    Converting Brutus from NG to Propane

    According to the installation instructions it's rated to 124,000 BTU using the 1/2" side inlets and 1/2 PSI. So shouldn't this be OK? My bigger concern would be getting a good flame at that BTU with my burners, but I guess I won't know until I try.

    Converting Brutus from NG to Propane

    Thinking what I'll do is get a hose & pressure regulator to connect to my propane tank and see how it burns with the current NG jets. Since I'm not sure what size they so I figure that I'll use them as my baseline and determine from there if they need to be drilled out or if I need to go...

    Converting Brutus from NG to Propane

    I''ve moved and no longer have easy access to natural gas, so I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to convert my rig over to propane. Here's what I've got now: gas beam to 1/2" pipe to white rodgers 764-742 pilot valves to a pneumission 1/2" 120V solenoid valve to a hurricane/banjo...

    Wort Chiller - B3 Superchiller

    I have a new in box WC30 Wort Chiller - B3 Superchiller. I changed my mind and am going with a plate chiller instead and it's too late to return it, so I'll sell it for $90, local preferred, but will ship it since it's still in the B3 box. PM if your interested. For more info on this...

    Stainless wall thickness for Brutus 10?

    LarMoeCur - I think it's more of the heat from the burners that causes the paint to flake off. Then there's also the issue of rust. You won't need to worry about either of those with Stainless. Bobby_M - you're probably right, plus I can get the polished .036 wall for $190 instead of $314...

    Stainless wall thickness for Brutus 10?

    It will actually be a little wider and longer than the plans in BYO to accommodate my 15 gal. kettle in additions two keggles. The dimensions I'm looking at are 17" x 55"

    Which LOVE controller/probe?

    Anyone else have any thoughts on this? It seems like most people are using the TS-13010 for brewing and the TS2-010 for keezers.

    Stainless wall thickness for Brutus 10?

    no, it's the mill finish, but 180 grit polished is not that much more. I still haven't decided on which one I'll go with, but I'm leaning towards the .120 wall for peace of mind since I've not found anyone who is currently running asystem built with .063.

    Which LOVE controller/probe?

    Has anyone here used a TS2 love controller for their brew system? If so which probe did you buy?

    Which LOVE controller/probe?

    I'm looking to order 2 LOVE controllers for my Brutus-10 from Dwyer. I'll be using the STC 2W160 valves and either the TS-13010 or TS2-010 controllers from Dwyer. Right now I'm leaning towards the TS2 because it will cost less even with buying a separate probe, but I don't know which...

    Stainless wall thickness for Brutus 10?

    IRC Alumminum & Stainless (www.ircalum.com) had the best price on the .120 wall. And C&L Metal Sales (www.clmetalsales.com) had the best price on the .063. Are you looking to buy some stainless too? If we go in together we may be able to get a better price for buying a larger total quantity.

    Stainless wall thickness for Brutus 10?

    I've been getting quotes on stainless from some local sources and have found some really good prices. $109 for 40' of 2 x 2 x .063 wall $314 for 40' of 2" x 2" x 11ga (.120) Everyone on here seems to have use the .120 wall. Has anyone used .063 (1/16") stainless to build their brutus? I'm...

    Another NW newbie

    Hi everyone. I'm new to homebrewtalk, but not to brewing. I've been brewing randomly for about the past 10 years, but I'm about to kick it up a notch. I'm getting ready to start a brutus 10 style system! I already have two kegs, a 15 gallon kettle and a welder... so I'll probably be spending...
