List of PJ Electrical Diagrams

[OatStraw]

I've seen several posts that someone should make a thread with all of PJ's amazing diagrams. I don't know if this is all of them, but it should be a good start.

I've put a very basic description above each diagram, but it may not be accurate as I was trying to interpret what I was seeing in the diagram, and I'm not an electrician. If a description is wrong please let me know in a PM.

good work

 

[mrwizard0]

This would be asking a lot, but could you post a link to where you got each diagram?

And I agree, great work!

I think the links would be great so that we could see the discussion.
How long did it take you to gather all of these up?
Thanks for doing this.
No good deed goes unpunished.

Please do not 'dis' OatStraw

All of the diagrams will soon be lost to all.

Sorry, but these are the facts of the issue at hand.

I'm very old and at this time I'm not doing well. If (when) I go, so does my web site & all of the diagrams that I've made. Basic facts.

I've tried a few times over the past year or so to see if the diagrams could be sponsored on this host homebrewtalk... it appears that it's a no dice issue with them... I've tried a few times & I give up now. So sorry...

Save what you can... When I'm gone it's all gone.

I hope you all believe that I've tried my best to support this forum & community.

I really have...

Sorry.

Sh!t man. Sorry to here that P-J. You're appreciated by many here, including myself. :-(

P-J, really sorry to hear this. You diagrams have been invaluable in my project, as well as countless others found on HBT. I wish you many more years of health and prosperity. As we Russians say, "Na Zdorovye!" ("To Health!")

Speaking of the diagrams - can these be uploaded to one of the free image hostings (ImageShack, etc.) , so they remain for posterity?

 

[P-J]

Just to change the subject:

I just looked out the window & it is snowing like hell here right now!

Hey... This is Charlotte, NC

P-J,

We briefly discussed doing a diagram. I am so sorry to hear of your health challenges. Know this, and I hope it gives you solice, you have helped more than you will ever know on this forum. I personally, look forward to every post you make. I will pray for you and your health. Some may scoff at this, but you have been a great contributor to many of us! God Bless!

John

P-J,

It's rare for someone to take so much time and effort to create diagrams to fit so many people's personal needs. When I was looking into going electric, you were really the only one that was so eager to help. It's the main reason I became a premium member actually. This kind of content and help was not available anywhere else.

This thread will be super helpful to others.

Thank you and cheers!

 

[ColoHox]

Excellent thread. This will be sticky material. Many of us owe P-J big time for helping us plan and troubleshoot our systems.

 

[Ajgeo]

P-J,

You have helped many people more than you know. I don't often comment on this sub-forum, but I visit it frequently. I have a half dozen of your diagrams saved for reference. With help from your diagrams, I have been electric brewing 15 gallon batches for a year and a half. Electro-brewing is awesome and you are awesome. Thank you! I hope you feel better soon!

Remember: "You can't take something off the internet, that's like trying to take pee out of a swimming pool. Once it's in there, it's in there."

Thanks again & cheers!

 

[Marquez]

Hey P-J,

I am very sad to hear of your health status. I feel your input is very important and generous, and feel that you are a very good friend.

I've never met you, but through your posts I feel that I have.

What ever is happening I hope that you can post again and again for a long time to come. And that someday I can have a beer together with you.

 

[OatStraw]

Hey PJ I replied to your PM before i read your post. Sorry to hear about all that!

We should talk as I host and maintain several websites for companies and would love to preserve all of your great work on my servers.

Ajgeo I agree, but the directory that he has these images in is not published, so the only way is through direct links. All the direct links are in this website, and if his site expires these image links will no longer work. Archive.net is good but unreliable for forum history.

I will try to add links. I agree that would help. Compiling these took a long time, but not nearly as long or as much effort as the creator put into them.

 

[jeffmeh]

P-J, many thanks and all the best....

 

[mrwizard0]

The electric forum won't be the same without P-J. He was a huge help to my build, and I know I learned a lot from looking at all his other diagrams. I appreciate everything you've done and wish you the best health!!

 

[LandoLincoln]

P-J needs to be entry #1 in the HomeBrewTalk Hall of Fame. He's just been amazingly helpful to so many.

Yes, we definitely need to get all of his drawings on various web servers so they'll always be around and get all of the related threads to point to the places where the drawings can be referenced.

I'm very sorry to hear that you're not well, P-J. I hope you get better. This place will not be the same without you.

 

[BeerguyNC61]

Bummer to hear about your health PJ. Your contributions and attention to detail are amazing and spot on. It's hard to believe that HBT would not work with you on the issue of your drawings. Maybe TX would chime in here...........

Again thanks PJ!!

 

[BadNewsBrewery]

First - P-J hasn't gone anywhere and as far as I'm concerned, isn't any time soon, so stow the nonsense to that end.

Second - I agree that P-J has been the "Wizard of Oz" of homebrewing. Working behind the scenes, helpful beyond expectations, and never asking for anything in return. We're better as an electric brewing community because of him!

Goes without saying PJ is the man.

Last year I did a scrape on pj's diagrams so i had all the references in one spot which was just easier for my research and build etc.... It appears the index file is no longer in his web directory so this may not be totally current, but from what I have stashed....



the file names are useful

and you could always do something like this if so inclined....



Or i'm happy to put them someplace more easily accessed with a directory if PJ doesn't care.

just saying... lol

This is precisely why I changed my web site to a more secure version. Now it looks like I'll have to change my site again.

I object to your publication of all my image files. That is just plainly wrong.

 

[mateomtb]

OK i took down any urls that link to all the images that you have published the same urls for all over this site.

If you have put them on the internet ANYWHERE they can be easily found. I thought you put them up here for people to use? Why is it so bad to get the same diagrams all in one place?

If you want them secure, then completely take them offline. That is the only way.

You are a funny dude.

 

[Im_Lars]

P-J Thank you for the hard work and time you have put in on bettering the electric brew community. You and I haven't had the opportunity to communicate in this forum. But after spending many hours looking over your drawing, you have made me more comfortable building my control panel. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Has far as what just happened, I think he had the best of intentions but may have step over a line. I hope someone with you can come up with a good idea on how your work can be saved for the good of the brewing community.

So sorry. But that is not what I was saying. I do not have any problems with a listing of the drawings or brewing related info. None what so ever. The list you referenced included all of the images and data files on my site. The extra non brew related images and data files are the things I have a problem with.

You certainly can provide the info on the brew related items. No problem with that at all.

Again. So Sorry. I did NOT mean to be harsh with you. Mea Maxima Culpa...

[inhousebrew]

Well, I was one of those people at one point that said this should be done. I just brewed my third batch on a a eBIAB setup very similar to a PJ diagram.

 

[Handsaw]

P-J, Thank you so much for doing these diagrams for us. I found one that exactly suits my needs. How do we go about downloading the diagrams from your web site? I have printed out the one that I'm going to use, but it would be nice to be able to go back to the source after you are gone (which I hope is not as soon as you make it sound). Just how old are you anyway and what is dragging you down? My mother-in-law is 107 so that is what I consider old. In her case everything is wearing out at once pretty much like the "Wonderful One Horse Shay."

 

[kevreh]

P-J;

Hope you feel better. Planning my electric brewery now, these diagrams are invaluable to me. If it helps for ease of back-up and distribution, I can put all these in a single PDF file. That way you have one indexed file versus a number of seperate image files.

Regards,
Kevin
