Thanks. Any links to suitable examples of the two sensors you described?

+1 Claudius, with no way to simply read the voltage from a pressure sensor that is how I would do it.

I can appreciate that. Just an FYI: If you use wet pressure sensors like Kladue does there is no need for a bubbler. The bubbler is only needed if you are measuring how much the air is compressed by a volume of liquid. If the sensor is wet there is no air hence no need for a bubbler.

Someone have a link to either of these volume sensor setups? I keep reading about them, but no instruction.

This looks to mostly about bubbler/air systems. At this point in time, about the only level I need/want to track is to know when I've collected my runoff. A simple float switch or something similar will do the trick there. I really don't care what the volume is in between - only when I've reached the volume I want.

Don't you measure your strike water with a certain amount of precision?

Sure, but I just fill it to a mark on the sight glass based on the recipe I'm doing. I then put many more gallons than I need into my HLT (I use the extra during cleanup). When fly sparging, I'll adjust my valves just a bit to match runoff rates, but I'd like an automated float switch (or similar) to trigger the end of the fly sparge process so I don't have to do it on the BCS at that point.

Very nice, clean set-up!

I was asked for dimensional data on the stand, so here is the Visio layout I created before it was welded up.

The idea of the corner gussets was two-fold: one was to prevent heat wash from coming up the sides of the kettles and two was to allow a more flexible footprint for various sizes of kettles. When I started this, I was using the kettles from my first stand (shelving unit) which included two keggles and a 20G short/wide kettle. However, I knew that at some point I might be moving to Blichmann's, so I wanted a flexible footprint for the kettle support area.



edit: OK, I linked the image in from an external source, so now it keeps it larger!

Very sweet build. You should be proud of yourself, enjoy!!
