I really like this brewstand and I am thinking about making one just like it. Can you list all the parts that you used for you propane setup please. thank you.
Plate chiller...

This rig is absolutely beautiful. For an extract guy like myself, considering going to all grain, this is stupendous. Thanks for shearing the pics and your journey!
Are those intermittent pilots? If so, where did you decide to put the ignition modules? I am currently trying to sort this out in my own build (which borrows a lot from yours)
n2fooz said:The pilots are always on so no extra ignition modules. Basically before brewing I plan on lighting both pilots. After that, burner ignition will be handled by the Honeywell valves.
Ok thanks. I made my heat shields last night very much like yours, but they didn't come out looking quite as slick. Props, that was a PITA
Nice build! I must say that this build inspired me to build a single tier myself, and I used your cut list so I am building a clone. I have the stand built and painted and am now ready to get the burners. Where did you get the burners? I am looking at NB, 3 burners and a 30psi regulator/hose for around $160 which seems to be comparable to all that I have found.
Thought I would give you an update and show you my clone of your single tier. It's getting close, I just need to plumb up the burners. Eventually I will automate the MT and HLT but I want to get a few batches in manually first. Still need to get the pumps and finish up my keggles.

Here is a rendering of what I'm talking about. The standoffs will help protect against scratching the paint when moving the kettles around.
I aquired a single tier from a guy and it doesn't have these, actually alot of the threads I've looked at don't, and I was wondering how critical they are? I'm making mine automated soon and will be changing the gas plumbing to match yours...Love the 2" framing, unfortunately mine is 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 ish..
Great Thread
May need some gas line from OHG..
n2fooz: first off, beautiful build! You have inspired me to build my stand finally and I want to thank you for being so thorough and detailed. My question is, what kind of casters did you use? I want to make sure I get something that is heavy duty enough to support all the weight this will hold once in use. Thanks again!
This is an awesome build! thanks for posting everything here. I'm working on the plans for a system of my own and trying to source out parts. I see on the pic of your control panel you have an LED display (for temps) i'm assuming. What temp probes are using? Trying to find temp probes that will wire into an LED display on my control box. Also, what are you using to automate the gas flow on your MLT/HLT.
Looking forward to see how this looks when it it complete.
this is a great looking setup. one thing worth mentioning, you may want to rotate the pump head so the output is pointing UP instead of sideways. helps with removing air and priming the pumps.
