Well after staring at the steel in my garage for the past few weeks I figured it was time I actually started this build. I got a pretty good deal on the steel $50 for 40 feet. I am not an experienced welder or fabricator but I am one of those "I can do anything" sort of people, not outta some weird self righteousness more out of the fact that I'm a cheap ass and wont hire anyone to do work I could have done myself. So the plan is to get the frame done and over the next few months acquire the parts to get it up and running. Its going to be a HERMS system using a CFC as a heat exchanger to maintain mash temps. Or at least thats what I plan on doing. I have never used this method and theres not a ton of info from what I could find. I did see on some other site a guy using this set up, his comments were that once you know get to know the system you can dial it in with ease. He did mention that it was difficult to do step mashes though, who knows well see. Heres some pics so far.
