Stained the stand this weekend, added all of the male disconnects to pumps, HLT and BK valves. Received sight glasses and silicone tubing from brewhardware.com (thanks, Bobby!), and will be installing those either this afternoon, or next weekend. Pretty sure I've landed on buying a 2 PID 50A...

Amazing how much less stress punching holes in the second kettle causes versus the first! Knocked out the BK in about two hours this afternoon. Only two holes, 30 minute leak test, and silicone around outside of heating element. Ordered two stainless hinges from amazon today, so MLT is next!

Hey ironmountainbrew - any updates on your build? It's very close to what I'm intending to build. P-J sent me your thread for the wiring diagram he drew out for you.

You rock! Thanks, P-J.

Should have posted this before my previous one. Here's what I'm currently thinking about as design "requirements." 50A 240V spa panel to 50A range plug 5500W element in HLT and in BK no back to back batches 2 or 3 PIDs and a timer (no BCS setup)

Did some thinking and research on control panel this week, and have found two options (neither of which is quite right??). Looking for thoughts/input, here please (P-J). :) OPTION #1: Interested in thoughts on the kit below, from ebrewsupply.com. Seems that for $557, I can get most of the...

No stress, Hoppo. We're both trying to solve the same thing. I haven't sourced any parts for my CP yet, as I seem to have "analysis paralysis." I'm going to spend some time over the next few days, thinking about the details of the brew process that I want to have, and see if that creates any...

SavoryChef - :) I'm aiming to brew on the system on Christmas Day. This is going to be a weekend project (with a nice push at the end of the year, when I take the last two weeks as vacation.) Within the next two weeks, I plan to have the kettles, stand and pumps done... Control panel is going...

Ajgeo - Got them on ebay. Here's a link to a current auction from the seller I purchased from... http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-100-QT-Quart-Polished-Stainless-Steel-Stock-Pot-Brewing-Kettle-Large-w-Lid-/190745925567?pt=Cookware&hash=item2c6957d7bf

Subbed. Looking good!

Here's what I built while the Redskins took a beating from the Steelers yesterday. http://youtu.be/FYkNTCm47oI

Here's the first element box, for the HLT... btw, despite the 240V/30A marking on the wall, I ended up having a 50A breaker in the main panel, a 50A GFCI spa sub-panel, and a 50A range plug installed. The 30A GFCI breaker was $164, which would have made it just as expensive as running 6GA +...

Here are a few pics of the brewstand build. Obviously, this is another Kal-clone build.

That's disappointing... I uploaded them through HBT, and can see them when I look at the thread. Sure I'm missing something simple here.

After four years of small batch homebrewing, and reading many threads on HBT, I've decided to take the plunge and build my "once in a lifetime" electric 1/2 bbl build. For starters, here's the "old" system. 9 Gallon stainless boil kettle with turkey fry burner, ~70 quart cooler for mashtun and...

No problems with my order for a dual pressure regulator. Less than a week from internet order to receipt of package. Good customer experiences get told to about 1-2 people while bad customer experiences usually get told to 10. :fro:
