Are you going to put the put on the stove, and supplement with the heat stick, or only the heat stick?

Crooked Tootsie Cream Ale. I like this idea. Keep going. For your plugs, are they two prong that go straight in? No 90 degree plugs? I bring it up, because I wonder how that would work, plugging it in,will one outlet get covered by the others cord?

For those of you that used the included camco gasket, what steps did you take to cover the element wiring? Did you just shink wrap it and call it a day? I'm currently in the process of doing the Kal method, where you cover the element wiring in a weather proof gangbox, which is nice, since...

I am in the same boat as you, my build is easily starting to turn into a money pit, and it gets quite frustrating at times. Feel free to laugh at some of my mistakes: -No, a weldless kettle wall mountable RTD probe will NOT screw into an NPT sight gauge Tee, better find a SS plug online...

Ive used step bits, hole saws and knockouts, and in my limited experience, i would put hole saws at the bottom of the list. But in all fairness i dont have a drill press. A step bit to make a hole big enough for a knockout is my preferred method, mainly because the end result is so clean...

If there is a harbor freight near you, you can try their $20 metal knockout set. I used the 1 1/4 inch on my keggle and it worked just fine. Just need to make a hole for the bolt with a step bit.

I can vouch for the harbor freight knock-out, but there is a caveat. The harbor freight kit comes with 4 punches, and two bolts - a large one and a small one. The larger three knockouts work with the large bolt, and the smallest knockout works with the small bolt. I used the larger bolt, and...

OK, I changed around the diagram as per some of your suggestion. Let me know if this makes a bit more sense.

So the on/off switch AFTER the SSR (right before the element)? Would I be safe using just the 25a On/Off switch, or would I need a contactor? I only put the on/off switch at the beginning, b/c it made sense to me to want to cut the power going into the box, not just going into the element...

Thanks for replying. I'm not planning on using a pump. As far as the lights, I wanted to use one light to show when the control panel had power (which is why I had it where the hots are coming in. And the 2nd light (which was a late addition) was to show when the pid was firing the element...

Hi, I'm a technologist by trade, but not an electical engineer. Please review my wiring diagram, and let me know if I am missing anything. It is for a single PID, single vessel system, with 1 on/off switch, an emergency stop, a "power on" LED, and an indicator light for when the PID is...
