What alarm is that?

Alrighty. Got a lot of work done.

Drilled holes in both keggles.

Had some requests for some wiring pics. With this small of an enclosure it's hard to make "nice'wiring runs, but I did the best I could.

This is where I tightened the nut to the post too much and it came off.

Had to think out the lay out of the HUGE contactor since the input would have hit it.

All of those green ground wires should be "home runs." IE - wires that run directly to the box, and then that box connection runs directly to the main ground wire.

 

[OatStraw]

Yes all wires connect to the box and the lid as well. The box is then connected to the power input ground which runs back to a gfci protected outlet.

Lando can correct me if I'm wrong but I think he means there should be no splicing of ground wires. The wire should run from its source uninterrupted to the grounding post. I think if you look through hunter's build thread there are some really good pix of how he did it.

 

[OatStraw]

Hmmm. Not sure I understand the need. Grounds are shared all the time.

Just checked some electrical codes and it's fine as I'm using 10g for the shared.

Just run all of the ground wires to the bolt on the box. That's all you have to do. You don't want that wire nut coming loose and then only part of the circuits being grounded. No, it's not likely to happen, but why bother taking the chance?

Planning on installing the elements today and leak testing. Hope all goes well.

I'll be using brewhardware.com enclosures.

Looking good, Congrats on making it this far. My first leak test was good, the second one was a mess! Hope you're having good luck.

 

[OatStraw]

Thanks Hunter. I will be doing auto tune tomorrow night, but can you share all your others 2362 settings?

Here is what it looks like now. Everything is leak tested and ready for first heat test after work tomorrow.

After this project is done I will be installing a sink and SS table.
