Pallet Wood Wine Crate

Moy perez woodshop commented on 15 Sep 2015

Very nice aaron. now you can see when your supply of wine is running low..

Make Crazydays commented on 15 Sep 2015

+Moy perez woodshop - Thanks Moy. Well, Elizabeth is the one most concerned with wine supply. I don't drink a whole lot of it.

Mark Hazlewood commented on 14 Sep 2015

For squaring up corners, get some steel electrical boxes and clamp to each side of the corner. I like your design and the end result. Nice job!

Make Crazydays commented on 14 Sep 2015

+Mark Hazlewood - Good idea with the electrical boxes. That'll be another trick I'll need to try. And thank you.

The Christmas Carpenter commented on 13 Sep 2015

Pin nailers are really helpful for making boxes (and boats) but another thing that can be helpful is an over abundance of stop-blocks clamped to your work bench. That was you can just butt your project up against the stops, then clamp the project to the stops, and then its like having someone hold the project in place while you nail it all together! Really nice crate too, I think my mom's friend might like one.

The Christmas Carpenter commented on 14 Sep 2015

+Make Crazydays I'm not sure if you're much of a gamer, but back in junior high when my buddies and I played Halo 3's Forge Mode, I would use that concept to make all the blocks flush in an attempt to make a better map.

Make Crazydays commented on 13 Sep 2015

+The Christmas Carpenter - I like the tip on using stop blocks clamped to the bench, that is a pretty good idea. I'll give that a try in the future.

Fire Crow's Workshop commented on 13 Sep 2015

Cool! Now I feel like having wine... Oh, dear...

Make Crazydays commented on 13 Sep 2015

+Fire Crow's Workshop - I might not be the climate. We have some pretty brown thumbs here, we've even manage to kill cactuses. My wife orders a grape juice concentrate specific for wine making. Where it comes out to about 30 bottles, think her price tends to be less than $2 a bottle, assuming her time is worth nothing.

Fire Crow's Workshop commented on 13 Sep 2015

So far the cheapest option for me is to drive to France and stuff the car with wine :D Grapes don't like British climate very much... Actually, anything I tried growing in my garden didn't like the climate... But I shall definitely watch those videos, as I'm rather interested in the process!

Make Crazydays commented on 13 Sep 2015

+Fire Crow's Workshop - Well, keep an eye out in a few months when my wife's wine making video comes out. Once the initial cost is absorbed, you can make wine pretty inexpensively.

Joe basementwoodworking commented on 12 Sep 2015

looks good man. thats a nice addition to the workbench.i love a good pallet project once in a while.

Make Crazydays commented on 12 Sep 2015

+Joe basementwoodworking - Thanks. I'm not big on pallet wood usually, but it was a great cause and it is fun working with the community.

Home Brewing A Kettle Sour Berliner Weisse with High Gravity BIAB Electric Brewing System 120V

ValiRossi commented on 30 Mar 2016

I bought the 240V 15 gallon system. It Rocks! I love it.

Crafted Magazine commented on 30 Mar 2016

Awesome man, it is definitely a great system!

TheCooperville commented on 26 Jan 2016

What Yeats did you pitch before fermentation and you guys really should invest in a O2 setup

Crafted Magazine commented on 26 Jan 2016

+TheCooperville Used White Labs German Ale Yeast for the primary fermentation. No sure pure O2 is necessary for a beer with this low starting OG. Fermentation took off like a rocket and finished very quickly. Thanks!

Bison2013 commented on 17 Jan 2016

Did you like the High Gravity BIAB Electric Brewing System 120V? I m curious if you had a better boil if you did it in a warmer location than the 45 degree garage.

Crafted Magazine commented on 26 Jan 2016

+Bison2013 I love it. I believe I would, waiting for summer to come around to find out.

Sean McCabe commented on 17 Jan 2016

Thanks for making this video. Is it crucial to maintain the 90 degrees over the 24 hours the lacto has to do its job? I do not have an electric setup

Neil Richey commented on 05 Feb 2016

+Sean McCabe I was thinking the same thing, please let us know how it works out

Sean McCabe commented on 26 Jan 2016

I'm going to do an experiment this weekend and see if my paint can heater in my ferm chamber will hold that high of a temp

Crafted Magazine commented on 26 Jan 2016

+Sean McCabe I've seen people allow the temp to free fall, but I wouldn't do it outside when it's cold. You want it to be at a minimum of around 70F by the time it's finished.

Jaimez Scott commented on 12 Jan 2016

When you took the sample that hit 3.0 pH what did the wort look like? You skipped ahead. Was there a pellicle or any type of krausen?

Crafted Magazine commented on 12 Jan 2016

+James Scott not that I remember, very typical looking.

1st AG brew day on electric brewery

User Comments

Luca Cogoni commented on 16 Nov 2015

No, it shouldn't work like this, sorry but....no.

RubbishInRubbishOut commented on 17 Nov 2015

+Luca Cogoni - Not sure what the problem is, after learning how my system works and fine tuning my settings in Beersmith I've made some very good beer on this brewery!

Donze commented on 30 Jun 2015

Awesome setup. How much was the whole set-up? Was it a singular project or did you slowly put this together over time?

