Is 1/2" copper much easier to recoil?
Thanks guys
TB
As others have said - Yes it is. When you do it, I suggest that you do not straighten the copper first and then recoil it. Just wrap it around your form as a coil and reform it. If you straighten it first you will harden the copper and make it a lot more difficult to handle.Is 1/2" copper much easier to recoil?
That looks very good, Gabrew!Ive used 25ft of 1/2 copper and it took about ten minutes alone using a corny.
....very easy!
i just want to say that bargain fittings is an awesome place to get your stainless fittings. He let me modify my order after i placed it, sent me a new payment request, and it still arrived very quickly. Quality products for a reasonable price with good service. And no, i'm not being paid to say that.

Just for fun, here's a video I took during the auto tune. Sorry if the quality sucks; I've never used photobucket to host a video before.
There really isn't much to see here, so you wouldn't be missing out on much if you didn't watch this vid.

Prost,

EDIT: vid quality sucks from photobucket. Not even worth posting. Removed for your sake.
I hope I'm wrong - However I need to ask - Is your electrical box made of plastic? If so you need to add an equipment ground point so that it is bonded to the kettle. Right now it appears to not exist.Showing the wiring for the elements:
Thanks for the concern, P-J. Those boxes are indeed aluminum weather proof boxes from McMaster-Carr, part no. 7219K26.I hope I'm wrong - However I need to ask - Is your electrical box made of plastic?

If the box is cast Aluminum, I'll just go away.
Thanks! Again, I really appreciate your help!Your whole build process is awesome.
Nice Tiber, I've been doing my build one step behind yours just so I can follow along and it's been a great help. Thank you.
Great looking setup, any thought to how you'll vent the boil steam?
I'll try to get some up this weekend. Planning on taking pics during assembly.That's great! Do you have any pictures in your gallery or somewhere where we can see your setup?

updates?
For now, I'm going to just coil the return silicone hose in the MLT above the grain bed. That is, until I find a sparge system (or design) that I'm satisfied with. I've been toying with a few designs of my own on scratch paper, and doing some heavy research, but we'll see how the straight up tube in the tun goes for the first few batches...got any plans for your sparge arm?
Tiber_Brew,
I just want to say that I'm standing in awe with your build. The whole project and documentation is just plainly magnificent!
I also really appreciate your jumping in on Gabrew's build about the E-stop. Good Job!
Thanks.
