It WORKS!!!!! Thank you so much. You've saved my brew day! Very thankful for people like you looking out for morons like me on this forum!

Between 1 and 2 are negligible, and 2/3 and 1/3 are 110 ohms.

No problem, thanks for responding. Im literally sitting here with my grains milled wondering what to do. Here are a couple pictures. One is at the xlr input (looking at the back of it). You can see two reds and a white. The second is my DSPR terminals where you can see 3, 4, and 5. The white is...

I bridged 3 and 4 with a piece of wire and there was continuity between them but it still doesnt work.

I checked and the 2 reds are in 3 and 4, and the ground has continuity to pin 5. It seems like it is worth a shot bridging pins 3 and 4. Is that as simple as loosening a terminal screws, adding the small piece of wire and tightening back up? Does it matter what kind of wire?

Also, I have the DSPR310D. In the manual, it shows how the terminals should be wired. Maybe need to do some work here? I attached the diagram.

Thanks for the response. If i can get my hands on a multimeter, where do I go from there? Is this as simple as open adapter cord surgery? I bought this adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B073LKRN2M?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title It does say the adapter is for audio

Hello, I recently got the ss brewtech rims element which uses a 3.5mm jack for the temp probe. I currently have an auber controller that uses a 3 prong xlr connection for the temp probe. I got an adapter (3.5mm jack to xlr) but this doesnt work. Does anybody have an idea whats going on here? Ss...

Hi @BrunDog , I'm definitely not fearing RIMS. I know the 2-vessel with dual RIMS elements will give me the speedy brew day I'm looking for! Is there a reason you would run the 240V element at 120V other than reducing the watts/area? I guess if you're using 240V, the RIMS tube could get pretty...

Awesome post, @Wizard_of_Frobozz ! So is the duty cycle what the SSR acomplishes with your PID? So if you had an EZboil from Auber, it seems like you would be able to mess with this power reduction? I guess the PID that you use with your mash recirculation would be set with a duty cycle, and...

@Wizard_of_Frobozz , I'm currently about to pull the trigger on a 2-vessel build and it sounds like I'm on the same page as you with how I want my system to work (@BrunDog helped persuade me this way too!). I would like to do both 5 and 10 gallon batches. I will use a 15 gallon kettle and and am...

Hi @BrunDog , thanks for your input. I will have 30 amp service, so I assume I'll only have one element firing at once. When you say to get a proper 2 element 30 amp controller, is that just so I dont need to unplug anything? Do you have a good example of this? Reaching over and unplugging one...

@CodeSection - WOW, thank you for the replies. That was a great visual. I just looked in my Beersmith for one of my own recipes. For the 15 gallon kettles that have a 16" diameter, each gallon of water takes up 1.14" of space. Considering a grain absorption rate of 0.125 gal/lb (seem about...

None at all. I would just need to figure out how low I can reasonably connect an element like this in the kettle. Would you have any concerns if you only have minimal wort in covering the element, yet it's 5500W (during the mash recirculation)? I'd certainly like power like that for when I'm...

@CodeSection , take a look at my attached file. I would have cam locks for quick connections when I'm switching anything, and this obviously has some potential for drips here and there... I can live with that. The RIMS Rocket would just sit idle when not being used. For a 5 gallon batch, after I...
