Sssooo now that we have that out of the way did anyone get a chance to look at my wiring diagram? Would that work? Again my main thing is I need a 30amp gfci breaker to plug my rig into. Thanks

If you wanna see a fine piece of vaping machinery check out the billet box. Its pretty rad.

Ok good deal, sounds like the general consensus is the sub panel. Based on the diagram I put this sub panel right next to the main, move the 20 and 30 amp over to the new panel and put a 60 in their place to feed it. Now I need gfci protection for electric brewing so would it be best to add the...

Don't worry I hate being shocked more than anything...I don't mess around with electricity. I have a multimeter and use it every time I'm working with electricity. I have a very healthy fear ;).

Ok here we go, I got some info from my dad and then some pics to help clarify. The house is a 1945, two wire no ground. Panels are old square d xo and the other is a cutler hammer. The square d panel has mostly the garage and laundry room and the cutler hammer has most of the house circuits...

I'm at work right now but later tonight or maybe tomorrow ill try to explain the situation better. Ill try and snap a few more pics...seems like a pic would do better at explaining than me anyways ;). Thanks guys I appreciate the help

The 100 is the house, that slim 20 is a 120 outlet right below the panel for outdoor use and the 30 is for the AC.

So I currently brew at my parents house because my condo is just too small to store everything in. I'm going electric and decided to kill two birds with one stone. Get a 240 outlet to my dads garage for his air compressor and a few tools and also have a place for me to plug in for my brewing...

Looking great man! What are ya gonna do for a false bottom for your mash tun? After seeing this build and doing some more thinking I've decided to sell my kegs and buy some of these pots instead. Hard to beat the price and it seems like they would be perfect for electric. I also like the 20...

Your water is probably excellent but I'm sure it still has chlorine or chloramines. Both are bad news for brewing water. Carbon filters remove both and that's about it. I have pretty good brewing water here too...after removing the chlorine.

So I pieced together a very similar thing today and then when I got home I got thinking. With all these garden hose brass fittings, or like the original build a zinc valve has anyone thought about the leaching going on? I know on my disconnects and valve it specifically says not to use it for...

Oh and Gary your control panel looks great!

Just a quick update. I now have almost all of my weldless bulkhead stuff. I just need to order a herms coil. What diameter would you recommend for a keggle? 12 in? I think I'm going to start building some elements and temp probes too. Ill probably save the control panel for last. Another...

Thanks man. Ya I've had a couple issues in the past with parts from different places that didn't fit. From your pictures it looked like the nipples were long so i thought id ask. Interesting that those close nipples you originally got had a flat spot.

Oh and modo I also meant to ask where did you end up buying your locknuts, orings and washers? I noticed ya said the Chinese locknuts and some aih ones didn't work. Also are the nipples 1.125" ? Thanks

The question was directed at you modo but its always good to hear what other people are doing too. Thanks mrwizard and modo that was very helpful!

I'm having a hard time telling but are your bulk heads going like this, locknut with oring onto close nipple, kettle wall, washer, compression fitting? I'm currently working on a system very similar to yours and just got to thinking about how to do my bulkheads as non bulky as I can. Great...

Thanks for answering all that! Very helpful info for sure! I like the inline oxygenation idea, very slick.

It sounds like you have air getting in and breaking your siphon. Id try tightening your compression fitting and or bulkhead a bit.

I'm glad you responded to that post because I've been looking for your thread again for awhile. I had subbed it a while ago but passed it by so many time cause its titled brew stand. Your big beard profile pic caught my eye so I reopened this thread and sure enough this was the one I was looking...