RubbishInRubbishOut commented on 01 Jul 2015

Australian dollars  :D

Donze commented on 30 Jun 2015

Im guessing thats in pounds not dollars, haha. 

RubbishInRubbishOut commented on 30 Jun 2015

+Donze It took me about a year to get everything together ... I spent more than it costs due to trial and error, but for what is being used it probably cost around 2.5k

johhnyglaze1 commented on 16 May 2015

Nice system bud. Calibrating a new system is always a troubleshoot but that is part of the cool experience of home brewing. Just one comment: Most of the starch conversion is completed in the first 20 to 30 minutes so if you under pitch your temps there is not much you can do unless you can make the change right away. I keep boiled water ready on the side and add some to the mash as needed. that keeps my temps where I want. Nice video though. Brew On Man!

RubbishInRubbishOut commented on 09 Jun 2015

+johhnyglaze1 - Thanks for the comment and the info ... I've managed to tune the system in reasonably well now and not only found pretty much the right temperature for the strike water to dial in the initial mash temp I need, but also to achieve fairly rapid ramp times. Thanks for watching!

discusctx commented on 26 Mar 2015

Just wondering how much does it cost to have this setup ? 

RubbishInRubbishOut commented on 09 Jun 2015

+discusctx - hehe, lots! I probably spent around $3k building this brewery ... it could be done for less, but there was a lot of trial and error - parts that didn't work etc. You could build a much simpler brewer that brews exactly the same beer for a fraction of what I spent too.

NewToHomeBrew Tom commented on 23 Jan 2015

Can't you fit another element in your hlt bud? Speed things up for you.

NewToHomeBrew Tom commented on 23 Jan 2015

+RubbishInRubbishOut ahhh brilliant!

RubbishInRubbishOut commented on 23 Jan 2015

Not really, there is a 5500w element in the HLT it should certainly be capable of ramping the temp easily enough.  What I did do though, was limit the flow of the wort through the pump so that it flows much more slowly through the HERMS coil, thus increasing the heat exchange transfer between the water and the wort.  I've subsequently been able to ramp the wort now at around 1c per minute, which is fine.  Thanks for watching!

Pallet Upcycle Challenge 2015 Brewing Bench

User Comments

chriscdr commented on 09 Apr 2016

Man that's a sturdy well built bench! Great project. All that hammering! If it wasn't so late at night here in the UK I'd be in my workshop dusting the sawdust of my hammer and pounding away at anything I can get my hands on. Great vid.

Make Crazydays commented on 10 Apr 2016

+chriscdr - It needs to be pretty tough since the upper shelf on the bench needs to support quite a bit of weight with a couple carboys full of wine or cider. So far it has held up with up to 10 gallons up there. Glad you found it inspirational.

Wooden you know it! commented on 29 Jan 2016

Great job sir! Love the scripture scrolling too!!

Make Crazydays commented on 29 Jan 2016

+Wooden you know it! - I love the handle. And thanks. It'll be making a cameo in one of my wife's videos on winemaking shortly.

BCdesign commented on 01 Sep 2015

That is avery nice bench that will last you years!

Make Crazydays commented on 01 Sep 2015

+BCdesign - I certainly hope that it will be sufficient for years. Or my wife is going to need to get some sort of license for selling alcohol. :-) The wood is all in good enough shape, so I shouldn't have any issues with it being too weak.

Angie Overton commented on 01 Sep 2015

Great video. As others have said... You don't see anyone using hammer and nails. Was there a reason for this? I enjoyed this project. Looks great. And like that you added about your faith. 

Angie Overton commented on 01 Sep 2015

It turned out great. The nails I'm sure do give it a nicer touch.

Make Crazydays commented on 01 Sep 2015

+Angie Overton - Originally I was thinking of using the nails from the disassembled pallet, but the thought of straightening out that many nails... unappealing. I found I still had some galvanized nails from either a previous project or building the house or something, which I thought would go nicely. And since I do not own a nail gun hammering was the only way to go. Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it.

Knotheads Cny commented on 30 Aug 2015

Great job on the bench, Aaron. It looks like it can hold a tank. Now it's up to the wife to make some really good cider. Dan

Make Crazydays commented on 30 Aug 2015

+Knotheads Cny - We are coming up on harvest season when the local cider mills we usually get the apple cider from ramps up production. And I think this coming month she was planning starting a new batch of wine.

Jake and Emmy's Dad Workshop commented on 27 Aug 2015

Thanks for the sub to my channel! I've subbed to yours. I really love this video and your very dry sense of humor :) Question: what did you do to level the feet? I've always found that to be challenging

Make Crazydays commented on 27 Aug 2015

+Jake and Emmy's Dad Workshop - I appreciate the subscription. Thanks.I think there are two aspects for the leveling. Weight I think is the biggest factor on this project. Also, clamping things into position when assembling the project helps keep things square. Early on in the project the legs were not square at all. Then once I put in the leg bracing things trued up quite a bit and took the rocking out of the middle leg.

I think you Should make automatic mob killer by using a big dark room and then make the mobs go trough an elevator .in that way you would get a lot of useful stuff like gun powder. Also i do enjoy your videos,keep up the good work! :D
