So, with the move from Belgium to Colorado done, I was setting my sights on brewing again.
Then, I found out that I would need to have a service outlet installed to provide power for my electric setup.
Then, I found out that I was once more deploying to Afghanistan..."holy ****!! nooo!!!!" you might be screaming, but I said "**** YES!!!! MONEY!!!"
and quickly told the wife that I was rebuilding again.
The idea 15G Electric HERMS BRUTUS....
The pots - found a guy here in Colorado that is willing to mod all the pots the way I want, nad treat me nice becasue I am a soldier.

There will be some mods, replace the tubing with stainless pick-ups, and use all SS 3 piece valves, also they will pop the holes for the 5500w elements in the HLT and BK. Add holes for the 25ft 3/8 od SS HERMS coil in the HLT, and add a sight glass to the BK.
Dual PID Control.
Hoping these PIDs will work, please chime in if they will not.

This is the starting point I think.

But to be honest, I would rather spend a few extra $$$ and have it built for me, this **** scares me.
Also, I already have 1 pump, and will pick up a second as well.
Also, also...iwill have the thermowells installed when I order the kettels.....
not sure if I am going to use a single tier, or a double to save some space...
So, any help, input or ideas are welcome
