Hey all
So here's a little build thread of my brew rig 2.0.
Currently using a 2 tier 3 vessel system:
New system incorperates a BrewTroller, automatic ball valves, HERMS, and lots of lights lol
Main parts are:
19meter 1/2" copper HERMS coil.
2 x 3500watt elements in the HLT, which is where the HERMS coil resides.
70L HLT, 100L MLT and 70L boil kettle.
2 x magnetic pumps
Big 500x300x250mm enclosure
Open Source Control Systems BrewTroller DX1
Lots of relays.
Air pump for bubbler volume measuring system for HLT and MLT
Boil kettle is heated by a 32 jet mongolian burner - but I'll probably plug some of the holes as it's a bit too powerful.
Pics of the build so far:
HERMS coil:
Started making a false bottom for MLT out of the end of a stainless sink bench and by cutting slots:
Enclosure front panel cut out:
Almost everything install on front panel:
Back of front panel:
Inside the enclosure - I've since moved the SSR's to the top of the inside of the enclosure as the circuit breakers were blocking air flow too much:
Frame built:
Plumbing mock up without motorised ball valves - in mash mode:
More to come.....
