That's exactly the one I just ordered. I thought that was the one (thickness wise) that I had ordered.... but the ID I got a little larger since the 1/4" nipple is .540" but apparently I bought the 1/16" thick ones and the ID turned out to be too much anyways. So even if I HAD ordered the right...

O-rings came in last night and the ones for the seal in the compression fitting fit like a gem. Somehow I screwed up AGAIN on the large o-rings and got ones that are too thin and too large in ID. I am going to order new ones today and since I am still waiting for the washers... it shouldn't...

The only reason I was straying you away from ladling was for time purposes. Having gravity do most of the hard work for you is the best always. Give each a shot, but if you are worried about the amount of WORK you have to do, the current modified setup will be the easiest for brewing.

Just ordered the 16 dollar set... thanks for the info!

What does everyone recommend for a step bit? I looked on amazon the other day and saw single bits for 25-30 bucks. For that much, I might as well pay someone to do it!

No one has anything?

Hell if you really arent concerned with your garage wall, line the back of the wall with bricks and the side that isnt already brick with bricks and the bottom with bricks. That will shield everything from the heat and actually wont look too bad. Then you can hop on the gravity train to no heavy...

And we start hearing the dings! I was trying to get an idea of what you had so I could throw suggestions your way to MAKE a 3 tier! You seem to be jumping ahead. I'm not sure if the whole burner thing is a great idea indoors next to a wall, but only you and your sheet metal would know for sure...

Thats a 2 tier... but thats besides the point. When you say cooker are you talking a stove or another Bayou Classic -esque burner?

Well there you go....stainless it is!!!!!! It really is pathetic that stainless is cheaper than copper these days....

I'm not sure any of us are arguing that stainless is a bad choice, but I would argue it is still the more expensive choice....which is the major driver in any of my purchases

By that statement I assume upgrades to the stand are not on the horizon. By your "ladder with hot water" comments, I also assume this isn't a 3-tiered system. Maybe some photos/more details about the configuration would be helpful here. I would suggest heating your strike water at the highest...

Since my steel supply contact is lagging in supplying me with what I need, I still have time to overthink the burner thing. I have the design all together, but I still have no idea what height to put the burners at. Suggestions?

Right now, I am looking at $16.... thats barring any other changes that need to be made. As of right now, I am recommending that anyone who wants to use this with a temp. gauge should buy the thermometer, measure the stem, and go to home depot or lowes and buy the compression fitting that fits...

Done and done.... hopefully those get here pretty quickly and I can get the prototypes up and installed this weekend/later this week.

Well, after scouring everywhere for the last couple days, I have resorted back to my trusty thread for advice. I am trying to find a source for stainless steel washers to finish these sight glasses up. I am going to be ordering the o-rings tomorrow and don't want to place that order until I have...

That equals bottled cancer... the beer gods will have their revenge....

You will never be happier than you can be with these two businesses

I don't know of a better place to put this thread... but move it if it needs to be. I have been shopping around for good parts to build various addons for my new brew-rig and have been floored by the customer service I have received at McMaster Carr and Buyfittingsonline.com (division of...

I think sears loves to advertise things like this.... let me see if I can get a link. EDIT: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00952157000P Slightly Cheaper: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00966196000P
