I haven't been brewing much in the past couple years and I'm ready for a change. These electric rigs are sweet and I've decided to give it a go. I'm in the planning stages... would like to do a 50A setup so I can run two elements at the same time. The first thing I wanted to check is if I...

Never had an issue with the flat bar (yes it is a tad lighter). Congrats on the new addition! Good news... when they get older you can put them to work. My little guy was 4 in this pic (definitely wouldn't pass an OSHA inspection here). He's 6 now and is in charge of weighing out the grist...

edit: whoops.. link didn't work. see attached image.

I'm in!

Wow! I'm loving all the pictures. Anyone have some pictures of their stand in action? Here's one from last August... A true "no-pants" brewer (OSHA would not approve), my 4-year-old helping me dough-in.

Whoops, yes... sorry. The quantity I listed was wrong. The price I listed was for 2 packs. It cost me $12.90 for 2 packs and I think I used just about every single bolt so buying a third pack is probably a good idea. -Sam

Here's how I wired mine up (more build info & pics here):

I've seen a lot of questions on how to wire a switch for a motorized grain mill so I figured I'd post a diagram of how I did it. The single switch allows you to run the motor in forward or reverse (centered is off). The rest of my build is posted up at wortomatic.com: Sam's Motorized...

sorry for the poor lighting... temp was 35F in my garage when I fired up the burners.

When you open the valve on one, the rush of gas might actually create a venturi effect and pull air/gas back from the other two burners. Try lighting one and get a medium flame going. Then slowly light the next burner. I hardly ever have all three going at once. If I do, they are very...

WOW! I haven't checked here in a while... You guys have put together some kick ass stands. Ox, it may be the check valve on the tank. I'm guessing here but I think if you open the tank too quickly, gas will rush into your plumbing and trip that check valve. Close the valves on everything...

Awesome! One thing that set me back was the fact that my burners didn't come with a "jet orifice". Set my build back by a week. Make sure you don't need one... it's hard to brew without fire!

Thanks man! Sounds like you had a pretty hefty load in the truck. Sorry I wasn't able to help.

tried it out tonight... had 3 beers in about 45 minutes, waited 20 minutes and blew what I guessed from the charts. .03 I think it's worth the $30 if it lasts a few months... again, I purchased it as a novelty so no big deal. Here's the calibration samples for this weekend...:drunk:

Cool, thanks! Sorry I couldn't make it down there.

@lordura - I PM'd you and didn't hear back. Just want to make sure you got my message. @bmoor - you're at your private message limit.

True... just wouldn't want it to register low and give someone a false sense of confidence. The good thing is that I bought this for a neighborhood progressive dinner that we have near Christmas... no driving; everyone walks from house to house. The bad news is that there probably won't be any...

Haha... nice! Although my wife might have a problem with that. Oh, maybe I could get her to blow me (doubt it). Yeah, the accuracy of it would be the problem and I think you have to follow some guidelines when administering a proper test... like waiting 30 minutes after your last drink or...

This thing is on sale at Amazon for about $30 and got some good reviews... Wondering if any here had it (or something similar). Of course, I wouldn't use it to determine whether or not someone could drive; just plan on using it like a toy at some of the holiday parties coming up... for 30...
