Looks good man, keep the forward momentum going!!!
Originally, I planned on using the BCS-460 for control. Now that I'm pretty sure I'll only use 1 5500w 220v element, what PID would you recommend?
(even though a rims for on-demand hot water and sparging WOULD be awesome)
It is the future...

How do you sparge with steam?
Guy, I think you're right about that....but it DOES push the envelope in terms of safety. Sure, we play with fire and electricity, but high pressure steam can be pretty dangerous.
Though I would never attempt to make one, I really like the calandria that GreenMonti and Kladue were working on......what a cool concept.

I can't wait to see a whole mess of hops swirling around inside this basket!
I thought that too....heating the copper first, then the screen. just keep in mind that the screen goes red hot with zero effort.
Prolly won't use the screen until i get all the plumbing set up. It's going to be $$$$! I think I need to call KLG stainless....their website has some issues but I still want to go with them because they have the best prices.
Install butcher paper in the basket before adding the screen, expand the screen tight to the basket then clamp the joint. Solder away for a perfect fit that can be removed. A rather basic DIY project.
This is a pretty good idea...hindsight is always 20/20! One thing I found is that if you fit the screen tightly, you don't need to create a "seal"...i.e, you don't have to run epoxy for the entire seam, nor would you have to solder the entire thing. You just need to keep it in place, and the basket will do the rest.
In that case add a 1" overlap then use a couple rare earth magnets provided the basket's magnetic stainless.
