This is too much.
Not too much progress to post. Working on getting my control panel labeling done then I'll be able to finish the wiring/testing.
Odds and ends with the brewery (finishing welds, removing rust, priming, etc). Thought I'd post this pic of our other over elaborate project. It's going to be a 3 chamber glycol chiller fermentation/conditioning chamber. Below is a pick of the frankenchiller DIY glycol chiller. Coil will be submersed in container of glycol and then pumped through transmission coolers in each chambers.
I'll likely start a separate thread on it once I have more to post.
Nice build, just found this searching around.
I plan to upgrade to electric soon and want to model mine somewhat after yours.
I have a few questions:
Why do you use "X" junction in the inlet of your pumps?
Do you have any issues priming your pumps?
In the spirit of saving a little money, would the assembly work fine without the 6" tri-clamp spacer tubing?
What is the advantage of having the three-way valves directly over the pumps, could these be replaced with a "T"?
Is you system designed to clean in place, if so what is the advantage of having tri-clamp fittings over camlock and threaded fittings?
How did you place the dual elements in the keggles and what is the minimum fluid level that you have to maintain to keep your elements submerged?
Do uou have a wirering diagram for your build?
