    110v Recirculating eBIAB 2.5 gallon batches

    OK... So how the hell exactly do you set up the alarm on the pid to go off when temperature reaches your set temp? I've been reading up on it but can't find an answer.

    110v Recirculating eBIAB 2.5 gallon batches

    It's got spring loaded quick disconnects on both ends (kettle & panel). You have a standard type panel mount with wires for the pid. Probe stays in the T-fitting all the time with a quick disconnect there as well so you can completely remove the cable and store it.

This is a lot of **** in a little box. FYI don't assemble the box until most of the wiring is complete. The box itself can...

    @Kevin509....:mug: As I read this I can't help but think about the fact we are talking about how we all like to make booze, maybe even have a smoke or 2 while we pound down some of our home brew. I drive too fast, ride a motorcycle with no helmet, scuba and skydive, eat crappy (not always)...
