sorry...just realized you already answered your own question!

if you are using the newer ACME connectors they have build in safety valves to prevent a leak but if you don't have enough resistance than it looks like an open line and it shuts the valve. common issue with gas beams to share gas with multiple devices. you can fix by moving to old POL...

kinda hard to read. it's the bottom of page 3. the are the "sw4" switches from auber. http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_32&products_id=241

11 gallon single vessel electric Brew in a Bag (eBIAB) build is complete so I documented what I did and posted it up on my blog. Hopefully someone finds it useful :) Any thoughts on how to improve the system or the documentation is definitely welcome...

the pilot ended up being one of the most difficult parts of my recent automated HLT build. I used the same pilot as Kladue. with high pressure propane and a needle valve it worked but not very reliable. with low pressure propane through a honeywell it works awesome. a little hard to get lit...

thanks for sharing. never seen a counterflow setup like that or an on demand heater used. definitely has sparked some new ideas. seems similar to an electric rims in concept. any reason you went gas vs electric?

you can tell if it's the tubing causing the foam by moving the pressure down (maybe 3 psi) and see if it is still super foamy. i have had to deal with foam issues recently and literally changed every piece of my set up till i figured out i had a dip tube with a crappy weld that was...

i use these with the deluxe cable. no soldering required. work awesome with excellent accuracy to 0.1 degree. these are for npt. http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20_15&products_id=246 brewers hardware has good stuff as well that can go down thermowell or...

you can just use one of the cheaper auber or love controllers and turn off the controller functionality. I use this one: http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=14

here is my controller write-up with diagram. electrical is at the bottom. http://www.hommelhomebrew.com/1/post/2014/02/automated-hlt.html

well, the o-ring i mentioned in the last reply that is inside the body where the adjuster arm goes in is not a Dash 013 - that is about the right ID but not thick / wide enough. I remeasured it and I get .4 inch ID, .6 inch OD and .1 inch width. this does not appear fit any of the standard...

i got my o-ring order in and most everything works but found two problems. 1) the square orings I ordered don't fit quite right. turns out the "coupling gasket" ie D is not really square but it is more wide that it is deep. i have been unable to find the right part at mcmaster carr or...

good catch. just updated it.

I had a hard time getting all the o-ring sizes for my Perlick 545 faucets so I measured all of them using digital calipers and ordered 100 packs from mcmaster carr. Full write-up here: http://www.hommelhomebrew.com/1/post/2014/03/perlick-545-rebuild.html Here is what i ended up ordering...

I recently finished building an automated HLT setup and wanted to share. Full writeup including overview video of it in operation and details on strut based stand, gas and electrical system is here: http://www.hommelhomebrew.com/1/post/2014/02/automated-hlt.html overview pic:

I've had similar experiences with Low Pressure - works well but BTUs are considerably lower even when really focused on optimizing it. I wrote up my automated strut based HLT build here which includes info on stand, gas and electronics build...
