:cross: Not sure you can use the word poor. Your profile pic looks like it has a ton of SS and sanitary fittings:rockin:
I am sorta lucky. I am fairly new to brewing. This was is my first AG setup. So I am not upgrading or retro fitting. I just decided to go all out from the beginning.
I ordered this from Grainger and will go pick it up in a couple days when it comes in: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/4JWN5?Pid=search
I think it'll work for me.
Love the rig Brewmoor.
The bus tubs that Wayne1 is talking about are called "hotel pans" and are used for every possible function in a restaurant kitchen. I use them at home because you can do anything with them: reduce a sauce on the range, stick them in the oven, use them on the grill. Anything. They are all SS and can usually be had for cheap.

What does the corny keg do?
OP
OP
I got my 5500w element at plumbingsupply.com
Blackwaterbrewer: The corny is used as a heat exchanger. I also use it to heat sparge water. I do a double batch sparge on most of my brews. I heat 3-4 gallons in my boil kettle and transfer to MLT. Then drain the MLT to the boil kettle. Then I transfer from the corny to the mash for a second batch sparge to rinse the grains more.
I actually don't use the heat exchanger much. I have pretty consistent temps and I don't step mash. On my new system I am skipping the HLT and I am going to sparge with a RIMS tube and two elements.

This build has been complete for over a year. It worked great. I used it a bunch while I was getting my new brewery up and running. Unfortunatly it has sat in my garage collecting dust for the last 8 months. I have been too busy brewing at the brewery to use it. It is a dream to brew on though.
Great news that it's collecting dust! I guess your brewery gig is going well?

I'm also interested in how you built the site gauge and how well it works.
I agree!
