chisena, the diagram posted with my build is the exact wiring i performed. adding a second switch is as simple as duplicating the first switch. If you want I can update the diagram for that. eulipion2, the lighter guage coil wires from the switch go on the single tabs on either side of the of...

just thought I'd send an update, we pulled a few gallons and it is funky, tart, sour and AMAZING! Crayfish racked 3 gallons onto apples, I racked 1 gallon onto cherries and 1 gallon onto black berries, thinking about doing 3 gallons onto kiwi's next.

I'm in, thanks.

AllergictoHops, The light/exhaust fan combo is a typical home depot deal, I also have a 4" inline exhaust fan as well, I would recommend putting in 6" exhaust lines if possible, then you'd probably have no steam condensation at all by the end of your boil. Limulus... great point, I had a...

Yes, lots of thanks to pj and Kal... on my system I mix the grain a few times during the mash and leave the recirculation to a trickle, so I don't think a sparge arm would benefit, as a little pool gathers above the grains. Paperairplane, I manually lift the basket with one hand and quickly...

I used 14 awg for everything that services less than 15 amps, and 10 awg for everything else... on the diagram everything above the middle of the ssr is 10 awg.

Kevin, Doug is correct, the whirlpool effect may help, I've been recirculating with my check valve about hslf open.... I'll see what size drill bit I can fit in the false bottom holes to give you an idea about that. How much water do you account for for grain absorption... it may help to use a...

Doug- thanks, that looks like a great 15 gallon setup! DU99 - this whole rig is hooked up to a gfci breaker, the fuses are for equipment protection, the fuses and holders were less than $10, and are just wired inline to the equipment switches and estop. Eulipion2- when you have 240v systems...

Did you use pellet hops straight in the boil water? Perhaps a hop holder or hop spider will help next time. You may also consider a false bottom for your grain bag to sit on above your elements.

You can see the flow in the youtube playlist I posted... The false bottom has not clogged at all, actually the flow is pretty nice. I got my bag from "Home Brew Ohio" on Amazon: Brew In A Bag Straining Bag 26 x 26, the false bottom is a typical sanke contoured false bottom, don't know the...

ljkelly, Here's some photos of the king cooker: Here you see 4 stainless loop bolts i put in place to suspend the king cooker over the heating element in the keg. Here is the bottom of the king cooker, the false bottom sits on the lip, if I didn't want to use the bag I could solder or weld...

Thanks for the comments, The fan above the brew station is a 100 cfm, and the inline fine is 200cfm, At most I think I'm moving 200 cfm. The ceiling fan helps direct the air flow, but I don't think it adds to the air displacement. I think you were asking how it handles the boil, pretty well...

I updated the post with a parts list, those are front load fuse holders, if a fuse blows I don't have to take the box apart to swap it out, haven't had a fuse blow though...

I started thinking about brewing indoors after my first brew, which happened on a pretty chilly Chicago winter night. I really enjoyed that brew day, and most of the brew days after, however I wanted a setup I could really call my own. Here is a video of current system in action...

this might do what you need: Product Description: This switch will open or close the electric circuit when liquid level reaches a specific position. It can be used to activate a pump when liquid level is low, or to open the heating circuit to prevent the damage of the heater. For activating the...

You could put an IR sensor or float valve in which would shut off the relay if the min wart level was off, but I don't think it's worth the trouble.

I'm gonna give this a bump as I'm one of the friends... anyone think the barrel needs more sanitizing, boiling water to eliminate the "hotness" and can we use ECY20 eventually? Thanks all
