I just added a 'companion' board to the Github. I know there are a lot of relay boards out there, but I like to make things - especially purpose built for homebrewing. Will be a code writeup and schematic overview, but for now its just a posting: Homebrew 4 channel DC Relay Companion Board -...

That would be awesome actually! My intention was to make this an evolving project and hopefully get some people involved in its development. My next steps in this whole project, other than continued development and enhancements is to develop a core compact control panel using this interface. I...

For those interested, I have also added a step by step guide for how to cross compile Qt 6 for the Raspberry Pi. Not sure who is using Qt 6 just yet, but it does have promise for what it can do over Qt 5.4 (Might be outside the home brew community but figured I would share anyway) With small...

I have been brewing beer for a very long time, and have gone through many iterations of brewing equipment from propane, to stove, to electrical, all at various batch volumes. I have always seen home brew panels look like The Electric Brewery panels (Who have done a great job on their design) but...

Has anyone heard of this place plantbasedpros.com? I just ordered a SS Brewtech 15 gallon kettle and they are not charging tax, or shipping through the moth of June and I want to make sure the place is legit. The 15 gallon kettle came out to 239$, which is cheaper than the SS site and with no...

In on this one.

Looks like the best giveaway to date. Count me in!

Absolutely amazing giveaway. Count me in!

I bridged the 2 hot lines at the terminal blocks, plugged it in and voila! Flipped the PID switch and everything came on like a champ. Flipped the contactor switch and clank! turned on the indicator light and contactor. I finally drilled the hole in my pot and am letting the JB weld dry on the...

Looks like a good giveaway. I'm in!

Sweet. Ill have to make this happen then. My house was built for everything gas, so no 240 was ever put in. There is a 30amp 3 prong circuit in the garage and was thinking of just bringing it into the house, but I want a legit 4 prong with proper grounding. Don't want to do the spa panel thing...

Quick question. Would it be possible to bridge the 2 hots and run this on 120v temporarily until I get a 240 installed? Is there enough power running the 240v SSR and contactor? Im not exactly sure how this works. Does it require a 240v input to apply power to the element? I understand the...

Thanks. I don't have a 240 line in my house yet so I have to hold off until thats complete. Want to get a pumpkin ale going.
