It took me a year of designing and redesigning to come up with the perfect rig for my cookshack.
these threads kill me.
I have a fully frunctional e-HERMS, but if Kal's and Oihio Ed's (and some others) are playboy centerfolds, then mine is a $5 crack whore.... and nobody wants to see that.

Walker, It looks as good as your profile
Did you have to show her with her legs open?
@Walker I never can find kegs around here got lucky on the one I found on CL. Look on there nearly everyday.
I'm really digging these 1 and 2 vessel systems.
we have a lot of colleges around here (duke, wake forest, nc state, unc). frat houses have kegs piled up, they have no deposit slips, and no store will take them back without deposit slips.
i got 10 of them last year for $300, and the guy even delivered to my house!
i sent email to the BMC companies out of due diligence to let them know I had them. They never responded. *shrug*
Mine is still a work in progress.
Alot of really nice builds.
DeeDub76 - very nice.
Like you and TheFlyingBeer, I am using a stainless steel table. I got mine from Costco a while back for something else and figured it would be cheaper than building a stand.
Looks like you used unistrut for the control panel. I am using that as well for mounting alot of the components.
Here are some shots of mine partially done. It's missing the HLT that goes on the left.
Klyph - you're right on both. It is a 4" TC and it started as a Sabco. I got the basic Mashtun from them and had some fittings welded on including the 4" TC. Its on a hinged base and will tip forward and the grains pushed through the 4" hole. Beats getting it all stuck in the handle and upper rim.
Very nice, I just use a shop vac.
I've seen a bunch of people talk about doing this. Doesn't that make for a sticky, stinky mess in the shopvac?
I'm trying to decide how to handle cleaning out my mash tun now that I went from the cooler to the converted sanke. I have to lug my grain around to the back of my property and dump it over the fence, and the keg is sort of bulky.
Walker, why not just make a voile grain bag for the mashtun? If you make it big enough it should not change any of your operation. The when you finish mashing you can just ift the bag out and toss the grain.
