I have a 10 gallon single tier natural gas brewery with a Blichmann Tower of Power, keezer (well the chest freezer is dead, but all the gas fittings and liquid fittings work and need to go), temperature controllers, yeast harvesting and raching equipments, a 15.5 gallon Sabco "yeast brink" with...

Little Giant pump - magnetic drive with ryton-pump head. Very similar to the popular March pump. This is about 3 years old and includes some spare parts - spare impeller, pump housing, and a couple other bits and pieces. It's a great little pump. I went stainless-steel crazy and upgraded...

Just came across this and I wanted to share it here: http://youtu.be/m2E_PAgoGSE He makes it look easy. It ain't, but it's a good video instruction on purging with argon and doing fusion welds for sanitary applications and inspecting them. Worth a look. His videos are generally great. I...

I actually switched my setup and eliminated the Asco valves. Sorry.

They're sold, thanks everyone.

Stainless hardware, thermometers, pipe fittings.

Sorry for the delay in replying, yes, they're 1/2 inch.

The three piece is one that I got from you, I'll get the name off of it...

sorry, i was referring to the ones installed on the 3-piece ball valves. they're a PITA.

sorry to resurrect an old thread, but - is there a video or something showing how to install these things? i've tried and tried and even cut the hell out of my hand but have not succeeded in getting them installed. thanks.

bump. make an offer? anything considered, including trades.... i'm laughing b/c the earlier post said "make an oy"

I have 8 of them. All are pictured. All have black rubber o rings. Asking $50 including shipping anywhere in the lower 48 states. Or make an oy.

Just a few quick notes about the Blichmann Tower of Power, a quasi-review - I run a natural gas Brutus 10 type setup with hurricane burners and a natural gas orifice from Williams Brewing. I found that I needed to us my drill press to enlarge the orifice to get the thing to ignite consistently...

Just to answer my own question in two parts: 1. Blichmann makes nothing that's inexpensive. 2. The cable is more than just an ugly USB to RJ45 hack - it's got some kind of USB to RS485 hardware on board. Oh well.

Does anyone know the pinout? I have an RJ45 connector crimper and spare USB cables and would like to make my own rather than buying one (particularly since I'm flat broke from buying the Tower of Power). Thanks. flatulently,
