that pump says it only 10 psi on Harbor Freight

any more current pump recommendations please!?

:rockin:

Here's what I'm Rockin

I guess I could drill a 1.25" hole in the flat bar so that I could plug the round bar into it. I could see that making it stronger, but I wonder if it is necessary. I would rather not have to drill that size of a hole, in stainless steel, if I don't have too. Anyone know anything about weld...

thanks for the advise. If the flat bar does bow up, how would you go about flatening it? I was going to weld the flat bar to the barrel first, then the round bar to the flat bar. but maybe I will change my plan as to your advise. Thanks

I am using my Miller Maxstar 150sl. I don't plan on bending the flat bar. I am going to try to bridge the small gap between the flat bar and the barrel (caused by the curve in the barrel) with stainless filler rod. any idea of an amp range? also what amp range should I use when welding the...

yeah I am going to stick with my plan as I have already invested in the stainless steel parts. I have been doing a bunch of practicing. Are there any experienced TIG welders who could give me amp setting recommendations for both welds?

Thanks Cabby. Unfortunately I don't have any stainless steel scrap. Any ideas on how many amps? A TIG chart I found says only 20 amps for the .9 mm barrel. I kind of doubt that would be enough for the .25" flat stainless bar though. I like the idea of just laying the filler wire in the gap...

I got the idea from wadefisher's original build but I just expanded it to all three barrels. I think it should hold without have to build a cage. I got the barrels from bubba's barrels. here's wadefishers build that I refered to...

Hi HBT! I am working on my 55 gallon barrel, single tier, brew system that will have a triple tippy dump setup for easy cleaning. I was hoping to get some tips and advise for TIG welding the supports on the barrels. I am worried about the weld not being strong enough to hold the weight ( I...

Hi. Thanks for the reply. My pump is a March 809. I wonder if I should upgrade to a better pump of if I will be able to get my with the 809. I have two of them, but one will the for the HLT to the Mash. And the other will pump from the mash to the boiler. As far as the Tri clover goes, I...

I want to ask advice on the size of the valves for my new big brewing rig. I am using three 55 gallon stainless steel drums and I am wondering if I should weld in 1" couplers instead of 1/2". I currently have a all 1/2" couplers on my keggle setup. I also own two march pumps. If I use the 1"...

That would be great. If you could give the dimensions too if you have them I would be very grateful!

Hi. Just read though the whole thread and I have to say, way to go! I was wondering how you liked your tippy dump setup for your 55 gallon mash tun. I liked your design and plan to do something similar. could you perhaps post a few more pics of it. Did you like how it worked? Thanks much

Hey Sparky, where did you wind up buying this?

well Haven't been on HBT in a while! I determined that I have 200 amp service. I still am trying to decide between using a 60amp line to power my two 5500 Watt elements at once or if I should divide it into two 30 amp lines. Any advise? is there another thread that shows anyone else...

Hi. Is there a way we can get the pictures linked backed up? I'm interested in seeing this build. Thanks :mug:

I am working on a build that has very similar goals to this set up so I just subscribed to it and hope to contribute to it more soon. I have two rigs in the works, one will be a 3 keggle set up, and the other will be a three 55 gallon drums set up. I want to be able to control both rigs...

How do I determine how many amp service I have?
