One problem. The range on that thermo doesn't really work well for cooling. A fast digital would be nice or at least something in the range between freezing and boiling.

Other than the thermo range it looks good.
Do you plan on taking it apart to clean after each use? Make sure you get a really good CIP system going - a plate chiller isn't easy to keep clean on its own, let alone with all that hard plumbing running to/from it! Looks great though; nicely done.

Thanks.
I used that range TI cause it was "free". I bought a flow thru thermometer, but it didn't really fit. I work at an instrumentation type company that is closing down, so the 1/2" ball valve all the fittings, and the TI were free. I basically bought the plate chiller, the pump and the 1/4" ball valve, then tubed it up w 1/2" electropolished SS tubing.
I was real close to buying a sabco chill wizard, then said, screw it, ill make my own.
I recently updated my brewing system, which I built and made similar to a sabco as well. No pics yet but soon.
