Thanks, I’ve been working hard on this setup all summer. It’s made some pretty good beer so far.

A buddy i work with used that diagram to install the digital controller.

Since the last pictures i posted, I've added a small cartridge style heater that makes it easier to control the temperature. I’ll try to post.

This thing is awesome. I cant wait to see more. I will be scrounging sp? scrap yards for one of these. That is a really cool setup and is a marketable item once you get it all complete. Good luck and keep us posted!

Ebay is your best bet in finding them. Every city has a used restaurant equipment company, work a deal with them. Most of these units are sitting around.

I'm inspired by your posting. I found an older Blickman Touch 'N Brew at a local Used Restaurant Equipment shop, and the guy wants $200 for it. The thing is definitely not in mint working condition, mainly just missing a couple of the little connection lines on the top. I'm don't have welding skills or anything, but I've got some time and definitely want to learn how to fix this thing up if I can to make it work like you did. Do you think it's doable?

I have a chance to pick up a smaller one of these. Twin 3 gallon urns and a 20 gallon water jacket. I'm thinking of mashing/sparging in the urns and boiling in the water jacket. What do you think?

My works realy well for mashing and sparging. I don't think i would try to boil in it...it could make a mass. The one i have is twin 3 gallon tanks. It an handle up to 20# of grain. I used it today as a matter of fact!
