Looks awesome! What kind of pumps are those?

We have a teenage daughter, so total usage is pretty high.

No worry on the hijack. One could also have tri-clamps on the vessel ports, use tri-clamp valves and tees for temperature sensurs, but then have TC-camlock fittings facing the user. This would give you the benefits of (1) being able to orient all the valve-ish bits without worrying about...

1. The chiller has a cross-piece on the top with holes. I bolted it to one of the unistrut members that runs front-to-back on the underside of the wood top. 2. I think mine had odd connections for the water in/out. Morebeer says that it uses "¾ inch MPT and ¾ inch FPT garden hose fittings"...

After cleaning up from brew day this last weekend, I snapped a couple of photos to show how things ended up evolving after the first few brews. BrewKaiser nailed it that the TC fittings on the HLT and MLT are a bit of a PITA. I'm in the process of replacing them with cam-locks. I'm also...

+6 gal "Big Stout" +6 gal American Pale +6 gal Rye Pale 663 + 18 = 681

I used two of these in my controller: https://www.automationdirect.com/adc/Shopping/Catalog/Relays_-z-_Timers/Solid_State_Relays/Panel_Mount_Relays,_Hockey_Puck_Style,10A_-_75A_(AD-SSR6_Series)/AD-SSR640-DC-280A Only a few brews on my system so far, but no issues yet, and they seemed to be...

Spike Conical CF10, so hot right now!

It really is a nice looking setup!! What sort of covering/coating do you have on the floor?

Just a guess on the color contribution from the frappuccino. -Homer Tragedy of the Unicorn Belgian Pale Ale (24 B) Type: All Grain Batch Size: 5.00 gal Boil Size: 6.53 gal Boil Time: 60 min End of Boil Vol: 5.99 gal Final Bottling Vol: 4.60 gal Fermentation: Ale, Two Stage...

I don't see them either, just ~12x12x6 in. Another option that avoids cutting the square hole is something pre-cut like: http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34&products_id=143 But, I would make sure the controller was no where near the kettles since it has...

Wow, looks like it uploaded right-side-up. I've tested one of the elements successfully. I ended up building a small partition wall in the garage to hold the control panel and paraphernalia. A little more plumbing to finish up and then test the boil kettle. I will get some more pictures of how...

Ok, not sure if this will upload, but here's the work in progress. Bored, sitting, waiting to get seated for dinner; so here I am posting with my phone.

This seems like a good size for the single kettle build, and the plastic will be easy to cut. Winning. :mug:

On top of the frustration, cramming the components and wires is unsafe for a number of reasons. Spend a little extra on the box to get the bigger size.
