Yeah I am sure I need more help than a few forum posts, thanks for confirming that, hence the title "super rookie" . your wisdom is much appreciated, thanks for the help. since i have just relocated and the local brewing club doesn't meet during the summers I haven't met any wiring savvy local...

Ahh, ricand thanks so much. I was afraid I had committed some forum faux pas in my asking. I am wiring the auber 2362 universal PID to some 24V honeywell gas valves. I have the auber temp probes so that should be compatible. Two questions: 1) how do I split my power line into two? I...

have I asked too much? are my questions confusing? I just need some electrical faq/wiring help. Anyone?

I will be doing the same thing and from what my contractor buddy and the propane folks have told me: 1) make sure your burner is equipped for propane, if you have used it on a propane tank before no big deal. it will have the correct jet or orifice installed. 2) it really doesn't matter what...

hey folks, I have collected everything short of the switches and some gas plumbing lines for a brutus 10 single tier build. I have been quite inspired by Josh Landin's recently famed Blue Brutus stand. You can read about his build under " My new brew system, a brutus 10 with some nice...

Or you use this off of the orifice http://andersonfittings.thomasnet.com/viewitems/sae-45-flare-fittings/ector-female-flare-both-ends-sae-45-flare-fittings? And then one of the adaptors, like the ones that come with your standard yellow gas flex lines...

Plumbing wise you mentioned there was no official way to go rigid from flare to npt. How does this look? http://andersonfittings.thomasnet.com/viewitems/sae-45-flare-fittings/-adapter-female-flare-to-mpt-sae-45-flare-fittings? I think this would handle it, you'd need a bushing of course to...

once again Josh you are the man! I am a few switches and some plumbing pieces away from having my parts list completed. I'll have to get with someone local who is a bit more electrically savvy for the wiring.

Josh, thank you again for your many answers. I thought the gas valve thing had to do with safety and being able to kill gas flow if the "fit was hitting the shan" and you needed to shut the system down emergency style. I understand the automation, that was kind of what I was thinking, keep the...

Remind me why you have the HOA switch on the gas? With a gas shut off valve and those super safe honeywell valves I'm not understanding the purpose. I am sure I read it somewhere but can't find the thread now. Also why aren't the pumps rigged into the automatic system? Any help would be...

So I am beginning to figure out more for wiring. Does the MAIN switch need to be a Double Pole? Again sorry for the rookie questions

Also does anyone have a more detailed version of the wiring diagram? Josh, your "thrown together" one was helpful to me as I was shopping and planning but now that I am ready to start connecting I am lost. Like many before me I am a bit of an electrical rookie.

Quick question on this system regarding the pilot lights. Would it support something like the spark ignition mod I have seen on other posts? They call for a dual control valve equipped for direct spark ignition.

Can you explain to me what a check valve is? I am quite interested but wondering if I had 3 kegs could I have them at 3 different pressures or does both lines on each regulator have to be occupied ? Another way to ask that question is can I shut off one side of each Y independently? Also how...

Hey Josh or others who may have built something along these lines. Most of my parts have arrived and I have a couple more electrical questions. Are you using waterproof switches? and is there somewhere that you show a more detailed wiring diagram? I have seen the one Josh posted but am...

so if you were going to make your own higher flow barb would it make sense to buy the type D (with female NPT threads) drill them threads out and press fit/weld a tube/home made hose barb on there. Brewbeemer speaks about modifying the type C. I wondered which would be better if you did want to...

never mind, I watched the Venerable BobbyM's video again. I had a different fitting in mind. there really isn't room to bore out the barb any further.

Has anyone considered boring or drilling out the barbed versions for better flow? The walls appear pretty thick to me and we homebrewers run pretty low pressures. I realize many folks like the elbows for the directional change they provide without kinking the tubing. But I will be using these...

Thanks Bobby, you are true saint amongst brewers. thanks again for all of your efforts and sharing. I completely get why the elbows are nice. I think I will have to assemble a good portion of my single tier and see where I will need them. and just to be clear is there any benefit to the...

Hey Bobby or any other camlockers out there, I can't seem to find the thread on what size Silicon o ring to replace the gasket with. Can you provide specs? Is there enough thread to grind and clamp on type B or F if you didn't need an elbow? If so I can try clamping on the threads and...
