where did you get such a sexy kettle ?

[wyowolf]

Colorado Brewing Systems

 

[wyowolf]

Took about a month to get it. Basket shipping separately.

 

[pretzelb]

Good to hear you like the kettle. I've got my eye on their nano system.

 

[wyowolf]

Everything looks good so far. They are shipping the basket from the builder and I emailed today about the lid?? Havent gotten a reply yet. Hoping to get that issue resolved soon.

On another note... spent the last couple days watching drywalling videos... those guys make it look so easy!! I made a few mistakes, but never came out quite the way they showed. I am seriously thinking of hiring the rest of that part of the job out for the bar and theater... Hanging isnt bad.. but finishing... takes a lot more work then I thought.

The SS tri clamp element I got is seriously nice. Beautifully machined and very robust!! Electric Brewing Supply is where I got all the panel parts, well most of them. Super fast shipping and fast email times.

Ain't that the truth! I tried skim coating the walls in our house cause the previous owner had "splat painted" turquoise, purple and pink paints on the wall (kids room) and it was thick. Thought I was doing a good job until I shined a high powered work light on the wall and looked at it at an angle...horrible! Hurt having to pony up the $500 to have it done, but wow was it worth it. Guy did it in 6 hours and it looked perfect

 

[wyowolf]

Spray painted the walls and ceiling, it actually came out pretty well. I learned a lot about what to do and what not to do. Practice makes perfect.

Tiling the wall today and floor tomorrow.

 

[wyowolf]

Got wall tile installed.

Nice!

wall tile work, man's best friend. i about wanted to saw my head off when i did our tile shower but at the end of the day, it looks really good.

awesome work!

 

[wyowolf]

Layout and self leveling lazer...mans best friend.

 

[itsnotrequired]

i suppose a large wall wouldn't be too bad, my experience is warped by the shower work. the leveling wasn't bad, it was all the cutting. each wall had two cuts or eight cuts a row. the part above the entry was the worst as there was no row below to rest the tile on!

 

[wyowolf]

This wasn't bad...but cuts definitely slowed me down. Took 3 hrs start to finish. 70 st.

 

[wyowolf]

More tile layout for floor

[wyowolf]

Note to self... don't calculate cost after starting project!

I always budget out the big stuff and then a few hundred dollars at Home Depot later etc

 

[wyowolf]

Well part of the costs are for the whole basement and not just the Brewery.

 

[wyowolf]

Some more progress. ...water all working...installing vent hood and building BCS panel.

What kind of Pre-Rinse sprayer did you get?

Does it leak ?

Nice work on the Brewery !
