It took a long time but here it is:

very nice.

Sweet!

Now I have to buy some sheet SS and break out my riveting gun and expand my cereal killer hopper.

Beauty!

Wow! Very cool.

Good work!

Wow, that is a beautiful system. Awesome work !

Sweet!

What is that SS rack behind the sink? Looks like I need one of those

Pretty awesome.  Wish I had such a space to dedicate to my brewery… Jelly.

A labor of love! And a floor drain! Did you put an addition onto the house for this brewery?

Green with envy. :slight_smile:

Nice work!  Jealous!

nice job!

Awesome!  I am a little bit jealous too! :slight_smile:

Thanks everyone. The system is really satisfying to brew on. No new adition to the house, just part of the finished basement. We have raised flooring in the basement so that made gettting the floor drain in easier. The rack behind the system is “Gridwall” I think? I have the same one behind the sink.

I don’t cut or rivet SS so I made my hopper from particle board.

Did you go with the kit or assembled controller?

Well done! Clean, organized and bright. Very nice.

Gridwall. Thanks! Found a local supplier here in KC.  8)

I went with the pre-assembled controller.

This is the point whereas I stare avariciously at these photos while a trickle of saliva runs down my chin, I’m stricken with the realization that… not only am I a beginning amateur brewer… but I’m an impoverished one too. Impressive brewery! My jealousy abounds. ;D

That looks really nice, well planned out and efficient use of space, jealous as well:)
