infusion mashing vs. Light body infusion mashing. Single, Double, Triple Decoction mashing). These variables greatly influence the end product which is your beer. You can make it as easy or as technical as you want it to be. Also, its WAY more fun!
during the filtering process dont the slots in the copper get clogged fast?
If its made correctly, the milled grain will not be able to enter the cut slots. The slots do not have to be very large, and milled barley malt is not particularly fine (think grape nuts, instead of flour as an approximation). I personally use a stainless steel mesh instead of the slit copper.

You have to run off some wort into a container,maybe half a gallon & pour it back into the mash tun. that gets any grain junks cleard out. then you run into the kettle.
You have to make sure the slots are not too big, & that the grain is not milled to fine. It works really good. Theres more info on my site from an all grain batch i did a few months back.

Check it out and let me know what you think:
http://www.hoppyhomebrewers.com/forum/v ... p?f=13&t=2
This is my current setup:
Customized 10 Gallon Cooler Mash Tun
- Removed the plastic spigot
- Inserted a stainless steel ball valve
- Attached a stainless steel mesh filter on the ball valve inside the mash tun
Customized 7.5 Gallon Stainless Steel Brew Pot
- Drilled hole towards base and inserted a stainless steel ball valve.
- Attached a stainless steel mesh filter on the ball valve inside the brew pot
7.5 Gallon Aluminum Water Boiling Pot
Propane Boiler
Custom Built Counter-Flow Wort Chiller
- Built using 3/8" soft copper tubing, 5/8" durable rubber hosing, and copper pipe fittings
- Cools 120F wort to 65F wort in less then 10 minutes with the use of around 5 gallons of water
Custom Built 3 Tier Racks
- Nothing fancy
- Uses gravity to get the job done
Everything connects together using stainless steel hoses such that the wort only comes in contact with copper or stainless steel components.
I love this setup, it makes brewing extremely easy. Just start at the top and work your way down.
