Ok guys, so I have been wanting to build a brew sculpture for a while here. I just never really started because I have nowhere to store the darn thing. Recently though, my step-dad gave me a very nice option. He used to have a carlot, like a year ago, and its been out of business for a while, but he still rents the building because it has a rack, and its good convenience to work on cars. He told me, he'd give me a key, and I could put all my brewing stuff in there, and i could just go there whenever, I wanted, brew there, and just bring the fermenter home and pitch my yeast. So now again comes the brew sculpture.
What I want to build is an all electric one, so I can put it on wheels, and just brew wherever. I want to be able to just tell a computer to set the first burner at 154(or w/e temp), and tell me when it is there, then use march pumps to flow to the grainbed, and set the mash to the same temp, and not have to worry about it, im sure it would barely even need to turn on since it was allready at that temp, but incase it did, id have some sort of stirring mechanism so the grains dont scorch. Then use another march pump, to transfer to boil kettle. set boil kettle at exactly 213(with 1 degree differential) so I get a good boil, but dont need to fidget around, and worry about boilovers. Then lastly one last march pump to make Jamil's whirpool, and then down to the fermentor. & I have a lot of questions about this.
1) where does one get such gnarly electric burners? The only place i have found them is NB. but it doesnt burn from the bottom, you actually insert a heating rod thing in ur kettle. Which im not sure if i like that idea or not. http://www.northernbrewer.com/burners.html
2)If i dont get this burner, if i find an electric burner that burns from the bottom, id just then use a ranco, and put the probe in through a thermoweld. My question though is, would there be a problem running 3 rancos, and 3 marchpumps all through one powersupply plugging into the wall? and how would i even do that? just a good ol surge protector enclosed in a hobby box? (eletronics moron)
3)With the mash, would a false bottom be enough you think to not scorch the grains? or should I make a stirring device?
4) what do you think I am looking to spend on something like this? I want to make it a flat sculpture, and of course if im going to do it, id wanna do it right, and go stainless. ( i know it wont be cheap, but i feel if im going to make a brewsculpture, why make a cheap one)
5) any other advice at all what-so-ever you could give me. (keep in mind I have ADD so i sure i will think of other questions later, that I will ask, that i didnt think of now. and I am a noob
