Being on a tight budget this has been progressing very slow but its getting close. I took it for a manual test drive and worked awesome! Cant wait to get a pump and finish this up.
Mash Tun - Inverted keg with bottom sanke drain from
Bobby_M (Super fast and awesome experience) . Keg was badly damaged so just wacked the whole bottom off.
Used a vinyl tube split down the middle and a 16" plastic flowerpot base as a lid. Very tight and only lost 1deg during the mash. :rockin:
False Bottom - I mangled the hell out of mine and a fellow homebrewer who wishs to go unamed saved my ass and sent me this, impressive. Worked awesome, some smaller grains got though but with simple strainer was able to catch it all so nothing made it into the kettle.
Keggle - Standard with whirlpool port and bottom valve. Plan on adding a sightglass and temp sensor.
My advanced jig with PVC cap to go into the top sanke, worked perfectly.
Cut and full of burs but pretty clean.
My helper learning how to drill, slow... slow... slow...
Picked this up last minute from the Homebrew Store for $19.99, pretty good buy!
Drilled it a little low...whoops but it works.
This was suppose to be on the bottom BUT it wouldnt get water tight so became a whirlpool port.
Just add wort
On the mock stand, once I work out the proper size will remake in metal.

Most my unevenful brewday. Well till the wind took out my hydrometer.
All in all I am very pleased with the system, next brew there will be a stainless chugger pulling from the kettle to the mash tun.
Cant wait to rebrew my Red Rye DIPA on this!
