blackheart - A couple of comments on your brew logic... I was trying to modify your logic to fit my 3-pump system, and I ran across a couple of issues (lest I'm missing something)... 1) It appears you'll need another valve (electric or otherwise) at the end of your elevated line going to the...

From your diagram, you're using 2 check valves; one at the exit from Pump 1, and another just prior to entering the Kettle. Do you have a source for these? I found an inexpensive ($12.99) one on Amazon (B005F7PZTO), but it has a crack pressure of 4.5 psi. Since the March 809-PL-HS pump...

jpalarchio - Yeah, it's that LAST one on the L-port that I'm trying to find implemented in an electronic valve, e.g., all flow stopped, but I haven't been able to identify an electronic valve that offers that state, only the first two (flow right, flow left). Unless I'm missing something in all...

Non-technical solution... ditch the random glassware, and buy a nice set of glassware all the same size... just decide on a size, e.g. 12 oz., 500ml, etc. Do that, and you can set the dispenser at that volume and hit it every time.

WHEW!!! I guess I dodged another chance to prove that there really IS such a thing as a stupid question! Thanks for the clarity... I figured I'd be getting what I paid for if I went with the electrical valves, but just wasn't sure of what that additional value would be. Just getting a...

How about an electronic 4-way valve?

My brewstand is ever evolving... PID temp control was up first, and now I'm going for valve control... then volume control (fill the HLT and Boil Kettle)... then velocity control (1 liter/minute sparge)... and then "finish" by tying it all together with full automation (BrewTroller, BCS-462, or...

Who do I have to call in order to give someone my mailing address? ;)

Count me!! :)

Since this thread was advertising a boil kettle other than what I now have for sale (mash tun), I moved it to another thread that is more appropriately titled. See https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f16/complete-polarware-15-gallon-mash-tun-339047/#post4218214 The original boil kettle has been sold.

SOLD: 15-Gallon Polarware Stainless Steel Heavy-Duty Pot with stainless steel lid. This pot has been set up as a Mash Tun, and includes the following: - Upgraded 1/2" FPT full-port stainless steel ball valve (The 1/2" valve that came with the kettle wasn't full port) - Blichmann BrewMometer...

evandena, no worries as well!! So, the initial "interested" list is cleared, and the mash tun is still for sale...$275 plus shipping (handling is free). Pictures are in my gallery at https://www.homebrewtalk.com/photo/albums/polarware-kettle-for-sale-6825.html

No worries... ;) ... and I can CERTAINLY understand the "finance department," as I have one too!! :)

Mobly99, OK, I'm back from the NHC, sobered up, and somehow the mash tun is now all shined up (SWMBO is sure good at scrubbing!!), and the photos have just been uploaded. I did some research (Quicken is good at shining a bright light on how this hobby has become an OBSESSION) and figured that...

You're now first in line... let me put up some pictures after I clean it this weekend. If you like what you see, let me know then. I won't sell it to anyone else until I hear from you.

Actually, that was the FIRST of the two kettles I had for sale, and I haven't removed it from Amazon yet - thanks for reminding me!! ;) Amazon won't let you add the extras - they'll only let you list the basic kettle & valve, so I decreased the price with that stuff removed. The FIRST kettle I...

Yup, you're now first in line... I just returned from the NHC, and was waiting until the weekend to get the kettle all shined up. My wife took a shot at it, and she's 95% of the way there. It looks GREAT!! The kettle comes with a stainless steel false bottom in perfect shape, a Blichmann...

THE POLARWARE KETTLE IS NOW SOLD!! But I'll have another one just like it for sale just as soon as I get back from the NHC (whoo whoo!!) and I can get a chance to clean it up - it used to be my insulated Mash Tun, and so it includes a copper B3 sparge ring and a false bottom, along with an...

I just had another thought... I'll be in Seattle this coming Wednesday, attending the National Homebrewer's Conference (NHC) through next Sunday. I'd be more than happy to box this up and bring it as part of my checked baggage, and then hand it over to whoever buys it for NO ADDITIONAL COST in...

Yeah, I'm shipping from Japan... HOWEVER!!! I'm with the military overseas (Navy in Japan), so while it may look like I'm mailing it internationally, I'm actually mailing it as if I were still in the lower 48. I'm serviced by the U.S. Postal Service here on base, and the box will never touch...
