A brew sculpture is a structure that holds the various vessels (Hot Liquor Tank, Mash/Lauter Tun, and Boil Kettle) used in all grain brewing. One of the major advantages to using a sculpture is that it normalizes the brewing process allowing for a smoother brew day and increased repeatability. Vessel to vessel connections can be made somewhat permanently and optional devices like pumps and chillers can be mounted as well. Most sculptures are made as compact as possible and feature castors/wheels to tuck it out of the way between brew session. The variance of design is limited only by the brewer's imagination, budget, and fabrication skills.
