Here's what I'm currently using from Adventures in Homebrewing.
I was previously using a standard perforated false bottom but ended up with a lot of stuck mashes.
I decided to use this FB after reading a few reviews.
I used this for the first time last weekend with a wheat beer. 4lbs 2 row & 4...
Check out ritebrew.com. They sell by the ounce or the pound.
You also get a discount when buying more than 10lbs of the same grain.
You can setup grain bills so that all the grains for your brew can be mixed and milled together.
Also, if you are in the upper midwest you can use Spee-Dee...
What gas fittings did you buy from Ritebrew?
Looking at their website, only the regulator has a 3/8" barb.
They state that 5/16" tubing will fit over the barb or you can swap out the input on the manifold to the 1/4" mpt x 3/8" barb.
Then run 1/4" tubing from the valves to the ball/pinlock...
In soda dispensing setups, they use an 1/8 id hose connected to 3/16 MFLs.
If you can find the smaller id tubing, you would be able to shorten the run.
I'm currently out of town but will post a picture of an MFL with the smaller tubing connected. Had several cold plates that were given to me...
You are correct.
Green is NO & Red in NC?
The gray block is the connection for the led.
The auction listing is for a 24v AC/DC supply for the led.
Do you plan on switching a transformer on and off with whatever you are controlling to power the led?

I have this same issue with my HLT. I have tried several SSRs. They all do this as well. Mine are rated for 60 amps and is controlling 5500w element. I have to cycle the power to get them to release. What I have noticed with mine is how hot they get. I'm thinking of installing a fan on the heat...
I've been thinking about how to do this as well.
I'm thinking of building a smaller BK with a 110v element.
I can unplug the larger BK and plug in the smaller BK.
Wire up the 110v element to the same plug that will connect to your panel.
The plug only needs the hot wire controlled by the SSR...
A couple of options that I can think of and maybe someone else has another suggestion are:
1. Install a 45 degree swaglok
2. Add a nipple and coupler to extend your current swaglok further into the keg.
I have to agree with everyone in regards to wiring the control panel.
There is plenty of info buried here in the forums as well as Kal's site.
I just completed mine and spent around $500 to build.
I still have the LT and kettle from my propane setup so I can travel.
As for which is better, I...
