Compact Toolbox Controller

Dang, I'm almost more impressed by your pump housing than your control box. Those are both excellent solutions to mobile brewing and this sort of setup looks like it'd be useful for anyone who does communal brewing and/or plans on moving around a bit. Do you find that your fans in your pump box provide sufficient airflow for continuous operation or do you stick with transfer usage duration only?

I have a pump in a toolbox. No fan. I drilled some holes on one end. I've run for hours without an issue.

For my pump toolbox I'm planning on mounting the head outside the box (as many others have done here). It doesn't look as clean, but I hope it will reduce or eliminate the need for ventilation holes. I'm going to use a pretty big tool box too.

I really like the switches mounted with the pumps, both of the OPs tool box builds are awesome.

The pump housing is fantastic too. Great work!

Awesome build. I am using your design for inspiration.

What kind of plug did you use for the pump? It looks a lot smaller than other options that I have seen.

20A 125V Short Strap Single Receptacle.

Beofore you begin drilling and cutting, I would suggest to cover the entire surface of the toolbox with painters tape and vacuum up the metal frequently.

Looks like a guitar amp....any chance you are a Orange amplifier fan?

Nicely done!

Finally getting around to doing some testing to run the rig for BIAB. Calibrating RTD's, tuning PID controllers, and measuring volumes.
