    3 vessel system design help

    I got my 815 March pump (not the stainless) so I will be playing around with that on my next brew. I was wondering if the only reason to use a keggle mash tun is to perform step mashes and aesthetics. Im wondering if I would be better mashing in a cooler if all I plan on doing is single...

    Man you could hard plumb a gas manifold with needle valves and mount it right to the front, then you would only need one regulator. How high are the tops of your kettles on those burners?

    Stepping up my game. Going to Keggles. My setup so far.

    I just ordered a march pump but have yet to use it so I've been reading about how to use it effectively. Let me know if changing orientation helps! One other thing...do you have valves on the output side? I think to prime you open all downstream valves and then open your supply valve. This...

    Dave good call But his design is only like this temporarily when he rotates it the columns will be properly supporting the beams, nice catch tho

    Hey herc Do you have problems getting your pumps to prime ever? It looks like you have the pump oriented so the output is down, I thought I had read that the output should go up as its easier for the pump to clear the air in the lines. Nice build though, that controller looks awesome.

    120V Boil Kettle/HERMS

    I'm looking to do something similar. I think I may buck up and put in the GFCI spa panel so I can go 240. I do like the convenience of 120 though. I'll be following this as I design mine.

    3 vessel system design help

    nice cad Dog.i have never seen it configured with the high vessel in the middle. Is that an HLT? Looks like 3 burners so I assume you are direct firing the mash. I was trying to avoid this but may have to do it at least for a while. So does the upper tier just nest into the lower angle iron...

    3 vessel system design help

    Flomaster have you seen giftys weldless strut build thread? You can build brutus clone for around 80$ in strut + additional fittings. I am probably going this route when I finally choose my vessel config. Now I'm actually considering an electrified herms HLT....the main reason being I priced a...

    My Weldless Build Using Strut

    Anyway I found the galv strut at home deeps for $16 a length along with the strut nuts ($1 each)and bolts. Do you use the nuts with the integral springs? They also had the two hole and four hole L-brackets and pipe clamps up to 3". I'm thinking I could make this work but I really like the...

    My Weldless Build Using Strut

    Yeah exactly drip edge, thru wall flashing, we use lots of different materials depending on the design. Mostly 20 - 24 gauge stuff so it can be bent with a brake. Stainless is such a pain to work with we usually farm out the fabrication but I have piles of scrap material that could be used for...

    My Weldless Build Using Strut

    So I'm in process of moving to a new house with NG so I envision a build in my near future. i will be utilizing the PliovVac/QD system ala Gifty. Has anyone tried incorporating one of those retractable air hose reels to store the hose while in use? Also is there a consensus metal To use for...
