If you do ,,, read above about the hole sizes and the upside down... though this works , it can always be improved ,,,, hopefully it will be pretty much automatic with the mash temp :teasing-tease: , could have gone rims but i like the simplicity of BIAB

Coming along really nice mate. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Thanks for all the pics I recon most blokes get a lot out of em. I found the pic of the element guard particularly helpful as I will soon be needing to work something like this out. :?

yeah i have , its probably at a bad angle .... i have drilled a hole in the bottom on the guard fed it through and its got a O-ring bolted to the chassis ,,, its probably a good idea to get the mods to put one of those warnings up as im also going to take pics of the controller.

The element is one of mac's (the one with the welded ferrule) and i cut a 32mm hole in the guard , wrapped the thread in plumbers tape, then put on the guard , then the silicon gasket, i then screwed it into the keg.... i needed the plumbers tape to fill the small leak... but all is good now.

@Res ... thats the reason why i go into detail with pics , if you notice on my bubbler build i did things a little differently , they all work and always trying to add something.

I like the control box linny but i was wondering if you were going to insulate the control box from the keg, i was thinking that the heat from the keg would have a negative effect on the heat sink for the power regulator. :-B
