Lots of work done on the control panel this week. I'm about 75% done with the wiring. I have some pics: The panel is resting on top of the brewstand it will be mounted under the front lip. I have finished the heat shield It is made from .050 SS sheet. The boxes are surrounding the...

Thanks Dude!

Stainless sheet-metal is a pain to work with, but it looks good. It can take the direct flame, without discoloring, warping or corrosion. . This is the Mash Tun burner It is difficult to make the cutouts for my burner support brackets. The kettle will sit on these blocks to raise it 3/8"...

Thanks Bart for your help. I have been working on the burner guards to protect the powder coat.

I have formed angles from 302 1/2 hard SS and cut the ends at 45 deg corners. I am trying to learn how to TIG weld. Otherwise, I have to wait for my friend at work to TIG it up. I have to make cutouts for the burner supports. Then I am going to support the angles by 3/8" blocks with...

Maybe it's time fore to learn how to TIG weld.

Thank you!

Thanks Jaybird! Please send the promo code

I finally finished filing the holes for my switch panel. What a PITA!! Hopefully I can figure out where all of the wires go.

Alright, see, I could easily build this thing for the rest of the year. That BCS 460 is cool!! I'll have to check into it.

I am interested in seeing the SS coil for the HERMs. Where did you purchase the tubing from? Sounds like a nice system. Happy brewing.

Nice! I like it. Snap On and Beer.

I am using a sheet 0.063" thick 2024-t3 aluminum for the switch panel. The transformer, and terminal blocks etc will fit inside the diamond plate shelf.

Started working on the control panel today. The control will reside in front of the MLT, instead of being mounted on a arm. This will help for storage purposes. I cut the window in the diamond plate aluminum. I used a jigsaw, and cleaned the edges up with a high speed grinder. The control...

Thanks John! I enjoy working with metal. It seems like this brewery build is taking forever. I hope to finish it soon, so I can have a home brew. I spoke with Jaybird about making the false bottom for the Mash Tun. I just haven't began working on the kettles yet. I still need to plan on my SS...

I am thinking about going with this design. I can shape the blocks so that the flame flows past them smoothly, and with little resistance. If it does not work, how large of an area could possibly be affected? I could tape it off, and paint it with high temp paint. I think that my burner mounts...

If I add a block, that supports the kettle above the brew frame, it will allow the flames to escape freely. My powder coat is high temp, it should be able withstand the flames. Here is a picture of the unfinished blocks:

That is a simple fix. I might be able to do something like that.

Thank you! I'm looking forward to brewing beer with it this Fall.
