This is SOLD. Thanks for the inquiries.

Have a couple of interests currently but will get back to you on parting out if they don't come through.

Wanted to have more control on the 5500w element in the rims tube so I could go full power to heat sparge water but back it down when recirculating the mash so as to keep from scorching the wort.

My layout but you can design however you would like. Circular cut outs easy to drill out DIY. The square cuts are already done. (Except for timer as that was an afterthought)

This is the original design. For rims setup. 3 pid's for rims, hlt and mash monitoring. Optional timer. You will still need xlr and power receptacles, pump switches and on/off switches, bus panel and relays. This kit just includes the most expensive parts/electronics.

Box with cut outs shown and heat sink on top

Thats good news. Sounds like everything went well. I will be trying the same thing tonight (on a smaller scale with only 1lb of DME). If you managed with 6.6 lbs - mine should be a breeze.

Did you just boil the dme with water or did you do as others suggested to me today ----take off some wort (to avoid watering down) and raise sugar and wort to 160 to sanitize and return to fermenter-- When should i add the DME (i am 24 hours into fermentation and is fermenting nicely) -...

Do you think you need to pull off an entire gallon? You should be able to dissolve approximately 18 oz of sugar in 8 oz of water. Granted that is unsaturated water so actual with already suspended sugars will be less. I would just worry about all the yeast you are pulling out of solution...

I just posted a question about adding DME to the fermenter today. This seems like a great answer - almost too easy. Is 160 degrees enough to sterilize the DME without killing the yeast cells in the drawn off wort? Is a light DME the best sugar to use? Any clue on how to figure the alcohol /...

I brewed an all grain IPA a couple of days ago and was way off on my OG. I ended up with 1.053 into the fermenter when it should be closer to 1.067. I have seen discussions about this in the past about just leaving the beer be and dealing with the less alcohol but those only dealt with 4 or...
