Ok got some work done this weekend. I cut my stand down by 6". I think it's going to be perfect now, about 34" to the top of the table now. I built a shelve for the bottom where I will mount the pumps. I also built a upper support for the stainless shelve to rest on.
I had a buddy of mine shear me up a couple pieces of stainless I then screwed to the wall for a back splash, total cost $40. Then bolted up the shelve to the wall after some leveling.
Finally the pots for some visual progress!
Starting to look good! You putting in a hood?

What PID did you decide to go with?
All Auber Instruments, for the BK and MLT the SYL-2352 and the HLT a SWA-2451. The 2451 has a built in timer so I can set it and have hot water ready after work or when I wake up to strike in with.

Nice - let me know how that works for you - I have some SYL-2362s with type K thermocouples and a ASL-51 timer I'll be working into a 2 tier gas fired rig here in the months to comeAll Auber Instruments, for the BK and MLT the SYL-2352 and the HLT a SWA-2451.

Sounds awesome! I also have a timer I'm going to work in but I ended up going with the JSL-71. Really only because it has a red and green display that matches the PID's and I'm anal like that. Hoping to know how this whole thing works by about fall time.Nice - let me know how that works for you - I have some SYL-2362s with type K thermocouples and a ASL-51 timer I'll be working into a 2 tier gas fired rig here in the months to come

What settings do you guys use to set your PID's for boiling?

Not to speak for them but when I did use a PID for boiling I would just run mine in manual mode and dial it back to about 70-80%.
I run mine as a tight deadband, proportional only, control, IE no integral or derivative functions. Sometime I have to run it a degree hotter to get the boil I want, sometimes a degree lower to keep it from boiling over.

Would you mind posting some details of your system either here of in a new thread?I run mine as a tight deadband, proportional only, control, IE no integral or derivative functions.

OK give me a day or so and I'll start a new thread. I may have misled you. I am a batch sparger.

Matt, are you adding in audible alarms to your box? If so, what are you using?
This reminds me I need to wire my alarm/indicator light up for my timer. I have had the indicator in place just never wired up. I guess after 2 years it is time.

I run mine in automatic mode with the set point at 195°F. I also set the alarm for the same temp. When I hear the alarm go off, I switch over to manual mode at about 80% duty cycle to bring it up the last few degrees. I watch it like a hawk until the boil breaks because it will try to foam over on me.What settings do you guys use to set your PID's for boiling?
