    Dual element boil kettle with 1 PID

    I'm currently building a new 1/2bbl BIAB system with 2 element 50A panel based on a slightly modified @doug293cz 50A panel design using two controllers and two pumps. Here's the modified design: @doug293cz, it would be great if you could do a sanity check on this (I just removed the second...

    See Auber's DSPR1 and the manual has examples of wiring.

    Solar Pump Issues and Reviews

    I use an old external hard drive power supply for the black pump. 12v 2.5a and have been using it for over a year without any issues. I have it mounted directly to the output of my HLT so it's only been pumping water.

    IRIMS is here!

    Nice idea! Along with insulating, you might want to consider creating some turbulence within the TC tube. Maybe get some stainless 16 gauge (or larger) wire and make a coil (like a big spring) with a diameter that is roughly the ID of the TC tube and have the coil run the length of the tube...

    are tri-ply pots preferred for induction burners?

    Check out Jarhill pots on EBay. They are 410 stainless and inexpensive. I have them (I don't use induction heating) and a magnet sticks just fine. They are thin and don't have a a tri-clad bottom though.

    PJ diagram modification

    Thanks for the input. This is what I was planning to do. I will have the probes mounted on the outputs of the HLT and the BK and then just do the switch manually. I also use and IC and whirlpool for chilling and with the probe on the BK I can monitor temps while chilling. I understand...

    PJ diagram modification

    Great. Thanks for the feedback. Can I use the same switch (Auber SW2) and just stack another pair of NO/NC blocks on the switch? These.

    PJ diagram modification

    I'm building a control panel based on one of PJ's diagrams, but I want to add one of the new Auber DSPR1 for boiling control. I've modified this diagram and wanted to get some feedback to see if I've done wiring correctly. The idea here is to be able to use the PID to control the elements in...

    FastFerment conical fermenter??????

    If the OD of you probe is less than 9mm you could just use some heatsink thermo paste to make good thermal contact between your probe and the thermowell.
