I'm in! Thanks guys!!!

Thanks Corey! Those are two really good ideas!! Sean

Thanks! That actually does make sense. I'll probably just hook one of my sockets directly to the PID and switch between the two probes by unplugging/plugging, as you suggested. That's a bummer since I already put in the switch. Maybe I can think of another use for it. I really appreciate the...

Some pics of the panel with tags.

I'm wondering since I'm not getting any responses, that it might not be possible. If anybody can confirm or deny, I would really appreciate it! I have hit a wall. Thanks!

Well, I am getting really close to finishing this thing. For some reason one of the simplest things I cant figure out, my temp probe switch and wiring is not working. Would you guys be able to enlighten me on how I should be wiring the selector switch that changes from each of the temp probes...

Almost done. A couple of the labels are wrong but most likely will be ordering new ones from a professional label company. I don't quite like the way these turned out. My dad did all of this so I don't have any place to complain. He is the man! Still waiting on the breaker for my house panel and...

Looking good! I can't wait to see the finished system!

Count me in please! Great giveaway, thanks guys!

Hey Corey, I have no yet tried to mount the elements yet but was planning on using this site as a guide. http://e-brewing.tumblr.com/post/28954471438/short-simple-electric-hlt-build-instructions http://billbufkin.com/mill_&_hlt.htm Sorry, I am not much help but will let you know when we get...

Thanks Corey! My Dad has been having trouble with the wiring but I think he figured it out! He is on a mission!

More progress photos! He ended up using truck bed liner paint! It turned out really nice.

Alien, thanks for the suggestion! I actually might end up going in that direction. Last week I brought my parts over to my dads to start building this thing and we got a few holes completed before I had to leave. All week he has been working on it on his own and wow, he is kicking butt!

P-J, I am not sure if this is a crazy request or not but it would be really nice to have the diagram that I am using to reflect my build. Currently I am using several to piece it together, which is fine, but not ideal of course. I would love for the key switch w/ indicator light and contactor...

Haha! I had a feeling, I had read a build on The Powers Brewery website, and he said hat he used a bathroom fan motor without any more details on it that I could find. So I just searched that on Amazon and came up with that motor and thought it might work. I'm glad I asked! Thanks again!! Sean

I wonder if this motor would work? It is part of Amazon Prime and is only $6 more than the used one at H&R. I know, common sense says to just get the one that P-J has used and tested. It is just so easy to order using Amazon Prime:cross:! Sean

Very cool P-J! Thank You!!

I have been thinking about wether or not I should be using a fan motor to churn the HLT water or just buy another pump as Corey and many others are doing. I cant seem to find a thread mentioning reasons to go one way or the other. I just assumed that the motor would end up being the cheaper...

Thanks guys! I will order the contactor, but will probably wait until I receive everything to make sure there is nothing else I will need. Sean

Parts are staring to roll in and I ended up going with the key switch and started to do research on how to add it to my system plans but every plan I see has either a contactor or relay added to make it work. Is that right? I guess I should have asked prior to the order...haha!
