After a week of work I am almost done wiring the control panel. I have 4 wires left to run, but I am waiting for some ring terminals to arrive in the mail so I can finish. I tried to keep the wires somewhat orderly, but I'm sure some electrical pros would say this is a rats nest.
I also got some work done on the heating element enclosures. The front plates have been attached to the gang boxes with JB Weld. They are drying as I type this. The next step in the process for these is probably the most daunting of the entire build. It isn't daunting because it is technically difficult, but because it requires drilling a hole in two of my brand new shiny kettles. No pressure.
For my brew stand I decided to just use some heavy duty shelving rather than build a stand out of wood or metal. The box is sitting in the garage waiting to be assembled. With the control panel almost finished and the other aspects of this build moving along, I can feel the end of the project coming. It is exciting and I am very eager to power it up and brew for the first time.
