Rodi to be installed... Water softener for the rig.My tig gloves after 3 months of use, bought the same pair again. Tune in next time the kettles should be finished pretty quick and I should be onto to pipe-work. Thanks everybody.

The lids have a flat bottom, so this part similar to the one used for the kettle side-ports was made. View with fitting in place ...With top cap... gas inlet side In position on the lid... 3 of the 4 welded in... These were welded on both sides and this is the backside ground down post-weld.

Herms 1" ports have a flange inside and out. So I had to weld the inside in first, using this other thingamajig i made. Picture of second one being installed... Sanitary weld between the two fitting. Weld ground down before polishing. Top and bottom herms ports completed. Inside view of...

Installing some fittings. Swiss cheese inside shot after drilling. My little assembly holding the fitting in place.Post weld pre-brushing. 80 amps with pedal (probably around 50 amps), .045 308 filler, 1/16 2% thoriated tungsten, gas lense, ck9 torch. Gotta watch those fish-eyes. Post clean...

I'm using 2 x 5500 watt ripples. They need to be side by side and i didn't want to stack them, eating my volume up. That means they need to be parallel. The holes had to be drilled at an angle, and the fittings installed parallel to each other, not perpendicular to the keg. This was...

Ok so after starting this project I realized my HLT is too small. I wanted to be able to strike at least 10 gallons and still have enough water in the HLT from the pre-boil left over to sparge, and to run the herms, without having to refill the HLT and do another pre-boil. I also have about 5g...

Like I said, there are a lot of fittings to do. This is one of my glacier tanks orders. There are more. The purge box was complete, but something had to be made to keep the fittings in place, gas flowing through them, and aligning them 90 degrees to the kegs. Was inspired by a tig torch gas...

It wasn't going to be practical to build a gas-damn for every 1.5" tc fitting that needed welding, and since I have 30-40 fittings to weld, a solution was needed. This is a back-purge box I built. It contours to the inside radius of the keg. This part is non-sanitary so i solar fluxed it...

Play time was over. Took a few weeks to get comfortable with TIG. Prepping the kegs involved grinding and applying acetone to the weld surface. Argon gas dam construction near the top of the coupling as high as i could get it. Argon is expensive as I've learned. Argon gas input tube. It...

You bet. I have it pretty down at this point. Prep work is 90% of the effort. Good fit up, clean surfaces, selecting correct amperage, proper back purge is 90-95% of the work. About to make some uploads.

Really nice man. Interface looking way cooler. Do you happen to remember the ID of the tangential inlet pipes on the kettles? Are they .75" or 0.5" inlets?

Hey thanks for the advice. I have not tested them yet. They are the DS100s. I spoke to micromotion about them. And likely at the flows I will be using their accuracy will be off by 10%. I do wish in retrospect I purchased the 50s as these are pretty huge but I got a good price and they are...

no, but I answered a similar questions in the die_beerery thread a few months ago... "I ordered them to specification in china using alibaba. Specifically, Company: Shaanxi Qijia Automation Technology Co.,Ltd. The specs are: Model: CAP-WS Pressure Sensor Accuracy 0.2% Pressure Type: Gauge (G)...

Thanks! I didn't even think a bout getting the false bottom in yet. That's a good point.

Lol thanks. It is, I really like it.

Rosemount 1056 PH / modular control meter and Analog output interface to the MEGA. Testing the Ph probes. Bought 2 of these. Both have PH and DO boards in them. If you buy a used 1056 off ebay, make sure it comes with the correct boards. You can't find spare board used, and they are 550 new...

2 x Micro Motion Mass Flow Meters fro measuring SG of the mash and BK in real time.Same one, on table. They are in great shape, that rusty stuff is only on the sticker. They are made out of hastelloy. Flange connection turned out to be a pain. These flanges need to be linked up with a...

2 x Arduino MEGA with wire and Ethernet shields for BruControl Interface. I had 2 DIN rail mounts for the Mega's 3d printed. Work nice. Top view side view Some stuff piling up. 3 x Broadly Jams Oxyprobe DO sensors. 2 x Broadly James PH high temp probes, some misc parts, 2 x HIM digital to...

I theory yes. For practical purposes if you were making a frame I would still use MIG. It's much faster for that kind of structural work. If you need really nice looking welds then yes you could do everything with tig it would just take longer. MIG was easier to learn the basics of puddle...

Ordered 3 x 10" Tri-Clover caps, clamps, and weld fittings from china. Each component alone from US re-sellers was >70 dollars, which would have cost $6-700. I ordered them from china for about 20$ a part. Shipping was very expensive (>200 usd) as 3 of these weighed 45kg. With shipping, I...
