    Solenoid Valves for Brutus

    The 1/2" works well (same as Lonnie Mac's design using the ASCO valves). I use 15 gal kettles, 10-11 gal batches. I use the 23 tip jet burner. My son has a similar Brutus 10 system and he uses the 1/2" valve on the banjo burner. Plenty of heat. Hope this helps.

    Alternate to the Love controller

    I purchased my controllers from www.lightobject.com the JLD612. Depending on valve you may need SSR (Solid State Relay). They work well on my Brutus 10 clone (and about half the love price).

    What controller do I need?

    I went with the Chinese controllers from http://www.lightobject.com. The JLD612 (you will need the relay for the ASCO valves). They can control either AC or DC. Good prices ($45 controller plus relay), fast shipping, easy to set-up.
