Nice! Thanks for sharing plan ideas for me to mull over

Box will have ssr's and pid's also planning on doing a small computer style fan, looking to buy a box but I'm not sure what dimensions are minimum to fit the largest components.

I'd also like to be able to control the output of the elements, that would best be done with a pid right?

The plan for right now is to do two different power cords to reach two different breakers that way the heating elements can be used independently what the maximum 20 amp Supply each

Oh nice, I'm in the Millcreek area. You in any local clubs?

I live 30minutes north of Seattle, been brewing over 7 years, always looking into how to renovate my system, no looking into how to make my Brew day efficient and quicker. I have a dedicated 10'x10' beer barn to unleash my creative outlet in, just have three kids under 3 years old so I don't see...

I would like to build a 2 element brew controller, one element for 1600w 5g batch boil, the other to run a hot stick for heating extra water or for running a lower wattage rims tube and pump for mash. I would like controllers to be able to pull control power output to elements. Emergency off for...

Try pitching two packs of a hight attenuation yeast like us05, I bet it would drop a few points after another week

How do you combat oxygen if you dump garbage yeast cake and re attached the ball to collect good repitchable cake?

That's wishful thinking and would be really rare, you could buy a rebuild kit for the regulator.

Are you able to remove all the cake for a clean secondary?

Pressure rises cuz your regulator isn't doing a proper job of stopping flow at the desired pressure. Don't worry about it rising if you can cut pressure to keg it honestly doesn't matter as long as you check your beer and kill PSI at desired pressure. Been doing this a while just can't forget...

Yah I've had the same problem for a couple years, I just carb up my beers then use a ball valve I mounted on my regulators to cut off pressure on that regulator, occasionally let pressure back through to compensate for beer loss.

What would you say are the down sides of the fast ferment system?

Looking for recipe help if you see anything wrong.
