I also installed a green LED right above the key and wired it to the heartbeat so I know every thing is OK (and the flashing...

    The "U-Brew Mark One"

    I haven't brewed on it yet as I have to run a 220 line from the box in my cave to the brew kitchen in the next room, The sink does double duty as I have the cooling lines plumbed right into the side walls of the sink and the plan is to fill the sink with ice and water to run the plate chiller...

    The "U-Brew Mark One"

    Here it is finally finished, build pics will follow shortly tho I must admit I was a little lazy documenting the build. It is powered by a Brewtroller 4 Pro board, and I used Blackheart's control panel as a model.

    My Cave

    thru the doors is the brew kitchen and you have to go thru the kitchen to behind the bar, and yes I did it on purpose to keep people from behind the bar. 2 or 3 drinks and everyone wants to be a bartender! It keeps floor mopping to a minimum. And yes I can reach the taps from the front as I do...
