Here's some new pics of the stand. I have the powder coating done now. The BCS is mounted to the garage wall and is also used to control the temp for my serving fridges (2 kegerators) and my fermentor fridge (3rd kegerator). There are 3 CAT-5 data jacks on the back of the rig that are plugged into t...

I seem to remember reading about using a 220V breaker with a big cap across the lugs to filter both sides of the phase and prevent problems. Some kind of cap made to be a snubber. No, panel mounted devices are for whole house surge protection or to create a signal bridge between both legs of the ph...

Also as an aside ... I think that either my ferm fridge or ferm freezer throws off some frequencies that interfere with my X10 lights as they turn on at weird times of the day. My preliminary research leads me to these devices (they are common "noisemakers"). Sorry... off topic here.... X...

Have you checked out Bargain Mugs? Pretty reasonable when you get 72 pieces. Multi-colors really add to the price though.

You guys kill me with all this lowballing. Here's how I see the cost of putting these together: $100 - 2 Kegs (polished, not banged up, much nicer than 95% of the kegs you can find out there). $ 60 - 4 SS Ball Valves $ 52 - ABT False bottom from Northern Brewer w/ dip tube $ 25 - sight glass & f...

This is sweet! Nice job!

OK, here's the current iteration of my stand. I now have the BCS-462 running all the temp probes, gas valves, pumps & liquid valves. I'm still working on tweaking the programming on the BCS to meet my processes. I'll still be tearing it back apart to either powder coat or paint the stand. I'm me...

I brewed on the new stand last Sunday. I haven't painted/powder coated it yet as I wanted to give it a shake down run to see if I was going to make any other modifications to it. This brew was done in a manual mode with the exception of the Love controllers to monitor temps. I've picked up the BCS-4...

At almost double the price for the BCS-462, I'm fine with the 460. I don't need more than 4 temp probes and the expansion card was cheap to get me more inputs/outputs.

I've made a little progress on the stand. I have the gas plumbing done. I'll be hooking my fluid plumbing back up similar to how it was on my old stand so I can get back to brewing right away, but I'll be sourcing some new 3 way SS electronic valves to fully automate it. I just ordered the BCS-460, ...

I started sanding and painting my brew stand yesterday, and didn't finish until about 7. Bummed I wasn't able to make it, but my stand looks sweet and there is no more rust! Better paint fast!! Oh I got it all painted that night. Now I just have to hope this high temp paint I used holds up and does...

The new brew stand arrived today. Wow! This thing is stout! Joe did a very nice job on the welding and followed the specs I requested to a "T". Thank You Joe! Dan, I really appreciate you working with Joe to bring this opportunity to the club members. There's absolutely no way for someone ...

Hey guys, I just did the PayPal to formally join the group. I was at the Feb. meeting and the CHA Festival tagging along with Brian C. I should be bringing growlers of my last two brews with me tomorrow.

Dan - any status updates on this?

I would be interested in seeing the stand designs and dimensions that others have come up with. Anyone care to share theirs?
