Yes, they should freeze. Glycerine is used to protect the cells during the freezing process.

I’m looking for a good recipe that I can make an 11 gallon batch, split, and pitch one with a pale ale yeast and the other with a Belgian pale ale yeast. Any suggestions? Thanks

I'll take one

Thanks P-J! This does help. Your wiring diagrams have save me some serious time on my build. Thanks again! Nick

I'm planning on using the following P-J diagram below for my build. I would like to remove the flash buzzer from the set up. To do this, I would just need to remove lines connecting to sites 1,13, and 14 from PID and associated flash buzzer/switch and just have a hot line 1 connecting straight...

I'll take one please

I'm going to use RTDs for controlling temp

I'll take one please!

OK. I'll try to take a stab at diagramming this. I’m sure my diagram will be a complete disaster, so maybe you guys can give me some feedback once I get it together. Here is what I’m going to try to diagram for my Brutus 20 electric setup: Power input: 30 amp GFCI 4 conductor...

P-J quoted the PID input rating. Below are the specs for the SSR I'm planning on using. FEATURES 10-75 amps, 330 Vac max 50-75 amps, 660 Vac max Single phase, zero crossing LED input indicator Clear safety cover included Panel mount DC and AC input versions...

If I'm making a controller box with a 240V/30amp power input for powering the PIDs and heating elements, would it work to use the same power input for powering the SSRs?

How would I do that exactly? Is adding an external power source relatively easy solution, or would it be better to get a PID that controls SSRs?

Dang, I already ordered this PID. I'm new to electronics and thought relay output included solid state relays. Did a little more looking into it after your post and saw relay output does not refer to SSRs. Was Trying to use one of my companies approved vendors rather than getting Auber...

So it looks like both Extech and Auber PID's have an output mode of 12VDC. The SSR I'm planning to us is a Auber 40A, which has a input of 3-32VDC. Looks like I should be OK in regards to the SSR control inputs. Thanks.

Planning on using one PID for a 4500W element in a BK/HLT and one PID for a 2000W element for my RIMS. Will have 40A SSR between PID and heating elements.
