Yea I mean its workable but all it takes is one time for you to forget and you would never have the chance to forget again. The cost of a female plug is the same as a male one. Plus the entire bloody point of the spa panel is safety.

Butterflies showed up.

Yea holy crap this thing should be taken apart.

More bling and some more panel parts showed up. Im continuing work on software for panel. Pretty sure everything is shipped and on the way at this point.

Nice hands free seems like the way to go.

Progress Update: Got some fittings from Brewhardware and started working on the hardware and software for control panel.

I had a dream about swing out hooks on the basket to where when you pick up the basket they would just grab the rim at the top, should allow for hands free action so I can use both hands to pick up basket. I dig your solution though, looks clean and easy to use. give or take something like...

You beat me to it augie lol

I wanted to do something like that with the whirlpool return but it would block the outlet for steam on my system since lid only has one hole. Bought panel supplies. We are going 220v :)

Yea already did the math on that too :/ My old system had roughly the same deadspace and it wasn't an issue. I plan on mashing at full volume and doing recirc during the mash so I dont expect any problems.

Back to business. Order placed with Arbor for basket. They wanted $50 for the support hooks so i'm going to just make my own out of copper pipe or buy some SS bar stock and bend my own. Badger Pipes wont make me a custom pool heater with TC fittings so just going to roll with the china...

Yea i'm not going 2 elements haha, Ill just make sure to have them install a couple of GFCI 220v circuits for me inside and outside to future proof myself a little and roll a single 110v element for now and go from there. Worst case I get a new element and beef up some wire in the panel and go...

idk... something inside me says I should do this with 110v so if I can bring it over to a friends and do a brew or something but I mean... That has happened like once in my brewing career and it was like 4 years ago so honestly i'm leaning toward just rolling 220v. Im having my house built so it...

Crude but this is pretty much my basket plan with some cross braces that will go under the basket on the pot rim to support it to help it drain

Yea both those places are on my radar. My pot just showed up so going to hit them up for quotes on what I want. :mug:

benefits of clamp gasket lid :)

I will purge the kettle with CO2 before starting the mash.

No I dont but I'm going to go ahead and order it with my other crap from china so I will be able to test it and give results here with a chugger pump at least. for $3 it looks like an awesome solution but yea, not sure how how much PSI will make it work enough for my needs. I dont need mist I...

Badger emailed back "100% Stainless" so now I just need to fully decide on what one I want to use.... I assume they will both get the job done, but I would imagine the badger pool heater works a bit better since it has all the tiny tubes.
