Finally got most of the bits, just waiting on the E Stop and the cooling fan grilles. Everything is all cut out, DIN rails mounted. Hopefully paint tomorrow while brewing then wire it all up this weekend if I get the time.

That looks pretty sweet jefin, should come out a treat!

The recipe from Mr Malty is a fantastic recipe, I've made it a few times with good success. Ive mashed mine at 65°C and ferment at 18°C. And if your going for flavour and aroma maybe change you 3 min additions to .9 g/L and the final additions to 1 or 1.1 g/L. Let us know how it goes.

The switches and IEC sockets turned up today. Thought I might give everything a trial fit. Also fitted the cable gland for the 15 amp supply and the temp sensor sockets.

My PIDs turned up today, very impressed with the speed of delivery. All the hole are cut and filed to size. Hope to paint this weekend then wait for all the other bits to turn up..... The 4 rectangle ones in the base are for the 16 amp IEC plugs to go to the 3 elements and the pump. I dont need...

Dulux paint tin and a tube bender for the final two bends. I'm pretty happy with it.

Hey Yob, check here for the pics mate: http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/70532-3-tier-gravity-build/page-2#entry1107061

I managed to get 6.5m in the pot. Cheers for the help guys. Dan

Righto, I'm keeping the controller and the brewery mods separate, the controller build is here (http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/76684-another-brew-controller/). More progress, made the HERMs coil today, fits nicely into the 7.6L Big W pot. I squeezed about 7m into it.

Nice idea Kev,I will mount it on the same DIN rail as the SSRs down the bottom of cabinet. Cheers

Got the first aid cabinet from Bunnings, cut some little shapes to ge a feel for how it will look life size and plan where stuff will go inside. The Green pump running LED is above the SSRs and heat sinks but should have 36mm clearance with the door closed. Can anyone see any gotchas with the...

Excellent mate, thanks. Any chance of a pic?

Hey All, Just got a 7.6L pot from Big W and want to know how much 1/2" copper tube you guys have managed to fit in there for your HERMs set ups? Is 7-8m being a bit too optimistic? Cheers

Ideally though, If the manager is not 100% knowledgable on the process then any KPI's should be mutually agreed, but enforced.

Hey Kev, I have updated the wiring diagram to account for the 3 position switch, just not posted it. And i went with the 1.5" probe after seeing that very same pic myself. Cheers

The relay doesn't have the logic to not supply power to the HLT if the HERMs needs it? Or did you have it wired some other way? Basically the HERMs and the HLT can't run at the same time.

So I have finally purchsed all the bits last night. Heres a drawing of the proposed panel and its layout. The green circle is the pump on light and the big red one is the pump emergency stop button.

Hey All, Well the time has come to pimp to brewery so here's my plans and will post about the build here. My brewery is currently here (http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/70532-3-tier-gravity-build/) but the gravity and lack of pump is not much fun any more. Still makes alright beer but am...

So the time has come to add further mods to the brewery, namely a pump and HERMs coil. I'm going to build another HLT in a keg with a 3kW element (I have a dedicated 15A socket straight from the power board) and put the HERMs coil (about 6m 1/2" copper) inside it. Pump will be one of those...

Hey Glot, I have a dedicated 15A point straight from my main board so I'm fine there. I was just making sure the element would be suitable for what I propose doing with it, I'm more than comfortable the circuit can handle it. Cheers
