WLP-810, San Francisco lager yeast used at its higher end 65 will still end up very clean, this is the yeast Anchor steam uses in its California common. I've used it to mave some really nice American "lager-ish beers. there are at least two Brewery's I know of down here that are using it to brew...

Late reply but...The star pattern is basically terminating all the grounding lines to one point. I have to tell you this was a challenge with my set up! For the most part I have the system up and running. After a lot of testing and swapping out relays. what I eventually figured out was the SSR...

The program is set up for people already working full time so the classes are in the evening and weekends. 18 months is about what it is intended to take. Im sure you can figure out a way to do it a little faster but I think you would be doing your self a disservice. In my opinion the class...

Little update, I have swapped out the SSR, now the boil kettle element is functioning properly. I also rewired the grounding in a star pattern, but that has not resolved the 7 segment display issue. Because it really only happens when the contractors are being engaged, I think Im going to swap...

Thanks for the input, I definitely think Brun Dog is on to it with regards to the 7-segement displays. I set up a ground bus, and did not use a star pattern. As for the element, Im suspecting the SSR is the problem, but will check all the connections to. With this build I used a ratcheting...

Crickets eh? Thinking a 12V DC relay for the elements might do the trick. with the displays. still need to swap out the ssrs running the element.

Yesterday was the first brew day on my new system, this will be the third panel I have built and was really happy with the way it came together this time. I added a few more bells and whistles this time though, and have run into a little bit of a issue that has me scratching my head. First...

Um...Kinda. We served beer at NHC this year...sort of. We like to think of ourselves a zombie club, just when you think we are dead... I think the web site expired a while back, when Grhemlyn moved.

they are NTE 30A contractors 120VAC, I had them in my old control panel so I modified them to mount on to the DIN rails. They are a bit bulky and about $30 each. I might swap them out eventually, but they work great. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000JJM7ZS/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Correct! In the summer here in SD, the best I can do with tap water is 80-85, so first pass through the CFC gets me to 80, the second pass through the CFC#2 is with ice water to get me to 65-68. Im working on automating it too on this system.

This is my latest system Im building, should test fire it up next week. Its all wired up and continuity tested, and BCS460 is all connected and functioning so I'm hoping for a smooth wet test. Three 809 pumps, two 5500 watt elements an one 220vac march AC4 pump for CIP, I added two seven...

Cool, Thanks. Yes I have them all tied to the earth ground not the neutral (green not white). I did a few searches and this seemed to be the way to do it.

Hi All, Been building my new system for the past few months, and am done with the High voltage connections and am finishing up the wiring for all the low voltage controllers, All the high voltage AC power is grounded to the same bus, and was wondering if there is a problem with grounding all...

shiny!

Thanks Kal, after disassembling my panel, a could tell it was "a)" that was the problem at the inlet. I could see where the un even cut of the wires was causing an arc and damaging the connection. So I'm making sure I have square cuts and the proper length strip with this build. I'll look in to...

So I took apart the old panel and started re wiring the new panel. I bought a pair of ratcheting crimper and a wire striper and am paying close attention to the striping of the wires to there proper lengths and trimming them neatly, so there are no stray wires or un-even cuts. as well as the...

Thanks trimix, that's a good summery.

That makes sense, but I was referring to tinning the wires that go in to the Outlets and terminal blocks. The post and screw connections will just get crimps. Just bought the ratcheting crimper, and am looking a heat shrink terminals too. Im hopeful I can get this re-built in a week or so...

Cool ratcheting crimper , That sounds like a good thing to get for the new build. I was never happy with the crimper I was using, but did not know how to test the connection, other than giving it a slight tug. Guess I look in to that. So what Im getting here, is 10 gauge AC rated wire should...
