Sorry for the crazy late response, i didn’t see the last few comments until now. Just in case you still want to know….I don't actually know, I got it for free from a friend that owns a restaurant. It has held up well so far, no issues. I'll double check to see if there was a label on the table.

Sorry for the crazy late response, i didn't see the last few comments until now. Just in case you still want to know.... Yes in the end I added 3 extra switches so I could turn off the alarm function for each PID separately. I often have the timer going for the boil and want to clean the MLT...

I made 5 gallons of honey sweetened sparkling cider from some locally sourced unpasteurized cider. It comes from the high school my father works at and tastes great. So come the end of the season and they had an extra 5 gallons, in small 1 quart bottles, which they offered me for free. The...

Ah little details, yes its a 30A 240V single phase service (2 x 120V legs). I ended up buying a 50A GFCI Spa Panel and connected that to a 30A dedicated breaker in my main panel. I did recently hear from someone that it may be better to reverse the order, and have the brewery plug into the 30A...

That does sound like an interesting concept, but I have 4 fermenters so can have multiple batches going at once. The 3 vessel setup is more complicated but seems to offer more flexibility.

I do enjoy brewing on the system, it would be nice to have it stay setup in one place, kind of a pain to put together and tear down every brew day. What is the 3rd pump doing? I didn't quite follow how that helped you maintain water temperatures.

The control panels are very similar on the outside but from the guide on Kal's site the internals are laid out differently. I probably should have included a picture of the inside of the panel, but there is only so much space in the article. As far as I know the function is nearly identical...
