the shield rotates so you can look at it from whatever angle you like.
Even better.

I find it easy to do with the brush from inside the kettle. Quick and easy. Not having to take the sight glass off a Blichmann at all during cleaning I find much simpler. That said, all 3 kettles are on the hot side of the brewing process so regardless of which kettle you use, you don't even really need to clean in there, at least not after every brew.Although it's true you can clean the sight glass when the top nut is taken out you can't clean the gunk inside the 90* bend or around the weld-less nut on the inside unless disassembled.
Cool. I like them and stand corrected.Our sight glass shields have laser etched volume markings every half and full gallon.
I wasn't clear: The dip tube that goes all the way to the center is a protrusion.Our false bottom does not have any protrusions.
I don't think you'd need to do that given the ledge the false bottom sits on (like Blichmann) which eliminates side wall shunting. Not having the large dip tube go 1/2 way across the bottom makes mashing in / stirring easier (IMHO).We choose to have the pick up tube draw from the center to promote a good flow through the grain bed and reduce the chance of channeling towards the side walls.
Where did you get that drip tray? I think it's just what I need for my keezer. Love your build thread by the way.
my kettles will be arranged like kal's (bk, mlt, hlt, from left to right). in hindsight, i wish i would have placed the sight glass for the hlt on the left side of the kettle. this would more or less place the mlt and hlt sight glasses adjacent to one another, very easy to match flow rates while sparging.
Now that's a good idea! That might need to be implemented.....
kegconnection. they make them for two thru six tappers:

went with this model since i can 'sandwich' the vertical surface of the tray (the one with the holes) in between the rough and finish wood of my keezer collar. seems like a very solid support. can't take all the credit for finding them, i blatantly stole the idea from GrainToGlass and his keezer build:

I started on my kit from Electric Brewing Supply about a week ago, but had to stop to go back to work...won't be able to get back to it for 3 months now. I was missing a few parts in my kit, called them up and it was sent out that day.....those people are great! My heat sink should be arriving at the house in the next few days. Keep the pictures coming, I'm interested in how your panel build goes.

I don't understand the cut quality... In the pics it looks like there is ragged material on the edges. Is that correct?
