Thank you so much for taking the time to write this up. I apparently need to go back to the drawing board on this project. Thanks for attaching the schematics for your brew panel, those will certainly be helpful in reworking this project.

I very much appreciate all the information and feedback on this thread. I have already started making some of the changes. I already have most of the supplies for this build on hand and am hoping to start making some progress on the build this weekend.

Thanks for catching that, I am reworking some of those errors. I appreciate you taking a look at it.

So even if it on only one hot leg it is still functional as it is breaking the circuit?

Looking for another set of eyes to look over my electric brewing schematics before I start wiring this up. I am most confused about how the PID controls only one leg of the electric element to have to fire when it is needed. Is it correct how I have the contactor opening the connection then...

I have a guy in Arvada that did mine, very reasonable in price and quality work. PM me if you want more info.

I was looking at going to 60a service to the spa panel. The with a 30a breaker on all 3 elements, 40a SSR and 32a conductors. This would give me to option of using 5500 watt elements if I decide I want to scale up. As I calculate it this should be within 80% load for 240v. I still have to test...

Thanks for all the great information. This helped me out quite a bit. I am now cindering scaling up all of the contractors, SSR's and breakers to 30 or ever 40 amps to allow for some scalability of the system for the future? Would there be any adversity in doing so? Considering it will all be...

I would like to thank this forum for all the great info; I have been pouring over it for weeks now and have found so much great info. I am looking at building a KAL clone and using one of P-J's wiring schematics. I finally found one that is exactly what I want. The diagram is this one...
