Damn it, I'm lazy.

The other day as I'm watching the sight glass on my HLT fill, waiting to run and turn the hose off, I remembered I had a spare, brand new dishwasher solenoid valve lying around doing nothing to earn its keep.

So I slapped the valve on the output of my water filter and stuck a float switch in the HLT. Voila, push-button fillage.

Nice work, Push. You are the envy of all lazy homebrewers, like myself. Featured on www.wortomatic.com, I suppose?

LOL - Not yet. I'm doing the Binford 6100 v 1.5 - when it's done I'll post an update.

Nothing too radical, auto filling HLT & auto sparge.

LOL - good question. When you do radical Halloween pneumatics you have all kinds of solenoids, pistons and triggers lying around.

Just ask Sunken Bier.

Cheers,
