I purchased the false bottom and stand and it does not fit for an upside down bottom drain keg. There is a significant gap between the stand and the false bottom.

I am using this old schematic by P-J. I want to add a second PID for monitoring mash temps. Also the element select switch is LED, and the main PID power switch is LED as well so I need to wire them accordingly. I cannot remember how to wire the 3 position switch to have the switch select...

Did some work on the panel last week. I was impatient waiting for the paint to dry so I need to scrape off some newspaper on the bottom. I am going to wire in the inside tomorrow.

It swings open ok. The hinged end is grooved so when the case was closed it fit snug in there. The only time its tough is when you go to close the door. It has a little hiccup when the groove locks in. If i really wanted to I could probably take an angle grinder to the groove and take it out...

Added the hinges today and cut the sheet metal to cover the openings. The door doesnt swing open that smoothly, but it wasn't designed to be hinged.

necro bump but this is still available for sale

So I found the wiring diagram that was made by P-J. We used this for our original control panel build. I want to make some slight alterations to it now. The switches for the 2 pumps, element select, and PID power will be 2-way LED, and 3-way LED respectfully. I am also adding a third temp...

So I was cleaning out my garage and I found an old Alienware PC case. It's about time we upgraded our existing control panel, so I figured this might work for the new box. Anyone have built something similar? The dimensions are 20x17x8 which is pretty similar to most standard panel sizes. The...

Could a similar build work without the RIMS, and instead using the HEX in the HLT/BK as a HERMS? Dough in the MT then heat HLT to mash temps. Recirc the mash through the HEX in the HLT, once mash is finished you "sparge" with what you have in the HLT and recirc and then dump everything back...

Does anyone know what size flare fitting fits on the firestone gas post? Thanks

Great thread. How many kegs can you clean per hour?

That is the direction I was thinking. I want to use this style cooler http://www.homedepot.com/p/Rubbermaid-10-Gallon-Water-Cooler-Orange-Cooler-FG1610HDORAN/202260809 . I was thinking trying to get a compression fitting on the inside and somehow connecting to this coil and keeping the round...

Hey guys so we have an electric keggle system that we do our 10 gallon batches on and we had some coil left over from our herms. I wanted to put together a 10gal cooler mash tun and possibly using this left over coil as a false bottom. I am mildly handy but I am unsure of the best way to...

Look at this guy. Yea I was using techno flora fertilizer every couple of weeks and I just dressed some compost on top the other day. I guess we will see how it is in a few weeks. Are you getting any flowers yet?

hey guys i noticed on my hop plants there seems to be some deficiencies and was wondering if anyone could help me out. I took a few pictures of leaves from three plants, cascade, centennial and williamette. There seems to be multiple deficiencies, the pale yellowish leaves I would guess is...
