I just purchased the last piece for my e-biab build today. Hoping to be brewing a test batch with the new system next week. here's my build https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/gts-e-biab-build-461536/ What was the cost of your control panel? This was the cheap part of the build for me. I...

I did two brews in mine before I installed a dip tube. I used the tip the kettle method.

Im in ofallon and use straight tap water also. I think our tap water is some off the best tasting around. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Home Brew mobile app

I picked up the steelhead pump from northern brewer. It's a pretty solid pump. http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/brewing/brewing-equipment/pumps-and-plumbing

its a mechanical ground. On a 3 wire dryer cord you just ground the box. It's all good.

No I sure don't. It's basically the same concept as the diagram PJ created. It is the first one listed in this thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/list-pj-electrical-diagrams-382286/ The only changes I made were to the 120v portion of the diagram. I kept the 240v circuit strictly...

and the inside 10awg for the element 14awg for controls 20awg for the temp circuit

The control panel build I was fortunate and able to acquire the enclosure and most of the components for the control panel. The PID and lighted switches had to be purchased. panel layout all of the holes are cut components installed and some panel tags

Construction work has been pretty slow this year. I had some extra time off so I finished off a couple projects. here's the chiller I fabbed up. The plastic hose adapter on made it one brew session before I changed it out. My brew table made from extra hardwood flooring. Painted my...

I picked up the exhaust fan for Christmas and was able to install it during my holiday break. It's a Tjernlund 6" 530 CFM inline fan. With only one 90 in a 10' run it should do the job I hope.

next up was tackling the exhaust hood. would love a blinged out stainless hood but couldn't justify the cost. So I went with a 10" x 32" x 32" wooden box I constructed out of 1"x10"s and 3/4" plywood. The inside is sealed up extremely well. I coated the the entire inside with a roll on bed...

well, the basement brewery build was officially started back in October of 2013. It's taken quite some time to acquire the parts and pieces. Most of the material/components were extras or left overs from various job sites that I've worked on. The brew area is a pretty small space that's about...

The AB tour is very impressive to see. Not far from the airport is Ferguson Brewing Co. - One of my favorite places to eat and drink. Trailhead Brewing in St Charles is another good place to grab a bite Kirkwood Station Brewing Co. is a staple for me. I always have a nice selection of Urban...

Hey by chance are you the same Forsman that made the screenprints hanging on my walls? If so :mug:

I just kegged an Orange American Wheat today. I zested 5 blood red oranges and added that to the boil for the last 10 mins or so. I also took the fruit from the 5 oranges and steeped them for about 20 mins in 160 degree water. Kinda made and orange tea out of it. I added this to the wort at...

I have the perfect black & tan and love it. It makes a perfect pour every time. Never tried the turtle though.

Yeah. The control panel is done. I finished it up last week. It's a 30a 240v system with PID control. I'm just starting the last part of my build, the kettle. Just curious if the 5500w element is overkill.

I've had my 10g kettle for awhile now, so kinda locked in with it. I normally don't have a problem fitting the grain bill in. Some bigger beers do get close though. what type of time range are you getting with the 5500w?

is a 5500w 240v ulwd ripp element too much for a 10g kettle doing 5g biab batches?
