Looking good Pol. Is that going to mount in one of the kettles?
That looks great Pol. Where did you get the coil? Or how did you get such a nice coil if you did that yourself?
I almost suspect that you brew beer just so you can build cool shvt.
I am equally interested in brewing as I am in building stuff... I admit, the ONLY reason I sold the HERMS was so that I could build something cool and have an excuse, and $$ to do it
Nothing wrong with that. Thats what makes this hobby so much fun.
On the Blichmann website it says they will drill for you, but for a nominal charge, so it may not of been practical.
I may get the BK drilled and fitted this evening, I am trying not to get impatient... getting the BK, MLT and Chiller complete will be a very large portion of the actual fabrication.
Time to walk away for a bit.
For the thickness of the tubing, SS is not that much worse. As well, SS stands up better to certain cleaners and never suffers from verdigris, which is poisonous (and hard to see if it is inside the tube).
And it looks really cool.
How much does it weigh? My 55 gal electric BK is about 90 lbs. With all that beautiful bling, I'll bet yours is just about as heavy. Should be fun to clean...
Maybe I missed it Pol but, how big are those kettles?
If it only weighs 40 pounds with that coil and all those tri-clamps, those blichmanns must be pretty thin SS.
How are you planning to CIP?
I knew you would break down and post pics of your build. Looks good, but do me a favor, don't build a third rig. Your build is costing me cash. Looks really good. Pots just look sooo much better than kegs. I really like it and know I'm going to like it when it's finished. Might be hard to part with when it's born.
