I'm all electric now, but I really like the idea of not having my mash recirculating through a coil or rims tube. Also I'm building a brewtree and don't want to incorporate my herms into it. Here's my herms now https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/herms-coil-iced-tea-pot-334090/ which has worked well.
Here's my shopping list:
1. HONEYWELL VR8200A2132 GAS VALVE
2. HONEYWELL Q314A3547 PILOT BURNER
3. HONEYWELL Q390A1046 thermocoupler
4. Low pressure burner from agrisupply http://www.agrisupply.com/Burner-Cast-Low-Pressure-Multi-Hole-Btu-Dia/p/40282/&sid=&eid=/
5. LP regulator http://www.agrisupply.com/Lp-Gas-Adjustable-Regulator---Hose-Assy-Hose/p/41678/&sid=&eid=/
6. 1/4 o.d. copper from hardware store for pilot
7. whatever copper or pipe or hose to get from regulator to gas valve
8. carbonmonoxide detector
9. transformer http://www.patriot-supply.com/products/showitem.cfm/ROBERTSHAW_620_403 or http://www.powerstream.com/ac-2405.htm I have a outlet wired into my ssr/pid so the second option would work bet for me.
Few questions:
1. Not familiar with how to adapt the regulator end to pipe. Are regulator and burner ends npt? Is the regulator I listed proper for this use? I know it has to be low pressure.
2. Is there a particular way to use a pid? I have ssr setup on a pid already and a inline thermo which could read the wort temp as it leaves or enters the mash tun
3. Is a needle valve on the pilot necessary? I'll be brewing in my basement so no wind.
