One piece at a time

It looks like any metal briefcase...

until you notice the plug on the bottom.

I have it set up so I can keep all of the things that don’t get messed with till brew day, hydrometer, refractometer, and miscellanies nick-knacks, in the case.

Image

With the TSS2, dual input/output controller hooked up to 3-way switches. I also have two spare switches. One designated for the march pump and one probably for a fan that I plan on using to prevent boil overs, or whatever. I have two nice extension cords that will be wired into my solenoids.

There you have it. I don’t think it is a work of art but it should do exactly what I need it to. I wanted it all in a case so that after brewing I can unplug everything and hose off the rig if needed. My brew stand has a shelf where it can sit while in operation. Here is where I am at with the stand.

The gas bar was giving me hell. I am making another one with Tees instead on collars to keep it from bowing, less heat.
I tried to make it with no pants but because I do a lot of work for it at work i wore :nutters: instead.

I think I can safely speak for everyone.

You suck. We hate you. Remember us in your will. :asshat:

Awesome job, by the way. But don't let that fool you. We still hate you. :asshat:

Possibly the coolest homebrew gadget that I've ever seen!

Also, suck it.

Looks like the suitcase nuke from 24. Be careful or Jack Bauer will come and smoke your ass.
