I decided to use the STC1000 for my keezer project and purchased two mypin pids for controlling my gas solenoids. The mypin pids came with a better thermocouple.

I bought most of the strut brackets at Home Depot. The double 90's for the corners were purchased on Amazon. TCK123

Going to test the burners tonight. Waiting on the switches and indicator lights to arrive in the next few days so I can install the furnace valves, I mounted the PID"s in the control box last night.

I guess I just need a o-ring and I can install it. Is there a particular spot in the kettle that is ideal for placement?

Does anyone else use this PT100? It looks like the sensor probe could used without a thermowell. Does anyone know if they need a thermowell or not with this sensor? I have two of them that came with the Mypin PID's I bought to control my burners. TCK123

Gas manifold and pump are attached now. The regulator and hoses should be here in a day or two.

Now I need to build the gas manifold and install the pump. I also have Homeywell gas valves with standing pilot to install and build the control box.

Finished mounting burners and wind guards. For some reason, the center burner has different mounting lugs then the two outside burners. The mounting holes were in the same place. One mounting lug needs to be tapped out. The bolt only goes in a couple of turns. Even with the one missing bolt...

I plan on painting the whole stand after I fit the burner mounts. I know the strut will eventually rust if I don't. I will remove the burners and wind guards before painting.

Galvanized strut. I bought the wind guard/ burner mounts from Brewers Hardware.

Success, the strut brackets worked out perfectly. Two more to go.

Figured it out, I found some strut brackets that fit. Had to cut off about 2 inches of the bracket. They are sturdy and look pretty nice.

Oops! duplicate post Thanks, TCK123

I am wondering if anyone has run into the same situation mounting Brewers Hardware wind guard/ burner mounts to their stand. I have 3, Concord 26gal pots. My supports for the pots have a 17 inch opening and the burner guard/ mount is 12 inches. I have to make 3 brackets to hold the mount that...

Better? More like a brew stand less like a fish tank stand. Ran out of strut nuts. I will pick up some more tomorrow and post again. I need to get some casters at HD too. TCK123
