@doug293cz Thank you. This was exactly what I needed. I agree that my diagram is extremely rudimentary. I looked for design software like what you must have used above but struggled to find one for the hobbyist. I will take what you have said above into account. Cheers :mug:

Hello All. I'm putting together a controller that has relays, SSDs and contactors in it. From the diagrams I'm seeing online, most have the power going from source -> main contactor -> breaker -> SSD -> secondary contactor -> plug. Is there any harm in having the breaker, SSD & secondary...

BrunDog, thank you! My feed is indeed a L14-30 but I couldn't draw curved lines and the L-shaped ground was backwards now that you pointed it out. No matter though because your comment helped me figure it out! The cord I'm using between the wall outlet (a 14-30 dryer outlet) and the enclosure...

Thank you both for your replies. I made a mistake in my diagram. Both of the grounds on the SSRs go back to the pi hat - so back to the 5v power supply. Fixed image below. Sorry about that. The GFCI breaker has the neutral wire from the circuit going into the breaker right between the two hots...

Hello All, I have been working on a custom brew controller based on a craftbeerpi and am running into an issue with my setup tripping my GFCI breaker. Background: I have an Avantco IC3500 induction burner I'm using for the boil side and a Blichmann RIMS Rocket for the mash. The circuit shown...

My 2 cents: For the probe, get a shorter probe/thermowell. I've had to do this on my setup and a shorter probe - preferably one with rounded end - work fine with a BIAB bag. I wouldn't use the spin cycle for the recirculating mash. You want the wort to go through the grain bed and it will...

Very interesting project! Please keep posting with more details on the build.

Great job so far! I'm following with wrapped interest on what the future has in store for you. I'm a fellow induction brewer on an Avanto 3500 but I would really love to swap it out for something that I can control the mash better with. Thank you for such an involved thread. I think Thing1 is a...

I really like the tap tower you used and the over ambiance of the setup!

I posted about my kegerator over in the DIY section but realized that some might not follow that thread/subforum/section, so I thought a single pic and the video would suffice over here. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/island-kegerator-project.662186/

So this project started as many projects do for married men. Our kitchen had an open space in it. My wife wanted an island and, as a homebrewer, I wanted a kegerator. As I wanted harmony in our home, I came up with a plan to make an island and a kegerator. What you see here is the result. The...

USA!

That very topic has been discussed on this thread (I can't find the exact post number at this moment). It is unsafe to mount the tank sideways as the pressure relief valve on the regulator is not built to handle the liquid co2.

Very nice! Good luck in all your brewing. :mug:

Yes please!
