yeaaaahhh... so about that whole "research" thing. I didn't do mine. well I feel sheepish. Thanks for the help getting me turned around and in the right direction. except for a couple of 304 stainless pieces; that was the last hang-up to the first brewday on my new stand! I'll get some more...

upon further inspection, the gas valve is for 3.5"WC and my regulator is standard 11" WC. so it looks like I do have too much pressure at the valves and it's locking up. as I look closer, perhaps I need the LP conversion spring kit but I thought the valve was already situated for LP... if the...

I think so... it's the same model as most folks on this thread have purchased. http://www.pexsupply.com/Honeywell-VR8200A2132-1-2-24-Vac-Standing-Pilot-Gas-Valve-11588000-p

yes, both pilot and thermocouple connected. pilot is functioning, but I have not verified that the thermocouple is functioning properly. how would I do that? and yes, the knob is set to 'on' :-)

I posted this is the 'automated brewing' subforum, but thought I'd post it here too since most of you have been using this exact model. I can't get any gas through the VR8200 furnace valve. below is my post from yesterday: --------------- I've got pilot lights on the HLT and MT no...

Just completing a brutus 10 clone (search 'brutus 10 with nice modifications' here for the model I shamelessly ripped off). I've got pilot lights on the HLT and MT no problem, but I can't get the honeywell solenoids to fire when given 24 vac. I've taken readings at all the right spots in my...

Here's my shameless copy of JLandin's design. We did it with as much metal on-hand as we could, and without welding shut the gas manifold (1" pipe) instead, but it's looking great! this is the view from the back. Yes, those are Seattle Seahawks colors! I'll post more pics and some specifics...

Wait... I'm over thinking it. The th return just goes back to the transformer.

And the other pins (2, 5) would be the negative, right? For instance, pid #14 goes to tr on the valve, and th goes to pins 2 and 5 on the toggle switch to complete the circuit? It's been more than a decade since circuits class in college.... And I'm struggling to remember how this all goes together.

I seem to remember reading at one time about a length limit on the PID senors; as in they won't work effectively if the cable is longer than 8'. Checked the manual and can't find any such information, but I know I read it somewhere. Does anyone know about that? My build uses a 15-pin dsub to...

the 85v figure comes from the PIDs I already have; they have a listed operating range of 85-240v if I'm reading it correctly. I had thought about getting a transformer for that, but at that point I think it's more trouble than a second cable to the box for 110vac.

Greetings. I'm shamelessly copying this design because it's phenomenal. jlandin did an amazing job thinking this project through, posting his progress and leaving plenty of breadcrumbs for the rest of us to follow. I want to do some different things with the control box. I have 2 pumps with...

That's been my m.o. Since moving to all grain, and I don't really know why other than I'm just a night person. No kids, and I know the wife likes it because she's in bed by ten anyway and I'm going to be up late no matter what. It's good private time, although I do have some problems holding my...

my carboy smells of homebrews past I wish the residue would not last I soak and brush and brush some more my face gets sprayed and my eyes are sore the cordless drill just sits and laughs mocking all my brush cleaning gaffs If only a carboy cleaner was at my disposal I would tell all my friends...

pretty sure I saw some at the homebrewstuff.com storefront two weeks ago. He just opened a physical store here - but I don't know how he splits his inventory between store and online. Might try there if you cancel elsewhere.

Gotta agree with berock. The majority of episodes are interesting, but I can't see $5 or $10 a month-worth in them. Looks like plenty of effort went into the green screen (it looks good), but as someone in the business of video production - there isn't much production effort other than that...
