Beer may taste bad, but your teeth will be whiter!

Drinking straight from the fermenter? I bet that kid sh*t like a goose the next day.

About 1 inch is around the right spot, but the most important thing is too make sure your entire coupling is on a level spot. Meaning you must get it above the bottom curvature near that bottom weld. Most false bottoms sit pretty low in the keg, so you should not have a problem with the...

You may already done this, but take a grinding wheel and then a flap wheel to the cut. It'll clean up the edges and prevent you from cutting your arm and fingers when using it.

We used the same kit in Raleigh for our homebrew club (CARBOY). Not only was it a great experience, but it helped us dial in our tasting skills. Everyone's perception of a certain flavor is different, so this kit really helps you get on the same page with the people you brew with.

Sorry, I was not saying that the dial or the digital was better. Just that measuring temperatures at mulitple points on my system has helped my brewing.

I have mine listed for $50 each and it includes the pilot valce, pilot burner, regulator, and various fittings. PM me if you are interested and we can work out a fair price with shipping.

I have two pilot lights that I'm selling. I bought them for my Brutus clone, but am not quite skilled enough to pipe them in! They are your normal standing pilot light from a gas fireplace. I can send pics if you like.

Weekend Bump, I know someone out there is building a new system!

I got a request for model info. All I can see is: On the regulator: Maxitrol 9805 21 RU20LSRS On the pilot valve: "Made in Spain" 21400

I recently completed a brew stand, and cussed far too much trying to install these! So I followed the Brutus 10 plans and just have a standing pilot light. Two available, and everything is there to make them work. You just may need a few fittings to fit your application. $50 each.
