Well I'm ready to transform my control panel back into the 220 30amp 5500 Watt element system. Just moved into a new house and got a 30 amp outlet installed!
This works wonderfully for me. Moisture hasn't been a problem for me. The only problem I have had is with the wiring. When opening and closing the door the wiring sometimes gets caught up on my kegs. And this also loosens the wiring in the back of the controller. I actually had wires fall out...
Well my first brew day went great! I brewed a black butte porter clone that ive been wanting to do forever.
Brew day went as planned. I did have a little bit of a problem when i was recirculating at first. I had the pump pretty much wide open and i ended up creating a vacuum. I couldnt even...
Well my new contactors got here!!! Though he did only send me 30A ones... I installed them anyways because i don't need that high of ones anyways. They work like a charm and are super quiet!!
Heating my water and doing an auto-tune as i type!
Well i believe that i have 2 faulty contactors... what are the odds? They both get 120 to the input side, both get 120 to the coil. One of them doesnt give power to the output side and one of them is really really loud.
Well i finished all my wiring!!! Now i just need to troubleshoot my problems.
1. Element #1 does not fire. Must be some loose wiring somewhere between the ssr/contactor??
2. Element #2 Contactor is quite considerably louder than the other one. Might be a bad contactor??
Im getting my dads...
