For me, using Tri Clamps just makes the clean up process easier. Undo the clamp, remove element from vessel, take vessel out for cleaning, reassemble. Don't Tri Clamps have a cool factor too????

Dude!!! That looks awesome. I can't wait to see the rest of your build.

Did you have any problems with the solder running into the threads? How did you prevent that from happening?

WOW! That looks great!

I still have to plumb in a plate chiller. Yes, the pump output is pointing downward. I arranged it this way do to the space limitations on the shelf and getting everything to line up plumbing wise. I expect during my trial runs and testing I will have to make changes as I don't plan everything...

Thanks!!!! I'm not sure though...his setup was really nice! ScubaSteve I have been contemplating adding a drain because I am concerned with contaminents growing if not fully drained. Consider a low point drain installed. Thanks for your input.

A stainless bracket is in the works.

Ok a couple more pics. Front Back

While I wait to order the plate chiller so I can finish the plumbing, I moved onto wiring the panel. My SSR heatsinks mounted on the outside.

With a 3 day weekend I managed to get some of the hard plumbing completed. Some slack in the power cables were needed so that I can remove the elements when cleaning. I used spiral wrap to keep them together.

They would go stupid here (my employer) if I toted in a few cases of bottles to run through the autoclave. But that is awesome that you can!

Do you seriously have an autoclave set up within your home?

70% IPA seems to be the industry standard in the bio/pharm labs. Next thing you know we will be brewing our beer under HEPA laminar flow:)

+1 on the jigsaw and file. I used the same method with good results.

Looking good!!!!

Ok....here is the "ever changing " schematic update.

Ahhhhh......Now I know what your saying. Like this?

I'm not sure I understand your question. I am using one SSR per heating element. One element for the BK and the other element for the MLT. Each controlled by their respective PID.

I thought I would also include my ever changing schematic for this build. I also may be setting myself up to be flamed by doing this. Anyways.....

We must've ordered from the same person...Ebay? All the plumbing is going to be hard piped so I am hoping to do a few bends. Hopefully I don't screw it up as my supply of stainless tubing is limited.
