Hello all,
I'm seeking some guidance on ordering and wiring my e-herms.
First, let me describe to you what my vision is. I'm looking to make a 2 PID, 2 pump e-herms controlled by "THE" control panel. I am using two 10 gallon round coolers for the HLT and MLT, and a 10 gallon SS pot for the boil kettle. I have no desire for 10 gallon batches at this point so this is it. My fiance and I are currently renting our home, so i'm not looking to mess with the circuit breaker of the house. Right now all I have is a 120v 15a circuit in the garage. I will continue to use propane for the boil. I really have 7 goals for the control panel.
1. The first PID to manage the 1500 watt heating element in the HLT.
2. The second PID should monitor the temperature of the wort coming out of the MLT during the mash re-circulation I would like the PID output to control the alarm/flashing buzzer if the temperature gets out of range.
3. Control pump 1 and pump 2 via push buttons
4. Be able to directly override the 1st PID to turn on/off the heating element with 2-way switch
5. Be able to turn on/off the alarm/buzzer direction with 2-way switch
6. Have indicator lights that tell me when there is power to the heating element and when the power is to the control panel.
7. Be able to turn on/off the power to the control panel by the Emergency stop button.
I have compiled and attached a list of all the items I think I need with prices. If you see anything missing or that isn't needed please let me know.
Thanks for any and all help.
