Pick me...tia.

Thought if anyone wanted a head start on a Ferm chamber I would pass this along. Found it on CL in the free section: http://sandiego.craigslist.org/ssd/zip/2600935963.html

please continue!

Hook it up!

I have never done a cold crash before but it sounds like something I would like to do as I am used to getting thick yeast cakes at the bottom of my bottles. I understand what cold crashing does, however I want to make sure that if I cold crash before bottling, my yeast will still re-activate...

Sorry for the late response. Yes I used TinyCad. It took a couple minutes to learn and then it was easy, and like EarthBound said...ITS FREE! Thanks Walker I will make sure to swap out one hot for the neutral.

Thanks guys! I will make those changes.

http://i378.photobucket.com/albums/oo223/andersnelson/CPanelDiag.png Ok here is my next crack at a cpanel diagram. Sorry about the SSR symbol...it was the only one that came with the program. I simplified this one again to make sure I had the fundamentals taken care of. I may try to add a...

I was using WBerry's suggestion from the second post and added the breakers inside the box, however inline tube fuses were also suggested...and I may go that rout anyway. I will work on tracking down actual diagrams for the different switches so that I can actually show where the wires will...

Sorry it is hard to understand. What I did was this: -Two hot lines going in (red and black) -Then I ran a line from the incoming black line to the switch which then goes back to the DPDT to control the open or close state of the switch. -Added a neutral line since it will need one. -after the...

Ok I THINK I made the correct changes. Again, the temp probes are missing. I added breakers inside the box, three DPDT switches, an e-stop, a new RIMS element and a 3 pos maintained selector switch to only allow either the BK or HLT element to be on at any one time. Thanks again...

Thanks for the discussion guys! P-J I will take your advice and move to a 240volt element in my RIMS tube. I will post an updated diagram when I figure out how I am going to fuse the inside of the control panel. Thanks again!

well, I definitely want to keep it safe. Maybe I will run the RIMS element and maybe the pumps from a separate 120V 20A service. Seems like it would work.

No worries Wberry, I am here to learn. milldoggy, I think I am missing something. Should I only try to pull 80% of the 30 amps at any one time? I did look through Kals site. Ah ok I see now. So to add a 40 amp service is that as simple as installing one in my fuse box?

right but I wont be running my BK element with any other element. The HLT element is a 240V 3000 watt element.

Thanks everyone. I do plan on running my HLT and RIMS elements at the same time. They should draw about 25 amps together so that should be ok right? Wberry, thanks for the suggestions. It will take me a bit of time to digest that and do some more research but I will post back when I refine...

I believe he was reading that with his mind in the gutter...

So I think I am ready to move from extract to AG and I am in the process of accumulating parts for a single tier electric setup. I was wondering if people would mind looking at the diagram I put together and let me know what I am missing or overlooking. There are a couple things to know about...
