I kinda hate you, but love you, all at the same time.

I think it's called 'jealousy'.

 

[Grainer]

Tidied up the temperature lines and made the element cover ... and decided to make a keezer.. surprised how quick I made it.. just need to cover it with wood to pimp it.

Oh and the new control box stand with swivel arm

Just a quick question.

When you have your element through the side of your pot like that is it worth while running a 3 core cable to it and attaching a earth on the inside or your metal enclosure?

As far as I know any metal should be grounded. In my setup I have it wired up inside the element box and the the ground wire is connected to the back of the element. The brass section you see in the second picture of Grainers

As far as I'm concerned all metal objects/pots must be earthed.


To pickup an earth you can do as macca05 said, or just bolt it to the side of the metal enclosure.

Sorry was in Malaysia for the last 2 weeks.. Yes it should and will be grounded..just haven't wired it yet

 

[Camo6]

Baaah. Excuses, excuses. Just fire it up all ready!

Looks like very tidy work Grainer. Can't wait to see the finished result.

 

[Grainer]

Just finished my keezer..Just got to add the STC and maybe some stainless steel rails for BLING.. also put a shelf on the brewery & thinking how to attach the Herm-it ... hmmmm

 

[macca05]

Hey Grainer,
Im in the same boat as you. Have not worked out where I'm putting my Herm-it either. Ive been thinking do you want access to everything from only one side of the brew rig or when it is being used will it be say in the centre of a garage so that it means you can mount stuff all around your rig and get access to everything.
Still trying to work that our myself

 

[Grainer]

LOL.. I put the wood on the front to mount it to that...but eventually I think I may change to s stainless unit.. I was using the PVC one as a starter unit. I figure I will want access to it so it will be at the front.. All the underside will be for storage of grain & equipment....might end up changing the elements from the bottom to the side like yours if it gets too hard to work out
