Thanks for the update. I'm in the process of putting one together. I've also tried to cut costs by not buying fancy swithces and such and ordered ssr and heatsink from china, etc. Just wanted to see how yours turned out due to the fact that when i started piecing mine together, I was kinda looking at yours! anyhow sorry to hear about your son, hope all is well. Would love to see pics if you get the chance!

Will do. Just let me know if you're interested in any part numbers. A lot of the components came from Mouser, the breakers from Automation direct, and the receptacles and plugs came from the local farm store (cheaper than the "big box" hardware stores). I had all the cable I needed from previous home improvement projects.

I made my own thermo wells for the thermocouples with 1/4" copper tubing. The thermocouples also came from China. Those are here.

Happy brewing!

I know this thread hasn't been updated in a year, but I noticed you are using the SYL-1512A PIDs. How do you like like them? Do you have any photos showing the front of your panel? Nice wiring job on the inside.
