awesome job triskelion! Now that you have a pump, have you thought about cutting the legs shorter? Have you noticed any stability issues with the current set-up?

 

[triskelion]

I thought that it would be less stable when filled but it's actually easier to move around. I think the weight stops any of the wheels lifting off the ground as much. I can't make it any lower with the current chiller, I wouldn't get the fermentor under it. I could probably change the chillers shape and then lower it. It's length is a bit overkill, half as much copper pipe would be enough.

Awesome Keggle mate, few questions - how did the Burco element perform? is it still going after x-amount of batches. is it easy to clean, does it scorch? etc..
cheers

It's still working great after maybe 10 batches. It's no longer got a nickel finish, it's been coated with copper, by electrolysis from the copper pipes I assume. It is a pain to clean. If I built it again, I'd make it so that it comes apart easily, quick disconnects on the pipes etc.
