Wow! look at all that shiny S/S. Nice!! Is that horizontal shiny tube above the pump the RIMS element?

Yes it is. The RIMS element is a ceramic 1.5 inch diamter element, as such it needs a sheath as its not waterproof. With the PID it keeps a good constant temp during mash and ramping up temps too.

Finally! A picture of the beast. Welcome to my brewery.

Crap res from my crackberry.

Thanks to everyone for help with wiring issues.

Nice setup!

Couple of questions - did you make the brew cart or where did you get it? And is the conical on the right a fermenter? How do you like it?

The base frame was built by a neighbor who had access to flat steel stock. He bent the 4in pcs into 2x2 and welded up the base frame. The trays are removeable (20x20). Basically they are sized for the Morebeer 26gal pots. The middle tray is hinged so it can act as a tippy dump between the "goal posts". The platform is simple 2x4 with treated sheet. Picked up the casters at Harbor Freight. Powder coat paint is not holding up well to the heat. Eventually, I will sand and paint with some high-heat Krylon.

The 30gal conical is from US Plastics. I've attached a stainless tri-clamp fitting on the bottom w/ ball valve. So far it works great. No issues. Easy to clean with hose, PBW and then starsan which stays in the vessle until I go to fill.

I am bad about taking pics during brew day. This is it about 90% complete

had the tool box laying around figured it would make a nice platform for a single teir sculpture

If one were to allow an inch or two on each side they could put in some non-flammable heat sheathing, which is what I plan to do. It will not only keep the angle from overheating, but also shield the burner from the wind when I brew outside.
