Electric Rig complete. Video link.

is the video for the build. It's complete and making beer. Improvements and tweaks of course are still making it a work in progress, but You'll get the idea.

Built using an IBM computer case (gutted) as the control box. 2 Keggles, recirculating Mash through the BK. Welded 1" square stock stand, which turned out plenty heavy.

I've got to do a CIP today (brew day on Saturday got WAY too late to deal with it then) so I'll try to snap some pictures to add to this thread.

Thanks to all those who offered advice, and a HUGE thanks to PJ for his assistance in the Elec. Dept.

 

I love the idea of using an old cpu tower as a controller case. Consider the idea stolen!

Prost!

 

Here are the photos finally. nothing exciting. Made the mash paddle, Sycamore.

 

that link doesn't work, doug

 

Fixed link.

 

You sure?

 

Try that?

 

That did it! Lookin good!

 

nice!

 

What's with the pig's tail screwed into the lid in this pic?

 

Great ! I love the mash paddle. Elf style ?

 

That pigtail looks to be a nozzle for the end of a water line. We use these where I work in one of the vessels when it goes through a wash cycle every 36 hours. You can also see them on fire sprinkler systems.

 

That's exactly what the pigtail is. Wig the right flow, they spray great for sparing. Sadly, gravity is really tricky to get the right flow. I'm going to pick up a second pump to go single tier. I think that will do wonders for my efficiency.

 

I wanted to do an organic design, but yeah, elf style about covers it.

 

Reading what I wrote and I hope I didn't insult you. Sorry if I did.

 

We're good. I think I took it in. The spirit intended. Besides who diddnt enjoy the LOTR series.
