    New way to control Pellet Hop gunk!

    Yes, I use a 2" triclover. I was thinking about using a screen tube that would just push into the neck of the keggle and bottom against the 2' X 1/2" adapter.

    New way to control Pellet Hop gunk!

    Sorry, I should have explained better. Hops go outside of the tube, just like no screen at all. The draining liquid goes thru the screen on the way out.

    New way to control Pellet Hop gunk!

    I have bottom drain electric keggle. I wonder if small diameter (the same as the ID of the keg neck) screen tube standing straight up like the original spear would clog badly during draining. It will clear my heater and allow the use of the immersion cooler. If it would work, it should keep all...

    50 Amp Power Cord

    I bought a 50a range cord at Lowe's to put in my panel. I'm in the RV business,so I have a few 50a RV extension cords around. The cord from Lowe's is much smaller in outside diameter than the RV cord, but they are both very stiff and hard to handle. Got ahold of some 6/4 soow cord and it is...

    Does turning off the contactor cause the PID to adjust itself?

    Thanks for getting the research done on that! I had myself convinced that I would have to back the set point down every time I was done with a heater.

    Does turning off the contactor cause the PID to adjust itself?

    Actually, I'm using the 2362 controller. I didn't think it used "fuzzy logic". Anyway, I registered on Auber's forum to ask them. Waiting on them to complete registering. I do thank this board for all the knowledge I've gathered throughout my build!

    Does turning off the contactor cause the PID to adjust itself?

    Thanks for all the input on this! I thought I'd seen that the PID continues to learn. We'll have to wait and find out what Auber says!

    Does turning off the contactor cause the PID to adjust itself?

    Yes, I ran the auto-tune. I was concerned that if I just turned off the contactor, and did not run the temperature down, the PID would continue to "learn" even though the system was not heating.

    Does turning off the contactor cause the PID to adjust itself?

    Hi, sorry if this has been covered, I couldn't find it. I brewed with my new setup last weekend. It's a 3 vessel system with one 5500w element and one pump for now. I didn't put in a contactor in the element circuit, but am going to before I brew again. My question is if I just turn off the...

    Getting closer!

    As I get closer to finishing up, I realize the importance of the contactor to positively kill the element. My question is: after I shut off the 240v to the SSR with the contactor, does the PID try to change it's settings because the temp is not rising?

    Getting closer!

    yeah,they're overkill. I bought them for cheap for something else, you know how priorities change!

    Getting closer!

    Hopefully, I'll run the maiden batch next weekend!
