:) long day? Thanks...

Update: April 10, 2010 Spent the better part of the day working on the brewery. Completed assembly of the gas plumbing - sealed, tightened, mounted. Installed all of the fittings on the HLT, Mash Tun and Brew Kettle. Mounted the transformer in the control panel. Built the pump brackets and...

Make sure to look at the paint you're considering and double check it doesnt need a high temp cure process, most of the engine paints we looked at required it so we just decided to go BBQ black, cheap and easy to reapply if necessary. To start we're probably just going to use the HERMS coil in...

Glad we could help! Looking good. One thing we have noticed with ours (as we've loaded more and more stuff on to it is that the tires do get a bit squished - we're hoping to get more fittings together this weekend and load her up with some water and see how they do, we may end up swapping them...

We're using Nordic Ware 12" SS lids from Amazon - inexpensive and when we ordered them a few months ago they were buy 3 get 1 free, so we've got an extra in case we need it for some reason...

Yeah...not going powder coat. We're sticking with BBQ paint, yeah might not be as nice sexy and yeah sure we'll possibly need to reapply a few times but much cheaper in the long run and should work just fine.

Update: April 4, 2010 As the previous photos showed, GreenMonti wrapped up the keggle welding for us and we picked them up yesterday. With the holiday weekend we didn't get much else done but did dry fit some of the parts to see how it all looks. Next weekend we're hoping to knock out a good...

They look great! See you tomorrow.

Electrical:

Seattle area.

Kegs are in Greenmonti's hands to weld on the couplings; just about done with the electrical schematic and will post soon.

Work and other commitments have slowed progress - pretty much stuck to a few hours on the weekends here and there. We drilled the kegs last weekend and are hoping to get them off to Greenmonti this coming weekend. Also should have the pumps mounted this weekend - now we're going to mostly be...

http://www.buyfittingsonline.com/ or Bargain Fittings - either are good sources.

After much debate and help from folks on the board - decided to go with a Marshall 290.

Update 3/1/10 Brewed a honey nut brown this weekend for my buddies bachelor party so didn't get a lot done on the brewery. Hardware to mount the burner boxes/burners showed up so they're bolted on now. Also tracked down 3 brass swivel nut elbows for the burners. Fitted the black pipe and gas...

Yup - found some like the ones you mentioned jkeeton - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390019723704&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT Looks like he increased the price since I ordered - but they work great. They came in the mail today and are just what I was looking for. Used these...

Have a part #? Not seeing any timers on Cole Parmer that are made by Love.

That's an idea... Honestly, we haven't even bothered - the arm and control panel weigh enough that they stay pretty stationary unless we're moving the whole brewery around.

Just under 30' We used a corny keg, 2 people and wrapped it that way, one person holding the coils tight to the keg and tight together, the other wrapping from the packaged coil to the corny. We then by hand separated the coils from each other a bit to allow fluid to contact the full coil.

Not sure you'll find plans on all of that. For our build I've just done a lot of reading on here, used my dad's engineering background and understanding of some of the technical aspects, heat coefficients, etc and a lot of brainstorming / white boarding / napkin sketching. I just created a...
