Well I think all of the plumbing is done

I think I have everything I need. Any one spot something missing?

Dude... NICE work so far. Jealous of the welding tools/skillz! I am contemplating buying a welder a learning to weld for my 2.0 build. Is that wrong?

Just not sure that plate chiller in the corner is gonna be enough - better send it to me!

I'm with Brundog on this. Amazing fabricating and TIG skills. looking forward to seeing your setup in action.

Can never go wrong with having more tools!

The plate chiller was a great find, a family member had a old dairy and it was still on the wall, needs some love as they had galvanized fittings in the water side and the galvanic corrosion was unreal. I am not sur if I a going to try to weld it and machine it or just try some aluminum epoxy as it is only on the water side.

Thank for for the comments, I to can not wait I just have to build the panel now.

 

[BrunDog]

What panel are you doing?

What panel are you doing?

I have a 50 amp BCS pannel in the works, I have pretty much everything in the shop to do this. I just found a Stainless box to house it all, so the next step will be wiring!

Well just came across this 20"X20"X8" box that will be my control panel. I will need a little love but we have the technology to fix it!

I have a 50a 3v herms. It's too late now, but you are going to be surprised how much waste you are going to have with all that plumbing and 15 gallon kettles.

I think I have plumbed it to not have to much waste, I can push all the wort out with the sparge water from the HLT to MLT to the BK. The path from the BK to the plate chiller is pretty shortl, but I guess I really won't know until I flip the switch on!

Since this is my first build I expect to have to change some things around, If I didn't what else would i do as a hobby!

Started to rip apart the new panel enclosure
