Cheeky peak are selling a glycol unit for a grand. I read that the ss one cant even crash 2 60 litre chronicles.

I Did my trade as a fitter. I've been a marine engineer for 14 years. The only time ill use anti seize is bolts and flanges. For pipework its locktight liquid Teflon or Teflon tape. I've never used anti seize in my brewery. Why would you? If it got into the system it would be a nightmare. It...

Just hit it with wd40. First tighten about 1/4 to 1/2 a turn, then unscrew the ******. It'll be damaged but you'll get away with running a tap through the socket. Dunno about using anti seize on this as it's not suitable for food grade equipment as far as I know. Tastes like **** too. Bit of...

**** boys. She's getting there. Just doing little by little when the kids aren't hanging off my leg. Got the main power and elements cabled up and sorted the huge main power plug. Door is on and just about to run all the control cables for the bcs in the door. Waiting on a few xlr chassis...

Door is almost there. Got the back plate in. Bit of a mess but there is a bit in it.

ebrewsupply.com Us based. I could have saved a grand or so going through ebay etc but it was just so easy getting all the parts in one place. The service has been great so far.

The whole system is pretty straight forward but id like to simplify it a heap. Might have to talk to Ryan and work on another way. It really is so fun but it all the messages because of wrong info and schematics

Cable **** and some panel photos

Getting there.

Yeah I get a real nice bread crust toasty flavour from it. I like that with a bit of hops.

What did they charge you for the system? Nice to have fully welded gear. I looked at cheeky peak but was about 2 x the price im doing mine for

Got a bit done this arvo. About 3 hours so far on the wiring. Most of the time has been spent trying to work out all the schematics. Because all the schematics are in 110 volt, I've had to get Ryan from ebrew to send me through some 220v schematics. Only thing is there are no labels and quiet a...

Yeah mate. I'm going to take my time and enjoy the **** out of it [emoji4]

How will you be cleaning the mash tun? Will you have sight gauges on all vessels? I was thinking of selling cubes once my rig is going. Maybe another idea for your setup?

Back plate out and some main components in position.

Got most of the kit today. Was well packaged. Missing a few parts for the 7 segment displays but everything looks to be there.

Yeah ok. I'm definitely going to have 3 way ball valves. I'm half thinking just to go manual and then add automation if I want. Get the system working and learn the ropes with the BCS, then decide how far I want to go. Thing is, I only really want automation for repeatability and would be nice...

Yes I got a herms coil for HLT. I'm not sure how automated to go just yet. Still trying to decide. Are your valves dc ball valves? I would need about 10 to 12 valves for the system.

I've done 100 litres in the 30 gal ss kettles no worries. It's a tight squeeze but I get 105 litres after boil. Probably struggle with a 90min boil.

I'm using the 5500 watt ripple stainless elements from ebrew supply. They sell a kit to fit them with a weldless fitting and a junction box. I would prefer to go with the triclamp ebrew has but I don't have a tig welder. I can weld ss tig pretty good and am thinking of going all fully welded...
