Hey Cold Country... Ever hear anything back on that email?

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why is that? I love Reds Rye!

But when the switch is thrown doesn't that make it balanced?

I did it to be sure I would not kink the hose.

My bad fellas. I made this for a buddy for his birthday. He made the trip down to visit and I gave it to him. His dad will know how to get it working. I wish I would have snapped some photos. Sorry. Thanks for all the feedback!

Thanks for the feed back guys. This would also seem to be an issue when running a HERMS system.

Good advice there HHDC. Thanks. My other question is how do you clear the lines of the chiller and hoses? As soon as the kettle is dry the dip tube is just sucking air. Then the pump stops working and you have all those lines full of wort. I was hoping someone had a fix for that. I think...

So a buddy and I decided to try and chill 10 gallons of wort with his 50' copper chiller my immersing the chiller in a bucket of ice water. Then using his chugger pump we ran the wort of from the kettle and into the chiller. It was coming out of the chiller at 70 degrees. Only question was...

So a self tapping screw from the outside? Then just use a washer/gasket? That could work. I was hoping to be leak proof and not have to worry about another area to watch for leaks is all. Thanks

That sounds like a good idea. I'll wire the outlet alone and see what I get. Problem with the switch I already cut the hole and mounted it in my box. I'll try and post a pic later.

Stainless really does nothing for you in this application. If you can get a higher temp rated pump in plastic for that go for it vs the SS version

The LED/Lighted switch gets light as soon as I turn it on without a neatrul. So that does not seem to be an issue. As for the GFCI not working. They come "pre-tripped" so they should not work until you reset them. I tried to reset them and they wouldn't budge. So is my wiring sound...

Your local Fleet Farm store. It's a watering pan/tray for large animals. I may go back and get an even larger diameter. Any round tub should work.

will this work for solder and flux? Silver solder no lead. I will be using it to solder a grounding screw inside an element housing. http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1290620 Thanks Steve

Yes. I'm connected to the line not load. SO what I'm thinking now is I have to wire up both hot and neutral wires to the switch and the out to the outlet. as it is now I only have the hot wire coming in and out with the neutral wire directly wired to the outlet.
