Helpful thread. The blob of solder on the contact method works great. 1. Hold iron to contact 2. Hold solder to contact and deposit blob 3. Hold wire to blob 4. Hold iron to contact 5. Remove iron and keep hold on wire until solder cools This is the hard part in my experience. If...

After scrutinizing this thread for many hours, I came to a revelation that cleared up so many things for me. Radio Shack 8-position jumper. Bump for my dumb ass figuring something out finally. :fro:

I replaced those fittings with standard NPT to flare fittings. They came apart internally when I was disassembling my gas bar to make some changes. I didn't know what they were to be honest.... Sounds like a pretty decent safety feature that I should probably look into replacing :/

I'm in the middle of a build and am shamelessly ripping off the adjustable burner rack idea. There's been a few moments where I've wondered if it was worth it honestly. End of the day it's a cool feature that may come in handy.

Wow so I'm not the only one with this thread on one monitor and Sketchup on the other? I've read a ton of build threads here and I think this one is exactly what I'm shooting for.

Yep all the beer porn kind of ropes you in. Everytime I'm on the computer my wife says "obsessing again?" for a couple weeks now. She thought a few buckets and a carboy were going to be the limit of this. Taking a welding class next month so yah, I probably won't be documenting a build since...

Ack McMaster has 1" SS compression/NPT fittings for the bargain price of only $75 each. I could buy a welder and a plasma cutter for how much all the fittings would cost on what I have in mind. Thanks for the replies!

Hope some engineering type knows an answer: I happened upon about 100' of stainless steel process air piping with misc valves, bends etc. Very professionally built stuff that was cutoff the biotech plant I work at (air only not the special sauce we make). It's mine for the taking so I'm...

Hey I live in SW Portland. Pretty new to the hobby myself (4 batches) and this site is great for sure. See you at the LHBS

Awesome. It may look like a little piece of the trailer park hanging off your hitch but we know different. Also my big takeaway from this is that there is a perfectly good welder out there that will only drink MGD. Most disgusting beer on earth

I've looked around a bit and can't find a photo of beerstone inside a keg so I'm hoping somebody can help. I bought an old sanke keg that had what felt like 5 gallons of ancient coors light in it. Nasty stuff. I cut the top off of it to make a keggle. Inside I'm seeing streaky white crust...
