    Post up a pic or two, Scott... Very interested.

    Wiring Diagrams

    You absolutely need a breaker in the panel, and could choose to make that breaker your single GFCI for the whole system... for me, it was cheaper to buy a spa panel with 50A GFCI breaker, a regular 50A non-GFCI breaker for my panel, and 15 feet of 6/4 wire, than to buy a 30A GFCI breaker for the...

    Wiring Diagrams

    Spa panel houses the GFCI breaker. Usually cheaper than a GFCI breaker for your main service panel. You need GFCI somewhere on the way to your control panel (even if just inline power cord, like Kal's setup).

    Good deal on a hop screen/ basket?

    I used a 10"x4" 300 micron basket on my last 12 gallon brew, and it was almost full with only 5oz of hop pellets... I'm curious to know if this is about what others are seeing, and what size basket I should upgrade to if I was wanting to do an IIPA... My rough math says 6x the space to hop 32oz...

    +1 on Ryan's customer support. UPS lost my package from him (they found it a few days later), and he was on top of getting things set right.

    Hoppo's E-Brewery Build

    Hoppo - You and I were on the same build/buy fence a few months ago. I'd really encourage you to build a control panel like mine... I still have to compile the final parts list and costs, but I would be surprised if I spent more than $800 on the CP (~$350 from Auberins, ~$350 from ebrewsupply...

    My electric brewery build

    Great points, slakwhere. I thought about switching up to longer probes, and guess I'll look at the cost of that versus putting t's on my kettle outputs and plugging the sight glasses. Mike - $65 for a 15gal plastic fermenter does seem like a reasonable solution to my problem. My 7 gallon...

    SWMBO has other ideas for today than brewing. Looks like tomorrow... BadNews, you may beat me after all!

    Yes, the cover was custom made. I leave all of the silicon hoses hanging off the front of the kettles, and the cover fits over it all very nicely. Contact info for the company that made it below... Creative Covers 3638 W 84th st Chicago, IL 60652 Tel: 800-970-0901 Fax: 888-777-9380...

    My electric brewery build

    Next to last post from me on this build. Got. Sweet cover as a Christmas present from my parents. Obviously, the bikes have to get hung up somewhere else, and I'll probably put up a sheet of stainless on the wall behind the kettles. HUGE thanks to Kal, Paul, Kevin, and so many others for their...

    False bottom from Midwest And after a lot of HBT research, went with a 300 micron stainless screen cylinder to filter hop pellets. :)
