Not too late - I've been on holidays the last 10 days or so. I believe I'm planning on 20 inches between the keggles and the hood, so that should work fine. Build is coming along - I'm taking a break from sourcing parts at the moment for budgetary reasons, but I returned from vacation with a...

I'll put together a list and post it. When I wrote the above I had not purchased everything yet, but I am still coming in a lot cheaper than ordering the kit - especially because so much of it came with free shipping, and I had access to a cross-border shipping depot that enabled me to take...

I am glad I held off on purchasing the $270+tax GFCI breaker for my panel, because I found a 30 amp inline GFCI cord from this site: http://www.hosfelt.com/contents/en-us/d702.html#p5341 I actually found this via an old thread here which said (at the time of writing) there were 5 left...

This relay is for the power in. The receptacle you see it connecting to is a 4-prong 240V in coming from a 4-wire dryer cord plugged into a standard 4-prong dryer outlet protected by a 30 amp GFCI breaker. This relay is to power up the system. The switch that is connected to the coil is a keyed...

Thanks - I think I understand now after doing a lot of reading about relays last night. That is half the reason I'm doing my own panel, I love learning about this kind of thing. So, does it matter which sets of terminals I use to connect to the parts of the brewery? On that diagram above...

It's a DPST relay. Here is the specific product info: http://magnecraft.thomasnet.com/item/725/92/w92s7a22d-120?&plpver=1005&bc=100|1095

Hi all, as you may know I am working on a Kal build, and I bought some relays that another HBT user went with that were much cheaper (and enclosed which I liked). I'm just curious about how to wire these things, since they look different than the Kal ones. Is the picture below pretty...

MY FIRST CONTROL PANEL PARTS SHOWED UP TODAY! Relays, 3 of them, from Future Electronics. Wow, talk about fast - I ordered them yesterday and the UPS man just came by. Now, just to wait for the rest of the 4000 parts and an enclosure to install them in. Still. SO. EXCITED. PS, fall-line...

Good day all! I am currently building an electric brewery setup in my garage (thread here). I'm using converted kegs for my brewing vessels, and one thing I'm having trouble deciding is just which style of weldless bulkhead to use for all my fittings. It seems that most of the major...

Thanks - I would appreciate that - got some feedback from Kal over at TEB.com, I'd love to see how yours is too. Planning to use a 6" Vortex fan. It won't be a long run at all (straight out the wall) so I may even consider a smaller unit. I live on Vancouver Island, BC, and apparently those...

Over the weekend I connected the water from the crawlspace under the house to the line to the garage. What a headache trying to get a leak-free connection between the black poly water main and the 3/4" pex in the crawlspace! I think I finally got it. All other connections were easy as pie...

Thanks Hoppopotamus - I am planning to use drywall behind the tile as this won't be a very wet area like a bathroom floor or shower. I already had a look at your build for the vent hood - nice job. I'm going to build a simple box and construct it with similar lag screws and washers and of...

Thanks! I love Seattle - basically the whole Pacific coast is pretty sweet, right? How about this September weather eh?

I found (through help here) the same enclosure that Kal used in his build on ebay for $100, shipped. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Shipping-Date-Nov-17-th-16x16x8-400x400x200-INDOOR-OUTDOOR-ENCLOSURE-W-B-PLATE-/400322382412?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d3512ca4c#ht_8446wt_918 It's backordered at...

Hey gang - I'm working on a PROJECT! I've finally gotten to a point in my build that I have some pictures of stuff that I want to share. When we bought this house about 2 years ago, I knew that it was PERFECT for a larger, purpose-built brewery. I discovered TheElectricBrewery.com some time...

I disagree - I have priced out my parts, and including shipping, I'm running about half the cost of his kit, with most of the same parts (all the major parts, PIDs, relays, enclosure, etc. are identical). There are so many places online (especially in the States) that ship for free. Yes...

Right on - thanks - I will probably build mine out of 2x8 or even 2x10s since I have the height in my garage. I'll also devise some sort of drip catching system because I honestly can't see myself wiping down the FRPs mid-brew (and would probably have the towel sucked into the Vortex fan!) I...

I'm considering building a similar hood and am debating using 1x12 if I can find it or 2x12 so there is no need to build two rectangles on top of each other. However, I'm curious - I can't see where you screwed them together - can you be more specific as to how you attached the two pieces...

Me too! I'm ashamed - I'm usually quite the ebay ninja. I use a package receiving company in Point Roberts, WA. My mother lives just across the border in Delta, BC. It won't ship till Mid-November, I don't know how I will stand the suspense. I live on Vancouver Island, so I will have to wait...

Holy Schnikeys. Done. Free shipping to USA too. A better enclosure for half the price, thanks!
