_______________ ************* PLEASE READ!! _______________ ************* Hopefully that got your attention. ;-) I get a TON of messages from HBT users about my Brutus 10. I try to reply to all of them, but I have a couple of suggestions to people reading my build thread... 1) Please don't...

I bought mine from here and they are flare fittings. -- Josh

Yes, the regulator connects to the tank and has a hose which connects to the stand (on the gas manifold). -- Josh

Thanks Bryan! See this post for dimensions. -- Josh

Here's an in-use video of the entire brew day summed up in 8 mins. This was the 8th batch on the system. I'll be brewing the 14th batch on it this weekend. -- Josh

I fired the burners with the kegs on top (fill with water), and I used an infrared thermometer to keep an eye on the hottest parts of the frame. From there, just follow the heating instructions on the can of paint. I don't recall the procedure exactly, but it was a series of heat up and cool...

The frame itself without the casters is: 60 (length) x 20 (depth) x 30 (height) -- Josh

I'm sorry I don't know what the "At" parameter is that you mentioned. I do have OutY set to 4 which uses J2 as On/off control relay contactor output. I have the Hysteresis set for 2 degrees. The auto-tune feature is interesting, now that I look at it, but I can see your concern with...

This is a very cool idea. I can't wait to see pictures if you pull this off. Storage was a big concern for me when I built my Brutus 10 (linked in my signature). I designed it so that the keggles are stored inside of the stand, and the whole stand fits under my workbench in the garage...

Yep. -- Josh

The paint has held up great. No complaints at all. -- Josh

Sorry for the late reply Scott. Kettle Mash tun (without the thermometer installed) -- Josh

Hmm... they should be calibrated already. Are you sure your RTD connections are ok? The instruction manual is here: http://auberins.com/images/Manual/SYL-2362%20instruction%201.6.pdf -- Josh

Those I got from a local electronics store. You can get them online at Jameco, and other places. Female connectors like this one are nice for your output to the pumps (since those are live): http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_1954640_-1?CID=PDF Mine are...

The threaded SS tee is welded to the keggle. Then the thermometer just screws into the end of the tee, with its thermowell extending through the tee into the vessel. Check out the first page of posts in this thread for some reference pictures. -- Josh

FYI, in your sketchup the angle iron on the top is flipped from what mine is. That is, your keggles will sit "down in" the space when in-use, whereas mine sit on the top surface. Either will work, but you will need to compensate for that in the overall height, as you are losing 1.5 inches in...

Thanks Scott. Here are the http://www.mcmaster.com parts I used for the sight glasses: McMasterCarr# 9176T12 DURABLE CLEAR POLYCARBONATE TUBING, 1/4" ID, 3/8" OD, 1/16" WALL THICKNESS, 2'L $2.27 McMasterCarr# 5182K126 TYPE 316 SS YOR-LOK TUBE FITTING, ADAPTER FOR 3/8" TUBE OD X 1/2"...

Here's a time-lapse video of a full brew day on this system reduced down to 8 minutes: -- Josh
