    Faucet wont pour but poppet dispenses when pushed?

    Are you sure you're getting the quick connect all the way on? Are you sure you don't have your gas and liquid posts reversed on your keg (i.e. gas post on the dip tube and liquid post on your gas in). The liquid disconnect won't fit properly on a gas post.

    Want to build an automated HLT: advise?

    As a former automation engineer, I highly recommend some redundancies, failsafes. I can see a solenoid or sensor failing an your garage flooding. I would include a maximum fill time. I would also use dual solenoids and perhaps a flood sensor.

    Mash temp reached 180+ F for 10 minutes, How bad will this be for my beer?

    What I was saying is that with your mash at 180+, you essentially mashed out at the beginning of your mash, thereby denaturing the enzymes (or at least a good portion of them). If you added some additional amalyze enzyme, that should help. Curious to see how things turn out. Good luck!

    2.5 gallon keg

    Guessing the coating you are seeing is not an actual coating, but electropolishing.

    Mash temp reached 180+ F for 10 minutes, How bad will this be for my beer?

    Guessing you mashed out for 10 minutes at the start and denatured the enzymes. Doubt you will get much conversion even at the lower temperature.

    Which pump to get? (March, LG, Chugger)

    Not loving the info about Chugger pumps cutting out on thermal overload. I've got two sitting in the box that I picked up in the March madness sale. Getting close to finishing my stand so here's hoping my pumps don't have this issue.

    Renting a Welder

    "under powered make believe welding machine"? Ha! Good one. Well, my under powered make believe HF flux core welder is doing just fine on my stand. If I had to spend $400-600 on a welder to build a stand and be considered a "big boy", I wouldn't have a stand. Instead, I spent $89 and...

    anyone ever make there own grain mill?

    As I mentioned, I did have side plates, they just weren't shown in that view (removed for clarity). I have mine mounted to 1/2" MDF. No flexing whatsoever. Called it good.

    anyone ever make there own grain mill?

    Ok, so it appears that I lost the original CAD model which is unfortunate since I had it modeled in 3D. I do have some PDF exports that I sent to my BIL who was helping me machine it. The rolls are 1-1/2" diameter and the shaft is 3/8". The shafts at the ends of the rollers run in bronze...

    anyone ever make there own grain mill?

    I drew one up in CAD a few years back and had my BIL help me machine the parts. It has eccentrics to adjust the gap. If you're interested, I'll see if I can find my plans.
