My Rig
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.

Re: My Rig
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.

Re: My Rig
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: My Rig
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?

Re: My Rig
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.

Re: My Rig
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.

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

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

Re: My Rig
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.
