I have a MT, BK, and HLT on order from Stout Tanks and they are due in May. I am trying to get a jump start on the control panel build because once the kettles get here... I want to brew!
I will be building a 6'L x 2.5'D x 2'H wood brew stand this weekend. It's similar to Kal's and a few others but I will be running the boards along the 6' length. I am going with 1x6 for the top and 1x4 for the bottom shelf.
I have a bunch of control panel stuff on order (16x16x8 panel, outlets, plugs, extension cord, elements, etc.) and hope to order the PID's, contactors, timers, breakers, DIN terminal blocks, lights, switches, etc. within a few days.
I'm shooting for a 50-amp control panel so I can run back-to-back batches and/or just have the capability of heating up extra water. Plus, I like monsterous wire! I am leaning towards illuminated LED pushbutton switches to eliminate clutter and extra holes on the panel. I shooting for all DIN mounted components. I have yet to figure out which safe start interlock relay & socket I want.
Here is my first stab at a wiring diagram (pretty much copied P-J's and a few others) along with a couple of control panel layout options.
Thanks to a lot of folks on here for the inspiration, ideas, and help. Any feedback on the diagram and panel would be very much appreciated!
