I have been using a RIMS system with a PID, RTD sensor and a ssr for years. I have had good results. However, I want to convert the rest of my system to electric. Those 3 items from Auberins are approximately $100. Water and wort temperatures are easy to control with a Potentiometer for a...

PJ, Could I replace the PID in your diagram with a Dragonstiil Potentiometer and ssr? Thx http://www.stilldragon.com/diy-controller.html

Could the still dragon be wired to switch to hlt then over to blk? I would like to run one at a time on 240v by switching. I just need to heat and boil water. I been looking at pj's 30a 1 pid running either or at one time by switching the power. I have been running a electric RIMS for years with...

Give them a call or email. They have not been listed for a while. He said that he found 14 more in his warehouse. I was at his store on 2/19/13.

I just spoke the owner of hosfelt's today. He said that there are 14 of the 30A cords left. Better hurry, they are going fast. Cheers:drunk:

I'm glad everyone is happy with the GFCI cords. Hosfelts are awesome people to deal with... I'll post anymore good brewing deals I find. Cheers:mug:

The shipping shouldn't be that bad to Michigan from Ohio. Let me know. If I find any more deals at hosfelt's, I'll post them. Cheers

I looked at the GFCI cord. It's the same one in this link. I'm unsure how to read the response time. It's the one Kal uses in the electric brewery. http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24879

I just scored a brand new 30A GFCI power cord for $25 at my local electronics store. If anyone is interested, they have 5 more left at that price plus shipping. They also have a lot of hard to find electronic parts. :mug: http://hosfelt.com/contents/en-us/d702.html

Awesome... Thx :mug:

P-J, I like the diagram. I would like to build one similar. I would like to have a led light for the HLT and one for the Bk. Could they be installed after the switch on one of 120v lines? Thx

:mug: What's the best Android App for all grain brewing??

Ok. Last week I brewed a 10 Gallon batch. I batch sparged. According to Promash, I hit my numbers. 14.5lbs maris otter @ OG 1.040= 80% efficengy. 12.5 gallon @ boil 11 gallons end of boil. I'm were I need to be. Thx

Thanks for the advise. I feel a little better. I'm going to do a 10 gallon simple blond ale. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I'm new to AG brewing. I have done a few 5 gallon batches on my rims system. I use promash for my receipes. After MLT conversion, I up my temp. to 170. I circulate at that temp for 5 minutes and do the first run off. Then, I add 170 degree water stir the grain and circulate at 170 for 5 minutes...
