That's a nice looking build! I'm in!

That's gotta hurt. Well, less building time is more documenting time, amirite? ;)

I brewed this up pretty much to the original recipe last Sunday for Father's Day. Nailed the 1.040 OG. Took my first gravity reading today and it's spot on 1.010! Sample was nice tasting. I have ~2 gallons fermenting in a 3 gallon corny and ~8 in a 10 gallon corny. I figure a pound and a...

Got a thread on that control box? I have a few ammo cans and am planning to do something similar.

Actually, not sure what I was thinking. It's a 3-MD. So "mag drive" but there is a spindle in there that goes through the housing. It's been a while since I opened it up. I guess the only thing to do is try it.

Little Giant pump is a little different internally. I think the impeller is actually direct-driven. I do want to replace it eventually. I'm sort of embarassed the solution didt come to me more quickly.

Duly noted. :) I'm using hoses, so I could probably rig up a male to male quick disconnect segment to join the two hoses together, then disconnect and put the pump inline. Have to think about this.

I can see I'm being unnecessarily complicated here. But that how I roll. I want to run water, from my hose, though the heat exchanger as depicted. I figure I won't need the pump if the hose is supplying it because of hose pressure. The hot exhaust water would go into the mash tun cooler, to...

I picked up a second pump to allow me to set my mash and kettle on the same tier (fell off a ladder. ouch.). I'm doing some layout diagrams to figure out my new flow. I figured I could also save some water by recirculating cold water from a second cooler. Bonus, I could potentially use it as...

Yeah. They are 110V. My quick typing. And thanks for the other advice!!

The fans I ordered are 100v. SO I thought I could just wire them up with everything. May get osme power distribution blocks to make it easier. Now that's a nifty little thing!! Just found a three-outlet one at HD also. It will let me plug in two pump boxes and have one extra. Excellent...

84 views and not even a "use the search, lazy-ass!"? :o

After falling off a ladder with my last brew day tending to my mash, I decided it was time to get a second pump. I have a Little Giant 3-MD mounted to the bottom of my BrewLadder to return liquid to the mash tun, but wanted to move to single tier. So I bought a Chugger. Since I break my...

Ahhh. Gotcha. I was trying to decide between TCs and RTDs. Especially since I'll be using this for multiple applications (high heat for the grill, immersed for the mash, etc). Might have to look into this. I assume there's a guide out there.

'Splain this. ;) Sounds complicated.
