Just starting my E-HERMS build this weekend.
I plan to have three Keggles, HLT, MLT, BK and three pumps. I want to run two 5500 watt elements at the same time along with two pumps. For now I'm looking at buying a chiller from Sabco, it's very pricey but it does what I want to do. We'll see how the funds go.
I plan for this to take a few months because of a upcoming move. My wife and I moved from Alabama to Washington state 10 years ago due to work and now it looks like we're getting to move closer to home, Richmond KY. So, I hope to get the kettles finished before the move and build the stand after.
This weekend I started on the kegs by cutting the tops out using an idea posted by PassedPawn. This is by far the easiest and cheapest way. I can't say thank you enough to PassedPawn for sharing this idea.
I also started polishing them for a chrome shine. Man, this is a LOT of HARD and VERY messy work.
Also purchased my 50 amp spa breaker box from Home Depot for $52.00, it was $98.00 at Lowes.
I will post as often as I can to keep this undated.
I'm really going to need a LOT of help from you guy's. I've read up on Kal's, Tiber_Brew's, Caynonbrewer and a few others, also have a diagram from P-J who I can't thank enough. I know I'll need much more help as the build progresses.
Here's a few photo's of the start....
