Yup, I got all of the outlets from Auber or Amazon. The flanged inlet as well as the outlet are both 3 pronged 15/20A (I can't remember which) 120V locking receptacles. This is basically what I got, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003ATVCC8/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 As for the zipties holding...

Not a problem. I figured people on here would appreciate my work. All my roommates managed to say about it was that I was building a time machine lol. I'll also tell you, I did not have any electrician background. All it took was an immense amount of research and careful planning. Granted, my...

I decided about 2 months ago that I was tired of the gravity fed system and heavy lifting of kettles full of water, so I began to design a new RIMS system. So far, I have completed my control panel and have my RIMS tube along with the keggles. All I have left is to design and fabricate a frame...

That looks awesome. That is pretty much what I was looking for. Many thanks for the input.

I already know the exact sizes of all the holes I need to cut. All there is, is a 22mm diameter hole for all switches/LEDs, 45x45mm square for PID controller, 26x26mm square for pump outlets, 44mm diameter circle for element power outlet, and a 51mm diameter hole for the inlet for total power...

I haven't had any problems at all with their customer service. They are quick to respond and help with what I need. The thing that gets me is I was told by them that they can't guarantee that they ship me an enclosure that isn't dented because, and I quote, "All of our enclosures came by ocean...

I've looked through the forum for a while but couldn't seem to find any topics on this. I have all my pieces and enclosure that I need to assemble my control panel for my RIMS system. Of course I could draw out all the dimensions of the panel and manually measure where each switch and LED...

I'll start off by saying I have been homebrewing for about 4 years now and have been working at my LHBS for nearly 10 months now. I began designing and piecing together a new RIMS system about a month ago. I now have all the pieces I need in order to construct my control panel. I ordered all...

I ended up getting a 12V DC adapter and wired it in just the same. Now my problem is that it is causing it to spin too fast. I turn my power switch on and it goes very fast and I am able to make it go even faster with the potentiometer. Even at the lowest setting the stir bar gets thrown off...

So I just finished wiring my stir plate together. I bought a new 3" 12VDC cooling fan from Radioshack. I used a 25 Ohm Rheostat along with a 30A - 12VDC rocker switch and an old 5V phone charger as my power source. Once I connected everything together and turned the rocker switch on my fan...

I'm positive there are many of you out there that have done this project for yourself as well. I've been brewing and kegging for a while and realized I have an old mini fridge sitting around that I don't use anymore. I figured why not convert it into a kegerator? It's a Frigidaire with an...

I am currently brewing a pale ale that is a clone of Sierra Nevada's pale ale. It has been in the primary fermentor for a week now. I plan on leaving it in primary for at least another week and a half to two weeks. Now I am wondering when to add the gelatin to it to help clear it up. I have read...
