+27 gallon Tall Blonde 16,075

How big of a boil are you doing? I have a 60 gallon BK & MT but my HLT is only 20 gallons so I can't actually brew 2 barrels at once but We just did a 32 gallon boil this weekend with 2 - 5500 elements and had plenty of power to do more... I'm not sure if we had enough to do 60 gallons or not...

this looks close.

If you search you can probably find one of PJ's schematics that will be similar to what you are trying to do.

I believe you can set up the auto tune function using lower temp settings the pid just needs to figure out the amount of time it takes to ramp up temp. Try using your starting water temp 50ish and setting the pid to 80 and run the auto tune.

I use a 15.00 aquarium air bubbler attached to a long enough piece of stainless tubing to reach the bottom of my HLT to circulate it seems to work fine. My temp. increases are allot faster than with nothing in the HLT to keep the current moving around the coils.

If you already have 2 kegs and a cooler and you plan on heating the HLT & BK with gas then I would recommend just going with the kegs you have they will hold enough for 10 gallon batches. Think I would save my money for a pump and build the sparg arm and attachments. Half the fun is building...

Thanks, I sent them an email yesterday but sense it was Sunday didn't figure I would hear back from them until today some time if they haven't replied by the time I get home from work I'll give them a call.

Those struts should be Hydraulic rams that could be set up to dump the MT :)

It worked fine when I powered up the system, it read the temp from RTD I adjusted the RTD setting a few degrees. When I brought the temp setting up for it to begin heating it started flashing this code, the top section of the display reads 04CJ the bottom reads 808. I don't see this error...

Check out the closed system fermentation discussion. 1/4 barrel is probably a little small for brewing in but wouldn't be bad for fermenting 5-6 gallons in.

It needs a set of retractable steps run off of an air system...well doesn't need but it sure would be cool:D

Try cleaning under the O-rings on the lids and in the lip where the O-ring seals. Sometimes nastys hide there it only takes a little pice of grump to cause a leak. Pressure them back up and take a spray bottle with liquid soap and watter and spray all the conections and check again for leaks.

This may be a little :off: but has anyone had a burned flavor. Is it best to start the element after you have recirculated for a few minutes to get the smaller particles that may have gone threw the false bottom back on top of the grain bed?

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/installing-retaining-ring-sanke-keg-64128/ They come out fairly easy after you figure out what to do...but By putting in a snap ring all it takes is a pair of snap ring pliers to take apart or put back together no more messing around trying to pry out the...

Sweet set up complete with a makesift STriper Pole:D...awsome

I finally got rid of my regulators and igniter all together, and put the pilots on a needle valve..ya it sux to half to light them manually at the start of the brew but I just wasn't happy with the performance of the burners with the regulator in line..with the LP conversion installed.

Aren't those burners along way form the bottom of the pots?

Only if u want to die....
