Awww shucks
Could you post some detail pics of the insides of the kettles? Thanks.
What size stainless pipe are you using and what type of fittings do you have for connections on the stainless plumbing?
Wow Jon, you weren't kidding when you said you were stepping it up. Looks great!
Hey, where did you pick up those handy solenoid ball valves for the liquid transfers?
Whoever is inheriting your old stuff is getting some nice equipment. Your new stuff is beyond deluxe. How did you attach the returns at the top? Welded?
I love the symmetry of it all. If it works as good as it looks, you'll be making some damn fine beer.
love the stand and layout! using some of your ideas and adjustments in my stand.
which valves did you use from valves4projects? also, which valves are you using on the gas/pilots (the yellow ones).
Thanks!
Is that aluminum diamond plate and what thickness did you go with? Looking to order a piece to copy yours, did you buy it online?
Very nice brew rig you designed there JonW
I thought I saw the video of your setup on YouTube;
Brewcommune Homebrewer's Club" Brew Day
Well thought out and executed

Jon, awesome build man!
would you happen to have a part number for the hoses you used? i need to replace mine since i'm not 100% happy with what i got from mcmaster.
Thanks!
About 5 seconds.how long do those ball valves take to close?
Thank you!very, very, very nice!
I rinse and sanitize everything after a brew day. On brew day, I run boiling wort through the chiller for the last 10 minutes of the boil.How do you sanitize your chiller? Do you recirculate the boiling wort or do you run sanitizer through before first strike?
Thank you!Beautiful build
Do you have any problems with not being able to drain all the liquid out of the plumbing?

There were Chugger pumps (March clone) on Ebay last year for less than $100 and some actual March's going for barely over $100 at the time.Great job!
Where are you finding pumps for $100.
The solenoid valves all use a rubber diaphram for their sealing. They do not come totally clean when rinsing fluid through your system and they tend to stick over time when used with wort. The blue valves are SS ball valves that clean 100% when running PBW or other cleaner through them. I use the less expensive solenoids for gas, but the ball valves for liquid.Stupid question, but is there any reason you went with the blue valves over the black valves similar to the gas vales?
I am assuming, correct me if I'm wrong, but the black valves are solenoid vales and the blue are electronic ball valves correct?
Is there any draw back to using all solenoid valves for a similar design?

The solenoid valves open & close instantly, but the ball valves take about 5 seconds to fully open or close.
