I'm in for 3-4 sacks as well. Is there a list yet for people who want to start splitting bags?

+1 for this. The WL tasting room was one of my favorite places while in SD. They have the recipe book there so you can actually see what ingredients went into the beer you are drinking. Awesome to see how big a difference yeast makes in a beer as well.

The arduino will be connected to a temperature probe. The program will monitor the probe and send a control to turn off the elements once the desired temperature is reached. Thats the function of this project. Adding a PID controller is a great idea, I just don't know how to do it.

//do other stuff Best part :mug:

Ok, thats what I thought. Just wanted to make sure. There are 2 heating elements in the setup. I have not looked into controlling the elements with PWN. I've read some stuff about PID controllers, but wasn't sure I could utilize that with the Arduino. Any links?

Having both elements on at the same time cause the boil to go out of control. It's fine for heating up quickly, but not when maintaining a boil. Only one element is needed to have a good boil. SSR's tend to be much more expensive. The mechanical relays I have listed are about $4 each...

Wow, so many responses! Love this forum! Here are the relays I intend to use: DIGIKEY. I will be using two relays because I want the ability to bypass one of them to have on when it is time to actually boil. The Arduino control will be done with a temperature sensor. I will set the...

I'm looking to do a project with my Arduino to control my HLT. I built a kettle following disintegr8tor's How To and it works great. I'd like to control the two elements with a single arduino and temp probe. I've found how to control one relay with an arduino, but not how to control two . I'd...

Did you get anywhere with this seatbelt? Looking to do the same thing with my eKettle and STC-1000.
