I would build a second brew stand control box with these for my new brew stand.

Count me in. Thanks

I am very interested in the follow up article. I stared an automatic propane build this summer and ran into a stopping point when I realized I had not taken into account for the pilots. I now have to back track and see if the solenoids I purchased will work for my build since they have no pilot...

Looking good, I think I may make some changes to my initial plans. I had my burners initiating via the STC-1000/solenoid and was fine with this setup, however I like the idea of adding a switch that I can simple turn on the burner directly and bypass the STC-1000. I already had the switch in the...

This is awesome I am in the stage of building a similar system. I have been stuck on how to implement the control panel for a while and cant wait to see how you plane on doing it.

So I just want to say I love to look at good welds. I get very Jealous but still love to look. If you are feeling down about your welds just stop and watch one of my videos of my brew stand build and you will feel much, much, better...

May be too soon for them but that doesn't stop me from making my home brew edition. A RIOT RYE Love the rye beers.

Ferguson brewery is my local pub. Ferguson, MO. may have it's issue right now but I always know where I can find great beers and delicious food. Just one left turn from my home and straight down hill the whole way to my favorite brew pub. http://www.fergusonbrewing.com/ This place...

I was planning on placing the temperature probe in a T as shown in the pictures. The wires for the probe run into the back of the T and would be sealed in place with a compression fitting and an O ring. If I place this setup on the keg I would have to either add a quick connect or unscrew it...

Thanks Binsiff, think I am leaning towards the probe being connected to the pumps(less hassle with wires and connecting and disconnecting ). I may as well add a thermowell to the side of the keg to watch mash temps in the center of the mash. Appreciate your advise.

I have been trying to find the best place to add the temp probe for the STC-1000 to monitor temperature of HLT and Mash Tun. And to control the burner solenoids. I was thinking of locations and all have +'s and -'s just not sure which is best. I would get better temp readings up...

I am thinking of using an always on pilot. I have not got that far yet.

I have been building a new single tier brew stand and have decided to switch from 3 burners to a HERMS system. Now I have started adding a controller box and am a little stuck on where to place some stuff and what should be controlled. Here is a look at what I have so for. Sorry for all...

Added a copper coil to the HLT to eliminate the need for the middle burner. I know what your saying this is no longer a 500.00 build with nearly 25 feet of 1/2" flexible copper and all those attachments. Well you would be correct copper is not cheap unless you reuse an old...

Well I haven't posted any videos about how I made my welder yet but I started at this youtube video and the rest was history. This guy does a good job of walking through the basics but you may need to look around for more videos for details. Thanks

So, I have started a second stand for a friend and this time I think I am going to make a few changes. Most likely I am going to change to a RIMS system and forget the middle burner. Here are a few pictures from New Years Day. This is the welded stand from Bed Frames Here is a shoot...

I went ahead and bought the gas solenoids. AC 110V 1/2" N/C Solenoid Valve for Gas Water and Air INU 2 at $21.77 that brings the total to $501.42 So close to staying under $500.00 If only I could have found the cheap gas lines and bed frames before I started! Thanks

I found some good deals this weekend that could bring the cost of this down even more. The gas line I used for my burners cost me $96.00 for 4 gas lines but I could have purchased this instead. and it would have only been $78.00 not a huge savings but every bit counts. I would have only need...

Thanks sweetcell, I will keep that in mind when using the vinyl hose. May have to look into some silicon replacements. And yes I will be using the march pump on the wort end and the 12v just for hot water.

Here are a few pictures of where I am so far. And here are some videos I have of the build up to this point. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5YysQeKcY3Vp6mhZacqFduBSkRv4Mwe I hope to have this thing fully functional soon!
