As if there aren't already a lot of these on HBT, I thought I'd post pictures, parts list, log, etc. of the HERMs build that I'm beginning.
My brewery (no name yet) will be very much based on both Tiber_Brew's and Kal's HERMs breweries. I am by no means a rich person, so I intend to cut some corners where safe and possible.....this will be a relatively low-bling build. I will however be posting my low-bling and (hopefully) "low" cost parts list for all to see so that other may also be able to get into the electric brewery game.
So...some specs. This will be a single-tier, two pump system. I have ordered three Bayou Classic 1060, 60-quart kettles from Amazon. The third one was delayed by the storm and should be here within a day or two. I will be heating with two 5500w ULWD elements, wired such that only one can be active at a time so that I can run everything on a single 30a circuit in the basement.
Without further adieu, here is a very preliminary parts list. As far as I can tell, my plumbing is pretty much knocked out and will be ordered tomorrow or Monday.
Edit: Wasn't really ready to hit "Submit" there, but apparently did anyway.
Questions and comments are certainly welcome. I've done a TON of reading on this, but by no means do I know everything I need for this project. I'm sure I will have questions about the build as time progresses and I get more parts.
Thanks in advance.
