What im hoping to achieve from the build is:
- All stainless
- RJT or Tri clover where ever possible
- RIMS system with all vessels controlled with Pid's mounted in a specially constructed control box
- Maximum brew length 120L or 80L at 10%ABV
- Ability to use pellets in the main brewing vessel (need to invest in a whirpool for this)
- Move towards CIP
Here are some pics so far of the vessels (you have to love the purple carpet, not my doing)
Boiler 150L ish

2 elements 3 KW each
Mashtun 120L ish

Stainless false bottom
The mother of all RIMS tubes 6KW 30inch element

Will be getting the threaded nipples on the RIMS tube changed to RJT at some point, the top of the RIMS tube will have a tee with the temp probe in one end. The RIMS is a fair size as i want to use it for stepped mashes and to mash out when doing 100L brews.
Panel under construction and upside down

The panel has 3 Pids, 1 timer, a Amp meter, and various switches to control the elements and pumps. all elements will be controlled by either 20 or 40 Amp contactors. All hardware inside the control box will be mounted on din rails
Ive got a stainless 200L immersion boiler that i will be using for a HLT, pic of this to follow.
So whats to do? well for starters
- finish the control panel in the next week or so
- finish the stainless frame/table its all going to sit on
- mount the 2 March 115 pumps i bought when i was over in the USA last month
- Get some more shiny stainless stuff fabricated
- Get something to ferment 100L+ of beer in, shiny conicals are on the horizon + temp control
Its going to be a good few months before its all finished but should keep me out of the pub most days till atleast late afternoon!

Will keep the pics coming as i progress.
