Collaboration System Progress

Our system is progressing. We were able to order our larger kettles, read: 55 gallon stainless steel barrels. All three of them have arrived and we have begun converting them. We are going to have tri-clover ferrules welded in for the element attachments. The boil kettle and hot liquor tank are off having that done right now.

I only currently have a picture of the mash tun in progress but all three kettles look the same. Eventually I will polish them all to a mirror finish, but for now they will be used as is.

Mash tun with outlet and sight glass. Sight glass
still needs to be trimmed for height. Hole in the top
right is for the inlet, I was short a washer so I was not
able to install that fitting.

Inside view of the mashtun, fairly simple.
Now I just need to order the parts to build a custom
false bottom.
