Hey all,
I have been very slowly piecing a new brewing system together, and have been recently focused on the controller. Its a eHERMS system, with 2 5500W heating elements and 2 pumps. I am planning on using a CraftBeerPi system with a 7 inch touchscreen for the "brains". I have been doing a ton of reading, as electrical work is not my forte. As such I was hoping to get some feedback from those with a little more experience.
I kinda tried to combine the basic concept outlined by the Electric Brewery website with what I've read about CraftBeerPi builds. I designed SSRs in series with EMRs to avoid an closed failure of the SSRs (seems to be common enough to worry about). I also included indicator lights for each load, which a lot of people didnt do but I though might be nice. Would probably use some small LEDs instead.
Any thoughts? Blaring errors? Constructive criticism is more than welcome.
Thanks in advance
