I think the ssr and ssvr in serial would work, and they then are both working and you could run it as you intend. For a couple of reasons, one of which i don't have a really valid reason for is that I know I would probably forget to move the ssvr to 100% and getting my strike up to temp would...

I am looking at having the hot "line 2" that comes into my system and usually only feeds the in switching side of the ssr, come in to a dpst selector switch which then feeds the in switching side of the ssr or the in to the non control side of the ssvr (if that makes sense). So I set the...

That's a clothes dryer....... Aus/nz are similar

I was looking at the same idea for my controller and setup....... I have decided to add a selector switch to control either PID or pot (into ssr or ssvr), that way I don't need to go into any pid settings when I want to control boil with the pot. I also don't want to deal with pushing buttons...

Mine is still working like a charm. The ice bank control on mine is gone too, never worked since I had it so I have a timer on the outlet that turns it on either 30-45 mins a day depending on the season, doesn't over freeze, and always keeps it cool. The taps do stick if not used for a bit, but...

I may have to pull apart one of my taps and pull that piece out and see how good it works, I will still need to keep the pressure near 22-24psi due to the temp of the kegs based on the pressure graph to keep them properly carbed, so it may be too quick for it.

I have the flow restriction all the way out, and my pressures are similar to that, my pours are probably slower than a usual tap, but I get nice pours with a good head, so I'm not too worried if it takes a couple of seconds longer. I haven't modified the unit at all yet.

Do you think it's necessary to mount the heat sink outside the toolbox? I was looking at mounting it inside cause there would be affair amount of air space, but there is no circulation and I'm not sure exactly how hot the Ssr and heat sink will get. I am also looking at, if being inside the...

Excellent, thanks so much, those were the ideas I was thinking too, hinges and rubber feet so the toolbox isn't sitting on the screws. I have been looking at all kinds of control box options, but the toolbox with the ability to close over the switches and the pid is the winner in my head, thanks...

I love the toolbox controller, I am thinking of doing the same thing, did you flip over the shelf piece so it is upside down? Also are your terminal strips and contactor just fastened to the bottom of the toolbox or did you use some kind of false bottom/board? And the Ssr etc just on the...

Based on the pressure-temp graph, I am pressurizing at 24psi, (i have a stella clone on it atm), I am thinking of upping the pressure just a touch too for the flow constrictions but I am getting good pours, it's just playing with it a little. I presently have the flow control almost fully open...

Do you actually have/use one? Is there anything I should know long term? I hadn't seen any threads about using one like it so that's why I did this thread for info if anyone else finds one and wants to use it for their beer.

Yeah mine is the Cornelius Universal c-750 and the instructions and machine breakdown are pretty much the same!

I don't really want to hijack the thread so check out my own thread for info..... The kegs sit at room temp, not in the machine.... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-beer-dispensing-using-soda-machine-365291/
