The propane hose actually reached the propane tank on the ground, but you can buy propane hoses

Well crap. haha, Thanks for letting me know. I should have checked in here before welding it
all together. So even on my 2bbl system I need to keep the top of my kettles under 5 feet? I
live in Washin...Posted in thread: Advice on brewing system on 06-06-2012 at 06:29 PM
I know... when i set the new kettles in I will be lowering the top as much as I can (in fact I

system. 120mm I believe. I should be pretty sturdy.Posted in thread: Advice on brewing system on 06-04-2012 at 09:47 PM
I have a 2bbl system on order. Ready for pick up in July, I understand that it looks silly with
the keggles but it is built to the dimensions of my 2bbl system. I may need to add some
diagonal support...Posted in thread: Advice on brewing system on 06-03-2012 at 04:50 AM
I am looking at doing PID controllers. they are affordable, and they should do everything I
need them to. I am putting together a list to order when I get paid! Once I put together a
controller I can ...Posted in thread: Advice on automated system for my brewing system on 06-03-2012 at 04:47 AM
I was just going to say I am looking into PID controllers and switches. It looks like a very
