Sweet build. However, you mentioned that you were moving to PID control of the HLT and BK burners. Just curious, is having those bottom drain fittings directly above the burners and therefore subject to substantial heat going to cause a problem? While my system is all electric and I do not a...

Build looks great, especially the finish on the kegs. Where did the hood come from? Looks like a pretty nice commercial grade unit. Definitely will stay tuned for updates.

System looks great. As for the difference between the mash tun and HLT, I am unsure on why you are seeing the difference. I just recently switched to a kettle mash tun from a cooler mash tun and have not had that problem. Then again, I never ran a wet test so I am unsure if my system would do...

Thanks.. As soon as I posted I found it. Of course you beat me back here before I could edit.

Any chance someone could point out the 30 inch-pounds motor? I looked on the website, but am unsure which motor is being referred to.

1. Re-build my fermentation chamber to make it bigger. 2. Add a vent hood to my e-build. 3. Brew >150 gallons for 2012. 4. Enter at least 1 beer into a competition.

Hood looks awesome. I am highly reconsidering re-designing mine and going with something more like yours. Couple more questions about it. First, how did you mount the 1/2'' plywood "hood" to the 2x6 base and top? It's hard to tell in the pics. Second, how do you plan on mounting it...

Yea I do have some more recent pictures but I am out of town at the moment. Actually made some changes to the control panel and added two more pids and a timer. Also, I plan on staining the stand in the next week or so. Will work on getting some new pics up ASAP...

I'm intrigued by your hood design. Any details? In for updates...

*Edit* He said his auber timer, not a PID. I personally have not had any issues, but would assume you have a loose wire somewhere. I just saw your build so you do have it wired to a buzzer and reset switch. I would make sure that all of these connections are good. Obviously the timer has...

I agree with this. Did you think about just mounting a metal 2-gang outlet box and the running the wires and making the connections with the wire nuts inside the box? They are only a few dollars and you could add one of the solid metal plates with gasket on the open side. It might not be...

I also built a Kal clone awhile back, but only did a 30amp. I have to admit the 50amp is sweet and I kind of wish I went that route. On a side note, the towel bar is awesome and I am totally stealing your idea. I was standing in the brew room the other day scratching my head on what I could...

My understanding is that Blichmann false bottoms are made by a press. Accordingly, there is a little variance and some have experience similar issues like you with them not laying flat. Based on prior comments, I would recommend that you contact the vendor you purchased it from and advise them...

Any spots to be sure to visit while in Italy? I am going to Italy in May.

For my power cord I used a 30amp dryer cord. They are easily found at any big box store, but are normally only 5-6 ft (I have seen a few 10 ft cords). It worked for my setup simply because it already had a 4-prong dryer outlet plug on one end and nothing on the other, so I was able to simply...

I see all of them.

Are those plugs from the big box store? They look identical to the ones I have on my system. The cord grip worked just fine on mine. I admit that they were tight, but remember they are a "cord grip" and are meant to me. When you tighten the grip down the wires will separate better and lay...

Looks good. Really like the grating on the bottom. Out of curiousity, what is the "shelf" for on the back?

No worries. That is partially my fault for not reading the "Detailed Description." To be honest, I saw it in the "Brief Description" for the B-grade and just assumed otherwise for the others.

I'm in the same boat as well. I did not see any limit on the $27.00 keg, but only the $19.00 keg. I guess I will be calling tomorrow...
