Looking to build a small panel for a future RIMS build. I have a few requirements.
1. Be able to use either a 120v or 240v power source.
- Brew indoors during winter, garage on 240 during summer.
2. Use a 5500w element for the RIMS, switchable between wattage. 240 to heat sparge / strike water, 120v for recirculation.
3. That same circuit should also allow for either PID or PWM with a selectable switch to run either or. PID for RIMS, PWM for BK.
4. This circuit should only have one output, I will switch kettles manually.
5. Disconnect on the RIMS heat source. Prevent dry firing of element. (Nice to have but not neccessary.
I have seen some diagrams that get very close to what I want, but nothing exact. Mainly the switchabilty between voltages. This will be one or the other, I don't plan on running 120v and 240 at the same time, other than powering a pump.
I'm open to all ideas!
