I am impressed as well. Makes my black-iron on concrete blocks look childish. Which it is...

I'm particularly impressed with how you were able to bend the stainless beam into such a nice arc.  (and the concrete block too  ;))

That thing is fantastic.

Do you have a short list of spec or a decription somewhere? I'm curious how you are heating it and what steps you automated.

Great project!

Do you do all the welding, fab, and PLC programming yourself? Thats a hell of a skill set!

I'm in the process of documenting the operation and automation side of things. There is a bit more info on my webpage. www.digitalebrewery.com

Do you think? Would it be slightly small? although it would be rather easy to adapt bigger tanks..
