Just did an initial water test and tuned the "PIDs" last night. A Kal clone with a 30A panel using Strange Brew Elsinore on a Raspberry Pi in place of the usual PID controllers. We will be adding a relay to allow the RaspPi to switch the pumps on and off via the web interface as well. Pretty fun brewing using your iPad!

Looks great!

Willing to be the answer will be, that he used manufactured sizes and needed the fitting to connect the 2 nipples.
 
Swapped the casters for 4 inch ones. Rebuilt the gas system and added 2 banjo burners. Added control panel with BrewPi Spark on board and a Honeywell Smart Valve. With a new coat of paint it's come a long ways... do you ever stop working on your stand?

Behold the BODINENSTEIN!

Jethro Bodine was into homebrewing and needed a cheap gravity-fed BIAB stand, so this is what he came up with. After moving to Beverly Hills, he realized he needed an all-copper counterflow wort chiller, so he got Uncle Jed to buy him a $200 Chillzilla and mounted it on an old board.

I won mine in the The HomeBrewTalk 2015 Big Giveaway, but I did mount it on an old board.

For real...that VW is real nice. Oh...and nice looking set up. :D


Off topic warning - +1, on the bug, I love old VW's. I had a '65 bus when I started brewing (hence the Microbus name) and my first car was a '57 Ghia with an 1835cc engine and dual Dellortos...probably the only car I wish I never sold.
