Hoses done.

So one observation I've made with doing these leak tests is that I almost always have leaks when I disconnect the hoses after the pumping from one vessel to another is complete. Is this typical? Anything in particular I can do to keep the mess to a minimum?

Took the HERMs coil out and put what felt like an ungodly amount of force on it, no more leaks. :D

Cool! Yeah I figured I was already so far in at this point that id rather have the extra inputs/outputs then not... At this point what's an extra $100...

+1. I have this one too.

Thanks! Yup so far I'm very happy with how they drain; all the liquid drains completely.

Yup, 1/2" ID, 7/8" OD silicone.

Holes done in the control panel. I found this bit worked really well, another bimetal one was a pita. Also, did initial leak tests and found a small leak on the solder joint around the element. Quick fix and it passed the second test. Found a small leak in the compression joint around the...

I'm using the one Bobby sells for upside down kegs. The dry fitting fits perfectly.

Nice, I was hoping for the same but it didn't work out. Using weldless bulkheads and the stainless solder for the TC elements.

Silver soldering for element triclover adapters done. Was pretty easy, but not the prettiest. :)

I did mine in Sketchup. As has been mentioned, you still need to use a ruler and pencil to trace the lines on the panel that you create in the software. I spaced everything at least 25mm apart on the panel l, generally 50mm. So I sketched lines every 25mm on the front of the panel. Here's...

Made some progress today, got the two new kegs opened and all my holes drilled. Didn't put as large of a hole in the tops this time to try to fit more lids... Instead they're a bit too small now so lots of flap grinding... Put the first hole into my control panel and it took forever with a...

Thanks! BCS. I picked up a BCS-462. Planning to run fermentation out of this panel as well. Not sure there will be enough room on the bottom of the box for all the receptacles and probes so may put the probes on the side.

Thanks. Unfortunately I already cut the bottoms out.

Laid out my front panel today. Will put some holes in tomorrow hopefully!

Any ideas on how I could turn these into fermenters?

Found out one of my kegs would fit under a 2x4 fine, so I got two ones like it today. Selling the other 2 that are already bottom cut. Live in Maryland. $35/each covers how much I paid for them. PM me if interested.

If you mean professions I agree. :)

AIH has a special on new 5 gallon ball valve kegs. Picked up 2 for $150 shipped to my door.
