eBAIB Build

[virgil1]

What was you final cost for the build minus you brew pot? How many hours do you think you had in putting it together? I am looking at building a system similar to yours.

I added it all up again.

$400 for all panel and electrical (not counting having an electrician install 240V near my work bench. Our dryer is gas, so no 240V in garage already)
$280 for chugger pump + silicone tubing and all of the SS Camlock connectors from bargain fittings.
$240 in other misc tools and the kettle. $90 for the kettle. Then I bought hole saws, step bit, some files and and the knockout punch($90 for that)

I have most of the costs listed in the thread, but here they are all together:

Hi! In case any one is following this, and lives in the Bay Area(SF Bay Area), I want to give this to someone. I have gotten out of the hobby(have a 5 year old now, busy with other projects, etc), and would like someone to get some good use out of it. Email me at [email protected] if interested.
