So an Outy setting of 3 is what I want for On/Off. I will give that a shot tonight.

I have not. Per a recommendation in another thread I am using 16 gauge starnded copper wire. The wiring is exactly like Collinbrew linked earlier in this thread.

That is correct, just your basic Brutus 10 (if a Brutus 10 can be basic).

Is keggle slipping off really a big risk? Once the keggles are loaded with grain/water they are going to be really heavy and add to the downward force on the stand. On my turkey fryer used for extract brewing I never had an issue with my pot sliding on the stand.

All info was gained from HBT. I attempted to read a few threads on dedicated welding message boards, but the info was either way over my head or the welding method was more advanced than Flux Core Wire (MIG or TIG). At the end of the day the best advice I can give is set the wire feed speed...

I live in a townhome so there are only so many places they can go. There really is no risk of a car running into the units. However, they are very annoying while working in the garage in the summer. More comments on my garage and it's contents than the brewstand! Would you all like for me...

Saddly this is the most use my NRS straps have gotten in quite a while. I am thinking of naming the brewery River Right Brewing though.

I used this enclosure. Just the right size for all I put in the box. http://www.ebay.com/itm/130305272464?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Now for my first question! I figure with all these pretty photos everyone will be chomping at the bit to answer! I am having trouble with my PID and I think it was to do with the settings. I am getting readings of the air temp on my RTDs and when changing the SV to be below the PV the burner...

I have been brewing for about a year now and shortly after getting my first Cooper's Kit I stumbled upon Homebrewtalk and the inspiring DIY forum. So needless to say it wasn't long until I had set my eyes on Lonnie Mac's original Brutus 10 and said "I am gonna build that" without having the...

Well, I am going to give the On/Off mode a shot tonight in hopes that is what needs to be done.

Thanks for referencing the manual for the PID. I have reviewed it and am not sure which settings I should program to. I have seen a lot discussion recommending use of the On/Off mode (step 7). Is this the mode I want to use and would running it in the default settings result in the issues I...

Any ideas here? Again, this side of the switch includes the output from pin 14 on the auber and a run to the valve. It seems that there is a setting on the PID I am missing, becuase the PID never appears to be telling the valve to close.

Thanks for the warnings. I now understand that the GFCI outlet is really just down stream from the 120 volt input in order to provide GFCI protection. I had always assumed that is where the power came into the system. So at the end of the day the system will just have two receptacles...

I have wired up the selector switches as you instructed and the burner fires on both the manual and auto controlled sides regardless of temp on the PID (SV below the actual value). On the auto side the switch has an input from pin 14 on the PID and the other side is run directly to the valve...

Now we are in business! I wired the extension cord coming from the wall directly to the rear of my GFCI receptacle and my system power switch is also wired to that receptacle. I was able to test that my system power switch works and my pump switches work, now to the valves...

Maybe I am misinterpreting. Is a male ended outlet run off the GFCI so that a traditional ended extension cord can be used to provided power and still have GFCI protection in the system?

Looking at the panel linked above you can see that his control panel includes a traditional female GFCI outlet mounted to the panel. As I understand this outlet serves as the method of inputting power to his system. With the dual male extension cord I have, I will take care to plug into the...

It is pretty much what Collinsbrew did here - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/finally-wooden-single-tier-underway-289595/index8.html#post3982251

It is a bad idea? HD does not carry dual male ended cords. What is the difference here and creating cord with female plugs for my pumps to plug into?
