  You should consider adding some diagonal lateral trusses to your setup. Then it won't be so
  wobbly and is less likely to fold over flat on you. The lateral perpendicular ones you have are
  only helping...

  I put mine in the bottom, gravity drain as you described, put a ball valve on the intake (top)
  only, and offset them by 90 degrees. Doing so allows easier access when installing (removing).

  Do you have a wiring diagram? So, I usually do 5.5 gallon batches to result in a full five
  gallons at end of ferment. Can you get this final volume from the kettle or do you top off?I do
  not have a wi...

  Do you have extensive electrical knowledge? I really want to put together a system like this
  for the winter, but I have zero electrical knowledge.I don't have extensive electrical
  knowledge, just lurk...

  I have been thinking about a similar setup but use my current mlt (cooler conversion) as a
  sparge tank. I am concerned that the 2000w element will no he enough to boil 6+ gallons to get
  a full 5 gallo...

  If you put one kettle higher than the other you can remove a pump from the system. I have a 2
  kettle electric system similar to this. There are pics at this link... only time wort leaves
  the system i...

  You can get by with one pump and do what you want. Just put a valve on one pump, and use
  gravity a little bit. I'm very pleased with my setup. And I doubt I'll ever go back to gas.
  Electric is a lot e...

  So you are just topping off, that makes sense, I've thought about that too. Dumping grains
  seems easy enough clean up wise, but the BK will have the coil in it, and I don't want to have
  to chase loose...

  I'm asking this without having read the entire thread thouroughly, so you may have already
  answered it.Instead of adding your "top off" water to the BK, couldn't you add it to the MT and
  continue to d...

  Res, with it hard plumbed, you must be doing CIP? Does that mean your break material and
  everything is just getting rinsed down and pumped out?Yes, I do clean in place. I put all
  additions in bags, ma...
