The build is looking sweet!

I think you'll like it. I have a similar one. It was easy to hook up and works great. The waste water is a downside, but it can be used to water a garden or house plants.

The control box is looking good!

It came with a sink adapter which is hooked up to the utility sink. The adapter has a lever on the side that allows the faucet to still be used. The sediment and carbon filters have to be changed about every 6 months or so depending on the water quality. The RO membrane should last years as...

No, the RO water was only for a Reef tank. I use tap water that has been through a simple tap water filter for brewing. The city water here is pretty decent quality. It tastes good out of the tap and even better when carbon filtered. The water is soft with 35 TDS, but there is allot of...

I have the variable speed corded version, it's great. One thing that made the Dremel quicker and easier to use is a Dremel Chuck.

If the water softener removes stuff from the water to make it softer then using the RO on the softened water makes sense. If the water softener is adding salts or something to the water to soften the water the RO will have to remove whatever the softener is adding. I'm not too familiar with...

The hoses on the one I have are pretty long. I have it mounted in the basement and have the feed hose running up through an access panel in a closet to a first floor room. The waste water hose I had to extend to reach the hops in the backyard. Here is a 75 GPD unit from the place I got mine...

I've used a 5 gallon carboy for a parti-gyle starter. The extra room helps when stepping up. The amount of DME needed to make such a large starter seems wasteful. I think making a small beer and pitching the yeast cake may be more efficient.

Here is a pic of an RO unit hooked up The red hose comes from the sink faucet. Water goes into the sediment filter then through the charcoal filter into the RO filter. The RO mebrane rejects waste water which comes out of the black hose. This RO unit also has a DI filter which the water passes...

Kegging without a dedicated fridge is possible, but it's a PITA. I did it for a while before I found a cheap fridge on Craigslist. As the weather heats up it gets harder to carb the warm kegs.

Storage is a big thing. Equipment seems to always show up. Bottles and kegs take up a bit of room especially when building a pipeline.

Here is a combo I use and like: Nugget at 60 minutes Cascade/Centennial at 15 minutes (use either hops or a 50/50 mix) Cascade/Centennial at 5-0 minutes (use either hops or a 50/50 mix) Saaz Dry hop The Cascade and Centennial give it a citrus flavor while the Saaz tops it off with a pleasant...

You can also use a spray bottle with Starsan to check for leaks.

It could have been a 5.5 oz. I have the 11.5 oz version and they aren't very big. Here is a pic of an 11.5 oz glass next to a 12 oz bottle. The 5.5 should be about half the size.
