Is it a hybrid? Gas and electric? I presume that horizontal copper tube is the RIMS section? What is your reasoning for not going all electric?
Looks cool though... I am in the process of converting my HERMS to all electric with a control panel. Nice rig

I went with the gas figuring I would reach my strike temp. quicker. There Have been several threads about scorching wort so I have 120v feeding the 4500 watt element on the rims. This brings it in at about 1125 watts and I thought that would take to long to reach much of a step in temp.

Nice....I'd be sure to put a 4th leg on the top tier....from what I can see, there's only 3. Looks like a pretty sweet rig!

Completion should be close to the first of the year I hope. Depends on the fittings being welded into the keg. I want it done with a tig, I have a mig but it makes a terrible weld on stainless. Santa Clause is also bringing my pump hopefully.
