Rustbucket, did you ever finish this mill? If so, do you have some drawings or the like which I could get, as I'm going to build my own mill. I already have the rollers and have access to a machine shop. TC

This is helpful, but I'm hoping somebody has a more detailed set of drawings, etc. I guess my biggest question is how best to design the housing in order to get infinite adjustments for the gap setting. TC

I've been searching for plans for a grain mill build (I searched the forum but haven't found what I'm looking for). I have two rollers and now have access to a full machine shop. So, I want to build the housing with adjustable gap setting for the rollers. Does anybody have CAD or similar...

I'm interested in two glasses if you're willing to ship: 49506. Thanks, Todd

Aaron, I didn't get the pics. Here's my email again, just in case: [email protected]. Thanks, Todd

Aaron, Shoot me an email: [email protected]. I have a nephew who lives in Des Moines, so local pick up would be possible for me. Thanks, Todd

PM sent on the wet-end assemblies.

You can use one PID to run two elements, just not at the same time. So, you can toggle between the two manually. When it comes time to boil, I'll just switch the PID over to the BK element and manually control the amount of power sent to the element (to control the boil). The PID needs a...

Nice job! I'm close to finishing my sytem: single tier, three kegs, two 5500 elements, one PID, and two pumps. I'm getting ready to mount my probe for the PID. Where did you mount yours?

Okay, got a 1.25" punch from work. Finished up the existing 1" hole and put a new 1.25" hole in another keg. All is well! Thanks everybody for the help.

Okay, all these comments are helpful. I'll go with "a fresh bit, cutting oil, and proper technique" and give it another go. I may try and grind some of the hardened steel away and see if some "fresh" steel may help things along. I'm just over an inch with the hole, but need 1 1/4" - almost...

This is helpful. But just so I'm clear: once the steel is hardened, a bit won't cut, right? Also, your comments suggest that a grinding wheel (something that would fit a Dremel) will take away the steel, which means I could potentially either (1) burr away the hardened metal and try the bit...

Okay, so I used a Harbor Freight step bit to get a 1 1/4" hole in my keg for an element. I can't get the hole bigger than 1" and the bit started burning the stainless, even with plenty of lubricant (WD-40). So, is there any way other than a punch to get the hole bigger? I was ready to buy...

Okay, so I used a Harbor Freight step bit to get a 1 1/4" hole in my keg for an element. I can't get the hole bigger than 1" and the bit started burning the stainless, even with plenty of lubricant. So, based on Bobby's comment above, is there any way other than a punch to get the hole bigger...

Walter, you're awesome!

I'm trying to identify a March pump that I have. From everything I can tell, it looks like an 809 model. I have an 809 model for high temps, food grade, etc., and it looks almost identical. I did a search online but didn't come with anything definitive. I've included several photos. Any...

Hi all, I'm wondering if somebody (especially Walter from March pumps) is able to identify the March pump I have - see photos. It looks exactly like a March 809 that I have, but it's not clearly marked as such. Is there a way I can determine which model it is? Thanks, Todd

Kevin, I may have one of those. I'll take a look and shoot you a few photos. Todd

Thanks for this. And, agreed that Bobby is probably the best source

Thanks! I've been in contact with Bobby M, and he's been very helpful. I've been looking around in order to save some $$, but Bobby seems to be THE source!
