Electric Brewery Build UK Version

Dont know if anyone is looking for a stainless box but this is fairly cheap

Not a bad price but i can only see myself getting annoyed cutting all those holes in stainless.

I ended up not continuing with my panel after deciding the size was just too small to keep everything neat and seperated. I bought one of these to start again - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140949171273 - Seller accepted £55 but now i'm thinking too big?? No back plate included but my brother has sorted that out by cutting me a sheet of 3mm steel which now just needs a few holes drilled for mounting.

Did you manage to get yours used before you sold everything off?

No I didnt unfortunately , although it shouldnt be too much longer before everything is rebuilt again , then its sunglasses time.

Been finally testing the setup today, everything working OK. Only thing I wouldn`t fit again is the Volt meter, not much point in except for a little bling factor.

The amp meter however IMHO is a must, just watch those amperes get up into the mid 20`s

just watch those amperes get up into the mid 20

Ah cute,much more exciting watching the ammeter hover around the 380A mark when you know it will start load shedding at 400A

I do hope you not talking about your brewery setup if your are I bet the brew day it a short one

Hello mate, did you get this up and running.... Have you brewed on it?

Thinking of building 1 myself.

Yep the big rig with the control box works a treat, haven't brewed with it too much though as a 100 litres of beer (175 pints) takes me a while to munch through that and at the time of brewing I still had 70 litres of D Stout.

That's one reason why I built the BreadMaker, big rigs are great but if you want to test / have more variety a smaller 20 litre batch size is more than ideal.

Just to answer a couple of PM`s I`ve had recently regarding relays
