Franko's Brewstand Construction

[Franko]

Hey franko

Have you set up an auto ignition for the rambo burner. I have one and plumbed up the pilot gas after i lost a lot of hair from my arm, fringe and eyebrows!

ITs handy to have on as well. If it starts to boil over, you can shut down the flame and then just turn the tap back on without having to relite it.

Mate...... youve covered all the bases and the rig looks fantastic! In sure you have that covered too. Its just something i thought of.

Cheers mate.

Thanks Tony,
I actually havent thought about that mate but it makes great sense . Have you got a pic of your burner with the connection to the pilot flame

Thanks mate

Franko, you could just fit an peizo igniter, they work great and cost 10 bucks. There is a post here

How is this holding up after about 12 months use?

Still going as good as day one after 50 or so brews, I thought it would have succumbed to the heat ages ago. Best ten bucks I've spent in a long time.

Hey Guys,

I know its been a long long long time in the making, And now that I'm starting to recover from my spinal surgery a few things have had to be changed to make it Franko friendly.
The march pump has now been mounted to the back wall of the brewery and I plan to use 2 silicon hoses instead of having multiple ball valves connected to the pump. This will make it easier for me so I dont have to bend down to control the flow.
So all that is left is:
Final wiring of the control panel
Installation of the 2 Thermocouples
Build the HERMS coil

And finally
Brew on the bastard its been a long time coming but where not far off the mark now.

No worries Dave,

[mika]

Wasn't there a discussion sometime ago about the problems with vertically mounting a march pump ?

 

[yardy]

Franko

just gloss it with whatever you blinged yours with and the meat should cook itself :lol:

all jokes aside, very nice job mate, good luck with the maiden voyage

Absolutely excellent Franko old son. :super:
Been a long time in the making & glad to know your back is on the mend.
Those kegs look brand new to me (Lucky sod ) & it appears that you have mounted your pump so that the inlet is slightly below the outlet? Is this correct?

'tis a thing of beauty Franko. I hope your gonna have us all over for her maiden voyage.
