My eBIAB set up

Still finishing up the brew space, but hoping to run the first batch through next weekend. I'll be putting in a march pump to re-circulate. There are two bath vents above the keggle. If there's too much condensation, I'll just take the grills off and rig up a hood. I got the controls from Brewmation. The electrical outlets all look pretty ghetto, but they work and they're safe.

There'll be tub sink with a water filter to the left of the brew stand. Have a couple winpaks crying out to be filled!

After reading your adventures in recirculation, I decided to skip it altogether and just vorlauf, stir and cover. Working so far, thanks for the help there!

After 5 batches though, I've been getting insane condensation, those bath fans just weren't cutting it. Here's the solution. Sheetmetal cone directly over the kettle. The cone fixture is removable by pulling a pin and unchaining it. Alternatively I can just wheel the stand out for mashing (and later hop additions) and then back for the boil. It's powered by a 700 cfm hydroponic fan vented directly outdors. Should work great. Not real copper (just rustoleum paint) but it looks cool.
