This parts list is assembled with the exact parts I used to put build the brewhouse because I can testify to their use and durability. Alternative parts like brew kettles and pump are listed at the bottom. The kettles might be welded so plan your fittings to be compatible. While I am disclaiming, you know that punching holes in your kettles will void the warranty, right? But think about how much more they can do for you because you set them free.
These links have affiliate code in them but I am no longer affiliated with any of these vendors. I am not a natural self-promoter so have closed my accounts. The URLs will be updated with time.
Thank you for supporting this project and all the best with yours!
