It's a work in progress. Finally had a guy in town build it for me and integrated my banjo burners. Down the road I will put another burner under the center keg.

Not the best picture, but there she be. I still need another burner but the insulation is actually working out really well.
 
My oldest son talked me into putting together an electric system after I came across these vessels at the scrap yard I work at. We decided to build the stand as low as possible so it would be easier to deal with cleaning, due to the size of the vessels (60 gal.). I'm actually thinking of building a separate platform. And yes, I know the HLT looks like a large soup can. Right now I'm gathering the components for the remainder of the build.

SCB, where did you get the tri clamp gaskets that stay connected to the ferrule? That is one of the few hang ups I have with TC connects
 
lorax, I think you're seeing the covers that I keep over the tri-clamps when not in use, just to help keep the system clean. I still use the standard silicone gaskets between the mating halves. Once you get used to them it's really easy.

I solved the problem with stay in place gaskets.

Woo hoo my 300th post and the 1600th reply to the thread!
 
SCB,
did you build the Control panel ? or did you buy if from Kal ?

Swweeeet system !!
Looks great !

Cheers
 
Thanks steveoatley! I sourced the components and built the panel myself. I followed Kal's tutorials (they're top notch) but I made some changes to fit my needs.
 
Here is the 3d model of the 3 tier that I am working on. I have it all welded up now and in the process of painting. I will post a finish picture when it is complete

that's what I did for the longest time. No shame in it! It makes beer! I was using a stainless steel table I bought at Sam's for majority of my brewing. Once I got my rig made, I moved it to the basement where I use the table as a work bench! No more working on the cement floor!
