Yes. That looks like it will work.

The controller you have is only rated for 12VDC power. Your freezer is 120VAC. You will need a 12VDC power supply for the STC-1000 on terminals 1&2. And you can leave the other wires on 7&8. Unfortunately you may have already let the smoke out of the controller.

The VFD that I am using is a single phase output Invertek Optidrive E2. I had it laying around so that is really the only reason that I used it. I have been in the wastewater industry as well as ethanol for over 10 years and have seen flow control done using both variable speed pumps and...

Thanks! I checked out your setup and it is very cool as well. You did a great job on the interface. Very clean and professional looking!

Thanks kal. I just checked out your setup. Awesome job!!

Here's a few pictures of my control panel. It was recycled from work. I have an Allen Bradley CompactLogix PLC and a Red Lion HMI. I am also using VT SCADA for remote control and trending.

You could use something like Dropbox. Just upload the files to Dropbox and then share the link.

I am using the 0-100 inH2O model and I do realize that I am loosing some resolution but that is the closest one they offer for my application and I am really only using it for reference and enabling the heating element. I am using the flow meter to measure the water for strike and sparge. I...

I didn't make the bottoms conical but the only one I would like to do it on would be the boil kettle. I think I will take the boil kettle to work and put it in the hydraulic press to make it drain a bit better. I am using an Automation Direct Prosense pressure transmitter and I found the...

Here's a few pictures of my brewing system. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/v4x3xpdvm708b1z/AABc1BDqpStIYbXLAEBMtxpoa?dl=0 I built the tanks from stainless pipe and welded bottoms on them. I spent countless hours polishing the tanks only to get a somewhat acceptable finish. Next time I...
