I have gotten this far and only need a few more things to be ready for my A/G brewing now! I need a thermometer to put into the front of the sight glass "T". Anyone know where to find a decent one? I also need to adjust the silicone O-rings that looks like it has been run over by a steam roller and is bulging out the washer. (too tight) I have all the carboys and ferm-bucketsready to rock out too! I have about 100 lbs of A/G kits coming, and some bulk ingredients. Im ready for some fun times! How about a HELL YEAH????

Pics are below. I forgot to post them here! Too many DIPAs, it's Friday!

FWIW, the O-rings should be mounted on the inside of the kettle where they will be shielded from excessive heat by the liquid.
 
Looks good, I hope you have time on your side!

I wish I had more time on my side SWMBO is pregnant, and I don't want to fall into the "I had to stop brewing for a while" category because of my spawn.

At any rate your equipment looks great, brew strong!:mug:
 
Nice AG setup! I didn't see a screen or false bottom in the mash tun, what are you using for that?

I have a "T" inside the mash tun. It is a stainless mesh hose from a supply line. It is in there with 2 stainless hose clamps. Just have to connect it up and Im ready! Of course, after I find a thermometer for the keggle. Are you guys running the keggle fittings with 2 0-rings on the inside, or just one?Who sells the thermometers for the fitting on the keggle?? I need to order one soon.
