I like 2 and 2 also

Sweet!!!!

I have an Auber PID and had some questions about the hook up. I called them and got answers pretty quick. They also answered my emails in minutes (on the weekend). They had a new manual that didn't ship with my order. They emailed me the new one once we determined I didn't have the...

Well I brewed my first batch on Sunday after doing some tests and a dry run. Everything seemed to run much easier and smoother than my cooler and 7.5 gallon stainless pot on one burner. One thing though, I think the thermocouples or the PIDs got off synch. I'm not sure if it was that or the...

Thanks. It's a 12x12 PVC box I found at Lowes for about $30.

Mostly the sagging occurred on the front and back sides (mostly the back) where the banjo burner was located. It would get glowing red. I think a heat shield may have helped but I didn't want to chance ten gallons of boiling wort collapsing on me. Could make for a bad combination; boil...

Notice you don't see the right side of the garage. Thanks

They had some issues. Evidently, they were part of their initial test lot that were not suppose to go out to the public so they replaced the motors with actual March 809's. I think they've got some new ones in now. I'd give them another try. The guys at Tri-State Pump have been really good...

Okay, so I started my stand build with a cross between the Brutus and the “wallace” slotted angle stand. However, while testing the burners (one banjo and two six inch) I became a little concerned with the stand’s durability. The slotted angle didn't seem strong enough and it would droop and...

Thanks SweetS. The volts are listed on both the pumps and the valves but I couldn't find the amps listed anywhere. The PID documentation tells what fuses to use. I don't have the docs infront of me right now so I can't quote what amp but they do say use a slow burning. Although, I did...

No offense taken. I have very little experience with electical wiring. Trust me, I won't even cut a wire, or attempt to put power to anything until I at least half way know what I am doing and why. That's why I'm asking questions.

What type of fuse block of fuse holders should I look at? In line, single, block? What amp volts?

Thanks for the response guys. Hopefully, I'll have time to work on this some tonight. Not too much more left to do to get brewing on the new system.

I have two auber syl-2342 PID controllers, two chugger pumps from usa pumps (same as March 809, got two stainless for $250 here ) and two STC 2w160 solenoid valves. Here is a drawing of how I believe I should wire everything into a control panel. I'm not an electrician, or artist, but this...

Thanks for the reply Kladue. I have been reading other threads related to this same issue. I am going to be using propane and I am going to take your advise about drilling the jet fitting on the banjo burner. I assume you mean to drill the end that screws into the burner. This would give me...

I wonder if the banjo could be converted to use low pressure. If the banjo could be setup as a low pressure then I would just need a way to adjust the burner. It would only be bringing the wort from around 150 to boil. It's a 100K BTU burner. I don't think that all three would ever need to...

The total cost from Lowes for the perforated angle, bolts, washers, nuts, braces, casters and paint was like $230.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking about the pilot.

last two for now

Okay, so I’ve been brewing for about two years and finally decided to build a brew stand. I came up with a design that kind of combine’s pieces from other builds that I’ve seen online. I don’t possess the welding or metal working skills and farming the stand build out wouldn’t fit in my...
