Update 2/22/10 Got some work done over the last few weeks. Picked up more of the parts we were still looking for. Saturday we mounted the control panel box, drilled and bolted the keg skirts to the tippy trays, bent the copper into the HERMs coil, mounted the burners to the burner boxes and...

Greenmonti - been enjoying the build - looking forward to seeing the final product. PS - :) clean out your PMs!

We're trying to find a way to go from the 3/8" Male Flare Banjo Orifice to a 90 elbow so we can connect our 1/2" flex gas connector. I've looked all over - does anything like this exist? All of the options I can find add several pieces together to go from the orifice to a 90. I've searched...

Do a search on here - numerous posts. John the owner of Stout Tanks is on here as well.

As wilserbrewer has pointed out - you'll need a way to maintain temperatures in your HLT. The main reason folks go with coolers is they keep the heat in longer, if you don't you usually need to add a burner for the HLT as well or setup some type of recirculation. I know you mentioned wanting...

Good to know - we'll look at the 80K drill then. And yes we did pick up the conversion for the furnace valve. So you don't think there would be any concerns around being able to get to the appropriate temps if we're around the 80K BTU (running low pressure)? If so we'll go that route, easier...

Ordered mine from Austin Home Brew, happy with it. $2.10 per foot.

I'd have to measure - but ours was the advertised 12" lid and the hole was just under 12" - and it fits snug on one of our kegs, the other two we cut just a tad bigger apparently as they are a little looser but still fit nicely.

Kevin - I guess it comes down to my confusion with the following. The banjo's we bought from NB are high pressure rated to 210k BTU - drilling these out I'm not sure what BTU we'd be getting at low pressure. Looking at this chart: http://www.joppaglass.com/burner/lowp_chrt.html I am wondering...

Amazon actually - they are a little thinner than we originally wanted but they will work just fine. Also have a 4 for 3 deal on Amazon so we got 4 lids for the price of 3 - in case we need a spare anytime. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000K18GCS/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

So gas plumbing experts - will this idea work? We're thinking of either 2 smaller (20 lb) tanks or a big 100lb tank to just make it easier. We are using banjo burners which come for high pressure but we can drill out to be low pressure and need to on our HLT because we're using a furnace...

Update 2/06/10 Been sick the past few weeks so no headway had been made. But today spent some time this morning working on things. Got the keg tops cut off, jig worked out awesome. Also drilled and tapped the under side of the frame to mount our burner boxes. This week we'll drill the burner...

For us we've got 10 total. Might pick up a few extra if we end up brewing more frequently with the new brewery this year. Haven't bottled in several years but scored 4 cases of 16oz flip top bottles for free from an old co-worker so might bottle a few batches from time to time.

Lonnie's build started a trend that's for sure. As you've already noted there are a lot of variations of a single tier brewery. Probably your best option is to take a step back and ask yourself a few questions - as those will guide future decisions on modifications. 1) Do you want to do a...

Just a note on those Q314A Pilot Burners - verify; but I ordered the separate LP orifice and turned out the Q314A I ordered comes with it (noted in the Honeywell instructions that come in the pilot burner kit and also noted on the envelope packaging it all came in). Saves you $10-15 with...

Posted photos in the first post - got home a little while ago after making a trip out to our welders. He had the stand ready to go and welded on the hinges while we waited. Bolted on the wheels and handle, loaded it up in the truck and headed home. Set the kegs on just for looks - we'll bolt...

Update 1/20/10 Updated build list with most recent parts, prices, etc. Picking up the brewstand tonight from the welder and will post photos.

So I guess I need to dig deeper in the forum to see what others have used who have a low pressure setup. I've not found many dual stages that are reasonable price (and again not sure it's needed) but came across this one on eBay that I might bid on...

I continue to do some research on this and am a little bit stumped. I'm not entirely sure how high my BTU rating needs to be on the regulator we select. In looking into the BG14 Banjo Burner's we bought from Northern Brewer - I believe they are the 210,000 BTU units - so if we drill them out...

We'll keep the pump priming thought in mind when we mount the pumps. As you'll notice from the drawing we've made our stand very "short" to accommodate easy viewing into the keggles - in turn there is only 14" between the cross beams - not sure we will have too much to worry about pressure wise...
