Yeah, it was binding on something. Thanks for the information Kladue; Based on your feedback, I'm sure it will be fine once I put it back together. Anybody have a good source for pump parts for these? I would like to have a few spare parts around just in case. Great setup for the pumps...

Pump wouldn't pump. I took the head off my pump, motor was spinning but the impeller was sticking. I pulled it off shaft and put it back and it spins "ok" now. Should this shaft be greased ? The bearings look ok to me.

It will run the cost up, butif you have access to salvaged parts, you can do it dirt cheap. My valves and modules were given to me for a few beers by a civil engineer friend. It seemed complex to me too, but in reality it was quite simple to put together; and extremely gratifying.

Beemer, not sure what you are referring to in my post. I was describing two spark setups, one with pilot (which I have), and one direct burner fire. I prefer the pilot since it proofs the flame with minimal gas.

Ok, so no crystal at all in this; right? Thanks Yooper. I haven't forgotten, by the way.

Ok, thnks Pol, I figured as much, but was second guessing my logic even though I have been using this softwar for all of my brews.

I'm having a senior moment here. I just had to up my "left in kettle" quanitty to try a new setup and was wondering about batch size. If I plug in 5.5 gallons for batch size, this will be my after boil quantity above the post boil waste numbers; right? In other words, my 5.5 gallon batch will...

I'm embarassed to say tha I just had my first taste of DFH60 last week and loved it. Yooper, I am going to brew this tomorrow. I will use 50/50 domestic and M.O. or 100% M.O. though as I enjoy that blend for hoppy beers. Whatcha think? Also...............Shhhhh......Freshops has '08 Simcoe...

Hmm.... I had my first pull last nightand it was awesome on draft. My two drinking mates were loving it too. I rather like the balance this year. Go figure!

You need some aluminum pilot tubing: A pilot burner with the appropriate orifice: Thermocouple: And a way to attach the pilot ot the burner. To get this:

Brewvegas Are you trying to copy MN's system with standing pilot or do you want spark ignition? The valves you show require you to hold down a button for 30-45 seconds while lighting pilot or burner. Since you have to be at the valve to light them, there is no advantage to using any kind...

You use ignition modules in conjunction with valves made for the purpose. Dual valves will have a pilot valve and main valve built in. When the pilot is lit by the spark, the main valve opens, if it goes out, the main valve closes. Other setups without dual valves spark the burner directly...

Understood. No much else you can do.

I think there needs to be some vetting process to insure that only serious members participate. Prior trading experience required maybe?

Possibly; bunch of guys from my club (Maltose Falcons) will be there.

Just ordered my '08 Whole Simcoe yesterday from Freshops. Awesome,

Lol. Good analogy :) Pass the matzoh.

That's cool. I think the idea is to be careful about over-sparging. there are formulas for calculating no-sparge, but I run about 56-58% on my system and about 65% for single batch sparge. These are low for most of the guys around here.

I haven't received any feedback either.
