Spin cycle sold

Included in price. Will PM you

A few items for sale. I have upgraded my system to all stainless pots and don't use them anymore. All are perfectly functional and have served me well. All prices include shipping with US. -False bottom for 10 gallon cooler. Includes bulkhead for cooler and quick disconnect to remove...

Finally, here a few shots of my brew kettle. This point is no longer electric, but I thought I would include it for completeness. I use the trub shield from brewhardware to help minimize trub in the fermenter. For cooling I use an immersion chiller with the "spin cycle" whirlpool...

Here are a couple pics of the inside of the panel. I am by no means an electrical engineer, but it turned out OK. Just not quite up to the neat-ness of some of the builds on this forum. I did not take detailed pics of the wiring process as other thread have covered that better than I can...

Next up was the control panel. As I mentioned, I decided to go with the DIY eBIAB from ebrewsupply.com. When you think about it, the control system for eBIAB is very similar to hybrid RIMS, I just do not need 220v at any step of the process. Ryan Gray from ebrewsupply worked with me to...

Here is a quick shot of my pump setup. I elected to use a chugger pump with stainless inline inlet. I chose to have both the inlet and outlet facing down to maximize drainage and minimize kinking of the silicone tubing. You can see here that I also have an additional thermometer mounted at...

Here is a pic of the RIMS tube mounted on the side of my stainless table. Drilling into the stainless table was a total PITA and took much longer than expected for 2 simple holes. I elected to use the horizontal position for the RIMS tube for a few reasons. First, I think it provides the best...

The first item I received was the RIMS tube from brewhardware.com , so that is what I set up first. I used the full stainless 1500W 120v element from them as well. My garage is wired for 120v 20a GFCI, so my goal was to keep the whole project under 120v 15a to give myself some wiggle room...

Hello all, First want to say thanks to all who have posted build threads before me. I have learned so much from this site. I am currently a propane brewer, and do not have access to a good source for 220V, and do not want to modify my house as I will only be here for the next 1-2 years, so...

I live in Temple, willing to meet somewhere in between?

The other major change I made was to the glycol chiller. SWMBO did not like the amount of noise it was making. This noise comes from two sources so I tackled them individually... 1. The fan for the A/C is very noisy. When I got to thinking about it, the fan used is designed to sit outside...

Time for an update. Got all the tiles installed and grouted. I used to live in New Mexico so I got the accent tiles there to add some character. Close up of some swag I got from the Left Hand brewery in colorado. I also made the hinge for the left side of the bar top. The right...
