Trying hard to complete my brewery

Can't wait to see this in my MT

I'm almost finished my mash tun. This is the last piece to the puzzel. Thanks Jaybird!

My name is in the pot. Thanks Jaybird!

I forgot to mentionI was planning on doing a HERMs system also. The kettle measures 17 1/2" diameter and is about 27 1/2" tall. Golddiggie indicates "You'll probably boil off more/better in the larger diameter kettle. So, I'd make that the BK". this vessel is not larger in diameter. MCL states...

Not to hi-jack this thread (which I just may have done) but I have a similar question regarding keg vs. kettle usage. I have two kegs and a 25 gal kettle. Any suggestions on the best use of the larger kettle? ...HLT? boil kettle? and logic behind suggestions. Sorry if this is not the correct...

Hey VonMule what is that "thing" (long black tube) behind the dog/kettle? Some kind of chiller? heat exchange?

Thanks, I would love to see pics of this.

I don't quite understand how you attached your ground to the "nut". I can't tell from the pic. There are no wires in place. Could you explain in a little more detail. I'm looking to do somthing similar.

Nice box, I'm looking to do something similar. Where are you in Maryland? I'm in New Market, near Frederick.

Tim, I'm not sure but I tried contacting Clepco to pose a few questions about this unit and I believe sombody mentioned that the thermo fuse was designed to cut off at a certain temperature. Not sure what temp it was but could this be removed/bypassed? By the way you rerally responed quickly...

Just fixed the original photos. looking forward to reply. I'll also try to check the wire size. also PJ stated "The wiring diagram "clepcodiagram.jpg" is a universal diagram. That is not how your unit is wired." Hopefully this will work out. Thanks

Thanks for taking a look Tim. I'll repost the diagram when I get home tonight. I'm not a total idiot (just bordering on one) but while I was posting these pics this morning I thought I would clean out the others...DOH! I did not think about the links. Thanks again

Sorry for the delay and one day I will learnhow to post pics a little better. Here are some images of the inside of the controller and some of the wiring. I these do not help please let me know if another angle work be preferable. Thanks for the help!

OK, so the controller is wired for 240V operation. This means I can add the proper plug on the power side (connected to GFI of course) and remove the existing teflon heater element and replace it with a hot water element attached to the HLT? Am I limited to any specfic wattage on the element?

Tried to take a pic but camera is acting up.There is a sticker ontop of the heating element the indicates: KW = 2 Volts = 230 PH = 1 AMPS = 8.7 I dont know if this is enough to go by? Again,thanks for bearing with me guy's

I'll do that when I get home this evening. Stay tuned. Thanks for hanging with me on this one guys!

Chucko commented : "Your wiring diagram shows a step down transformer to 120 volts before all of the electronics and for the coil of the power contactor for the heating elements. You should be able to eliminate that and possibly replace the contactor with an SSR to control any heating element...

Thanks guys. This is the feedback I was hoping to get. Chucko/PJ is it possible to "mark-up" what you suggested? I'll see if my brother-inlaw could make a modification. Thanks again Rod

Thanks Tim for taking a look at this. I guess I'll place it in the trash can for pick-up tomorrow. Oh well thought I might have lucked out.
