Thank you very much!

I love the mats that you have under the kettles and on the bottom shelf. Do you happen to remember where you got them from, or do you have the measurements?

Getting ready to brew another batch on the newly converted system. This will be an American Stout this time. This is batch number three. So far things have gone really well with the other batches. Also going to add a steam condenser. I have it built but still not ready to use it since I have...

Well, things went pretty smooth other than self-inflicted issues due to too much talking. Very happy with how everything went.

Maiden brew day this evening with the all electric conversion. Fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly. Brewing a 15 gallon batch of Amber Ale.

So I purchased a 6" temp probe and that has defiantly took care of the issue. Thanks

Thanks, I will have to take a look and see what I can do to shorten the distance between the element and tip of the temp sensor.

I have been playing with the new controllers to attempt to learn them since they are a lot more detailed than my old PID controllers. I have been testing with just water and it seems that the mash temp is overshooting more than I think it should. If I have the mash temp set for 152, I have seen...

So, I have the control panel wired up and have put power to it and it seems to be working as it should. Going to have to figure out how to use the new EZBoil controlers compaired to my old PID controllers. Hopefully do a test run with just water in the next week or two.

I guess if I needed to go to that extent of installing a new grounding rod I would just spend the extra money on the 6/4 SOOW cord. I think I will go with the 6/4 SOOW cord since going the other router is not a huge cost savings especially when you look at how much money goes into building a...

I know the drawing states 6 AWG but can i get away with an 8 AWG on the ground? The reason I ask is I can get an RV 50 amp cord a lot cheaper then the 6/4 SOOW cord.

Well progress is being made, slow but, progress. DIN rail blocks still need to be confirmed since I know some changes need to be made as well as I'm going to have to add a few more but, still waiting for them to be delivered. Added a few things to the original plan as well. I added a Timer PID...

Thanks @SanPancho, Adding the lid seems to have taken care of the problem. So far it seems so much better.

This is such a simple fix and I never even thought about it. I will give this a try. The bucket I'm using has lids that I can drill a hole into for the tubes.
