When the panel is on its back, the weight/tension of the wires will try to pull the door shut eventually. Its really easy to use and there is zero steam escaping from my kettle. Really nice build. Since everything is confined to my basement, I clean by re-circulating PBW at near boiling temps through the entire system.
The mash kettle is up on the kiddie table to the right, and in an effort to save a lot of time, I collect wort into that smaller 10.5gallon pot in 3-5 gallon spurts while beginning the boil on the earlier runnings.

The biggest plus for me is being able to brew whenever I have free time. Most solve with with a very long low watt density element, and this goes a long way to solve most issues.
Sink ejector pumps can be a bit of an eyesore, so the wall also conceals what would have been an ugly mess of PVC pipe. There are so many great ideas out there and I borrowed many of them. The cost of the tools and equipment needed should not be understated.

Learn how to convert your propane system or build an electric system from the ground up! It was great except the 2-hours spent every brewday schlepping equipment out of my basement and shed. Induction works by heating the metal via magnets. The silicone hose does allow for easy rearrangement of pump transfers, and both ends get relocated multiple times per session.
I'm running an EBrewsupply 30 amp controller though. Fantastic resource and many friends built a system following the same blueprint. My system is essentially the same as yours.
I can easily do back to back batches of 17 Gallons in a single session. The risk of carbon monoxide is dangerous and can cause serious harm. With propane burners, a lot of heat is lost to the air.
Just a little more money gets you a quality tool that will last a while. I combed over hundreds of sites and forums looking for advice from fellow brewers. I knew I could build better for the same price (orders of magnitude). Your probably better off buying quality used freshly ripped out of some decommissioned process line. I leaned into what the space already had to offer and spruced it up. (And sometimes a really cheap short element = high watt density = bad - can Scorch the wort and lead to premature failure of the heater) This set up had a number of issues, large swings and overshoots, lack of temp stability - its like heating your house with a flame thrower.
With eBrewing, you can repurpose these gadgets to precisely control your mash temp.
Since it sits right off our finished basement, it really adds to the ambiance. I ended up buying a black Hisense 18 cu ft fridge and added 5 Intertap faucets. They use magnets to produce heat. TOOLS; But from that and as someone coaches robots and volunteers at an electronics up-cycling/recycling non-profi, IMO it's well worth the money to buy the right and quality tools for the job. The individual choices here were great, as I was able to get different sized kettles and options.
I also added a GFCI adapter for additional protection. I had these in my old setup and loved the convenience. It was nice knowing that if I couldnt clean my equipment right away, it wouldnt be sitting in my backyard where it could be damaged or stolen. Assuming you brew 10g batches?
A steam condenser on the other hand is a relatively new addition to the homebrew world. If your grip strength is not what it used to be (or never was), they make dual action, high leverage pliers/cutters. Although a three-vessel HERMS system seems needlessly complex, and I say that as someone who has no plans to go brew-in-a-bag. That being said, building a basement brewery requires a lot of thought and planning if you want to do it safely and properly.

How many times do you brew a year? Pros: A commercial induction burner is all you need if you have 240V.
There is much less chance of caramelizing your wort, creating hot spots or heating unevenly during the mash.
No? My old kettle lost 0.5 gal per hour during the boil and my new one loses 1.5 gal/hr.
The new brewery currently features a 2436 inch Regency sink.
Use more than one induction burner. It is not a general heat source like a gas flame or common electric kitchen burner.
I love my setup, but it came after a couple years of developing a process for biab in a small apartment. Where do you recommend shopping for used, decommissioned and are there brands you recommend?
Luckily in my basement brewing area, I have two separate 120v electrical circuits. My first brew session was a disappointment.

If you are really into your carbon footprint or really want the cheapest price per therm, electric is less expensive than propane. I'm still using the one that I built 8 years ago and was also able to upgrade it to back to back with minor updates. Recirculating or stirring the mash is necessary to prevent hot spots. If your going with a kit- compare the parts, compare the workmanship. HIGH EFFICIENCY: Choose from 20 preset power levels (100W to 1800W) and 20 preset temperature level settings (100F to 460F). Typically, my strike water is at the correct temp when I am done with my other brewday tasks. You will need at least a 400 CFM fan for the smallest home breweries and even that may not be enough depending on your setup and requirements. Extremely helpful, knowledgeable, responsive staff, Flexible configuration.
I figured this would be the perfect spot for an inset fridge/keezer build.

I'm also not seeing how you transfer water from your HLT to the mash tun, as it looks like both pumps recirculate their own closed loops and don't transfer between vessels. This type of protection could end up saving your life. Small differences in the design of the pliers makes a big difference in how well they cut too (leverage).
They are inexpensive and easy to acquire. I have a _very_ unfinished space in my 1890s basement so gonna take a bit more work, but hoping to end up at least functionally this nice. GFCI breakers are much more expensive than a standard breaker but you need to determine the value of your life (mines worth the $100 price tag to me).
A steam condenser is equipped with a fine mist sprayer that fits inside the unit and is fed with cold tap water.
Make sure you have a good understanding of electricity, especially using fuses and breakers.
I'm also able to hold temps accurately for a perfect mash and no boil overs.
I needed to move my brewing indoors.
Condensate hoods are the gold standard for professional commercial kitchen venting however they are very pricy options.
Note that some links may be out of date (if a washer suddenly costs $100, let the guy know), and it's Euro-oriented (220v circuit).

The problem is even a large and powerful range hood can still lead to condensation build-up. This is a neat build and right up my alley!

After a few brews, I added a temp controller to make life easier.
Instagram is a great place to start as so many homebrewers showcase their setups.
This is how Im brewing now, although sometimes Ill drag my stainless NSF tables over if we have the kid table in use elsewhere.
I either needed to resign myself to brewing 4 or 5 times a year or I needed a new method. Use two 120V induction burners and span your pot across them Pros: This will be cheaper than a commercial burner. This is your sandbox create what you want! I still plan to finish some day. Steam removal is one of the most important things to consider.
Look at the finished products and compare any differences and pick the one that appeals to you the most.
