Hey all, I'm about to take the plunge into brewing with electricity. To start I'm just going to have and electric boil kettle which has the typical 5500w element in it. It will be controlled by the stilldragon controller. I'm assuming it will be pretty easy to scorch wort when adding extract...

Hey all, A friend of mine gave me an Auber SYL-1512A2 PID Temperature Controller and a Crydom SSR. I've wired it up today, it reads temperature but it won't active a plug I wired to turn on if below a certain temp. Any ideas? Here is a crude diagram i just drew up to show how I wired it.

Hey Everyone, I'm Dan. I'm from Winnipeg, Manitoba. I've been homebrewing for about 2 years now. About 8 5-Gal Batches under my belt(including 1 failure). Right now I do mostly extract batches but I'm slowing venturing into partial mashes. This summer I hope to build an all-grain setup...
