I've been scouring the forums all day, but haven't really found any direct answers for my needs...
I purchased most parts a while back to automate my brewing, had to put things on hold for almost the past year with a new baby. So I'm back brewing now trying to get this project finished, and I see that Blichmann now has a great package to do exactly what I was wanting to do with my build, unfortunately I have quite a bit of money already invested and can't really scrap it AND spend the cash for the ToP setup, so I'm looking for the build plans with part numbers for a clone or very similar to the Blichmann to finish what I started a year ago.
Here are my requirements for my build:
-all components to be high pressure propane compatible
-direct spark ignition or similar safety and windproof design (want to avoid standing pilots)
Here are the parts I already have:
-(2) 1/2" 120VAC Viton B21V solenoid valves (the ones popular on ebay)
-(2) Auber (SYL-2362) with cables and RTD sensors
So my biggest sticking point is I don't know what parts to get for the ignition/pilot side to do what I want (DSI) with what I already have and be an automatic, but safe system.
I'm hoping someone out there has built a setup like I want with these parts and can help me fill in the blanks. The closest thing I could think of to a commercial available would be the Blichmann, so build plans with p/n would also be helpful. Thanks for any help, and if there is another thread already covering this in detail, please link!
