Here are pics of both my rig and fermenters. The brewery is all electric and can produce 20 gallon batches. The fermenters hold 27 gallons in a room I built at the back of my garage that is both heated and cooled, you can see the door to that room on the right.

And yes Rob, I understand that weakness you spoke of and I am already trying to come up with a better way to attach those elements, thanks for that.

Sweet setup. Love to see some more pics of the control panel. Did you buy the kit from Kal, or gather up all the parts yourself?
If you don't mind me asking, you mentioned you got the conicals from stout tanks. How was shipping/customs/etc?

If it's working, it may not be worth fucking with, just something to keep in mind if problems arise in the future.
Looks good.

Hey AlanMar, I bought the kit from Kal complete. I don't have enough knowledge or confidence to build that myself. The rest of the rig I did assembled myself. Yes I bought the conicals from Stout. If I remember correctly the shipping was 300 for both which is actually very good. The customs was a little more, I'd have to dig up the paper work on that. If you really want to know them pm me and I will get that info for you.

Yea, 300 does seem pretty reasonable. It's becoming more and more tempting, the rough idea is good enough for me. Thanks.

Do you give brewery tours?
I have 10 years experience in Quality Control and would gladly help you 'monitor' the end product.

That's a kick ass system you've got, Bruce! I could definitely get used to brewing on something like that!

Very sweet rig, is it movable? What do you do about ventilation?

Thanks everybody. As for ventilation there was a large extractor fan mounted right above where my boil kettle is. This fan was far to powerful so I removed it and mounted a 450 cfm vortex fan there instead with some 6 inch pipe facing toward kettle, seems to do the trick very well.
