Hello all. I have read a lot of information on your forum since starting brewing in February. So far I love this hobby but my current method is poor to say the least. I built a heat stick (1500w mwd) last month and brewed 3 batches for a work get together for the end of may and when kegging the first one I noticed a scorched flavor. 17 gallons down the toilet. That hurt.
So I decided if I was going to do electric I may as well do the whole system...
I wanted to post my build here since there r a ton of build on your forums but none, that I have found, quite like this. And I am going to have questions the entire way so may as well have them all in one place.
I am going to be using a 10 gallon SS multipot as a BIAB system so I will only have 1 vessel for mashing and boiling. I plan to use a pump to recirculate mash.
I thought I would start with the control panel since it seems, to me at least, to be the hardest and most expensive part.
I want to try and keep the cost low but want it to be safe and durable.
Here is my wiring diagram. What do you think? What changes do I need to make?
Other questions:
1. What amp should switch b to pid?
2. What is a cheap controller I can use for the pump flow?
3. Can I use the same ground for the 15a gfci (heat stick for sparge water and maybe to expidite mash to boil time)?
Thank you for any and all help
