Here's my newly found Craigslist steal...All electric HERMS mashtun and HLT. 5500 watt heating element, copper herms coil, sabco false bottom. Just finished wiring a dedicated 30 amp, 220 volt circuit for it today. This system allows me to use my existing brewpot and burners. First brewday on it is scheduled for this week sometime. I can't wait!
nice find, you have more details on your setup? what did you pay for it too?
Thanks Humann Brewing! I got it for 900 and it included an extra keg, a brand new counterflow chiller, and a bunch of spare parts. The guy who built it took excellent care of it so its still in great shape and he even included a folder with all the original manuals and detailed instructions on how to use it.
Basically I'm able to do all my mashing and sparging inside, collect my wort in my boil kettle and then I simply carry it outside for the boil. I did two batches on it this week and it works pretty well, although I had some issues with not running the pump fast enough during the mash and it caused the heating element to overheat the water for a few minutes. Its just a learning curve I have to overcome.
That paint job rocks. I would put some pin stripes on it to kick it up a notch.
I have the pin striping paint, just waiting until after my first brew to see how the paint holds up. The black is 500 degree engine paint but the rest is regular Krylon. The black extends to the horizontal beam and I think the regular paint is low enough that it won't be subjected to extreme temps.

Awesome pics, Chipster. Great paint job, and I love the silicone tubing and sanitary stainless fittings all over the place. Looks very professional, good work.
Mine is finally complete and as you can see from the photos, fully tested and delicious. I can't thank you guys enough for all the insight, ideas, and footsteps you put down before me. This is your guys' rig (no, you can't have it).
