The INPUT on the PID is set to PT100. This is the first time I am testing the PID and PT100 (just finished building the control panel). The PID itself seems OK insofar as it works fine in manual mode - just getting weird readings from the temp probe. Pretty sure I have the PT100 connected to the...

Was performing water tests on my EBIAB control panel this afternoon but having an issue with the PID controller. It powers up fine and I am able to switch to manual mode without any issues. When I switch to PID mode my temperature readings are way too high. I have the input set to PT1 and my PID...

Eureka......that's gotta be it. I have both white wires connecting to the neutral bus and didn't connect to the breaker. Thanks for the feedback.

Need some advice troubleshooting an issue with my control panel. I performed a dry test just to verify all my switches were working correctly so plugged into my upstairs dryer outlet. Turned key, power light came on. Turned element switch....everything lit up as expected and tested the e-stop...

Looking for some design help with our new Brewery Logo. The Brewery name is "Off The Cuff Brewing". We are thinking that our branding is going to be along the lines of what Mikkeller does but with a bit of a harder edge to it - maybe bit more far-east anime style. Just looking for anyone that...

OK. That pretty much answers my question then. My main power feed has a ground wire that connects to the breaker box where I have a GFCI breaker installed. I just wasn't sure if I needed some additional ground but sounds like I do not. Explains why i never see a ground wire coming directly off...

This is a followup to an earlier post I had regarding grounding the actual brew panel. I have a jumper between the door and the main panel and I have a ground connection going between the panel ground screw and the terminal blocks that my element and main power ground to. My question is in...

Thanks. I have connected a jumper between the grounding screw in the door and the one in the panel. I also have connected a ground wire between the terminal blocks where my element and main power are grounded to the screw in the panel. This all makes perfect sense to me. Final question is in...

Completed wiring my new 30a eBIAB kit from EBS. Only remaining question that I had was if you need to attach a ground wire to the panel itself. There is a grounding screw on the door for my enclosure but the wiring guide made no mention of any connections to ground the panel so figured I's...

Been going over the wiring diagrams for my new 30a BIAB kit from Electric Brewing Supply and while I am able to follow most of this I am a bit confused on the wiring coming from the e-stop button. Specifically coming out of the NO circuit and coming out of the NC circuit. It appears that at...

Got the DIY kit from ebrewing supply for the 30a BIAB Control Panel. I did not go with the enclosure that it comes with as I had already purchased a biab enclosure from auberins. There were a few incompatibilities between the kit and my enclosure but I have exchanged out what I needed to and now...

Forgot that you could simply set the PID to manual control and adjust the percentage. I'll probably go with that option as doesn't require any changes to my current panel build out and see how that goes.

I had been looking at 2 potential options from auberins. The first would be to replace the Love PID controller that shipped with the kit for the EZboil controller from auber. I am assuming the wiring for the EZBoil would be similar to the PID. I know there is a bit of a trade-off on temperature...

Finally pulled the trigger and ordered the 30a BIAB kit from Electric brewing Supply. I didn't get the enclosure as I had already purchased a BIAB enclosure separately from Auberins. My question is for anyone with a PID based controller for eBIAB. How are you controlling the intensity of the...

Interesting.......seeing the pictures of that opened up may have convinced me to build this on my own. Seems like a pretty basic wiring job. Probably save a few $$$ in the process as well. Heck.....my oldest daughter is taking robotics this year so this could be a good learning project for her...
