After a few years of brewing on my steel shelving stand in front of my windows in the basement and many messes / spills, i decided i needed a more permanent home for my brewery that could handle the occasional spill / splash of boiling wort.
I had also gone through several upgrades and different techniques of brewing so my system was pretty piecemeal, i thought this would be a good opportunity to build a permanent home, and finally build a new PID controller to replace my DIY panel.
The current setup was located right next to my electrical panel, at the time i built my controller this seemed like the best idea, it didn't take too many brews to realize i need some more distance between brewing and my panel.
My main goals with the rebuild are to build a protected area to brew in that will contain any spills or splashes without damaging the room, increase my easy of brewing, and create a space that facilitates my brewing.
Anyway, here is my previous setup:
