New Brew Dude
So I had to move my ebrewery (again) because my ventilation plans failed. Since I was moving it, I decided to upgrade my old control panel. I always had intentions of adding a second PID temperature controller and building a full eHERMS, and I decided to get started on that plan.
I bought the Auber two cut 12'' x 10'' x 8" (300 x 250 x 200 mm) box, and the innards to build a 50a back to back system. This box is a tight fit, but it fits. I don't foresee a time when someone who doesn't already know this system would ever brew on it, so I didn't see a need for the labels. The controls are pretty straightforward anyway; key switch power on, eStop, a switch each for the elements, and switch/plug combos on the bottom for pumps.
Even with my attempts to keep the wiring clean and organized, it still looks kind of like spaghetti. It works well though. Right now, it's still a single kettle, single cooler brutus 20 type system, but the HLT is on it's way.
I've done two brews on it so far, and the only problems were the brewer.
The new ventilation solution works wonders, but it's only temporarily installed (to test it), so I'm not posting pictures of it until later when I get it permanently installed.
