Looks great. You build the control panel? What elements you have in those monsters?

Upgraded from a 3v system a few months ago and made myself an immersion chiller too.

This is my set up. No trailing wires or hoses and between the two I can brew batches of ten,twenty,twenty five and fifty litres.

At the moment yes. However there are plans for it not to be one day. However to make it commercially viable even as a part time thing you would struggle to make it pay using these. The volumes just aren't enough. What you would need to do is find a small brewery to contract brew your core products and just use these for small batch / limited edition beers.

Yes I'm not looking at it being commercially viable at the moment. Obviously selling directly to the public is the best idea but not the easiest on volume

Personally I didn't think so, but I'm fairly good at those sort of things. Search for The Electric brewery. They have a step by step guide to making one. It is however American so lots of the bits they used you can't get here. Mine is actually wired quite differently to theirs, purely because of how I needed it to work with my element combinations. It will however give you an idea of what is involved.
