    My brew controller box

    Oh yup.... for some reason I thought it was activated via the power going through it.. so yes you could use this.. personally I'd have Pilot lights.. the only time I can see it not really being great is like my case I have a 3 position selector switch which activates the HLT or the BK element...

    With this selector switch with a light, the light will be on all the time, with the pilot light and switch you can allow it to turn on and off when the PID turns the element on and off..This way you can visually see when the element has power.. personally preference I guess. -Gav

    My New Brewery Build (pics)

    My last enclosure had a sealed touch screen with a PC within it. Could have connected this up to a BCS and off ya go but decided to use my brewtroller and switches instead.. Something about flicking a switch instead of touching a screen. Although I haven't ruled it out for another brewery build...

    That's going to be a "table" area under my control panel for scales, hops, recipe etc... Im always trying to find a spot for that stuff so thought I'd put it on the rig itself. -Gav

    I've checked yours out on AHB and on The Electric Brewery website, looks good.. It looks pretty sweet with the electric panel with all the lights and switches :) How do you go with the pumps and priming? My previous brew rig I had the control panel near my pump because it was a bitch to...

    I got mine from Amazon $70 delivered i think and took about two weeks to arrive.. but I did that whole panel including pilot holes in about 45mins. plus its 1/2" so you can use it on alot of things for brewing, although it does suggest not to use on stainless steel but if you have cheap thin...

    I do hard plumb it into the wall, the two on the left is HOT and COLD mains which I only use hot since the hot water system is on the other side of the wall so it comes out pretty hot. The other two are just 1/2" threads through the wall which goes to our 22,000lt tank out the back which I use...

    Ah, I didn't read it like that... That would help yes... interesting Idea. Although I'd love to see the results of this one..

    Reverse HERMS

    I'd think you'd get inconsistent temps through your MASH since the heating coil will be heating whats around it and not whats near the wall of the MLT. So in the middle you'd have 65c but near the walls you could be 10+c less which will probably result in crap efficiency. Good for thinking...
