Custom built control panel project. The black letters are engraved in to the 1/8" SS Face, the body is made from Oak. It was a project that I started to upgrade my system and never finished, my loss your gain. It comes with everything pictured. Everything is brand new. $150 OBO plus shipping...
The results are in, the side by side tasting proved a few differences in the beers. Blood & Honey on the left, my clone on the right. The first and most obvious differences, are color and carbonation. I used red wheat in place of white wheat, the difference in SRM is small but may contribute...
I don't live in the DFW area but my bro in law brings me a lot of beer from there. The temptress is pretty awesome, I still have a 4 pack of it. I would suggest you try the Blood & Honey, I like it a lot, It opens a whole new world to American Wheat beers.

Oh I plan on having 20 gallons next weekend. Citra/Amarillo Pale Ale tomorrow, and if everything works properly. 20oz of Nugget/Cascade for a DIPA for next Saturday, National Homebrew Day!
Thanks guys, I'm pretty stoked. My wife is happy that it is done so she doesn't have to ignore all my homebrew equipment purchases when she is looking at the bank account. She is pretty tolerant of my "beer stuff" but she doesn't want to know how much it cost. My target completion was May 4th...
