I'm still not having any luck, unfortunately. Everything checks out. My wiring job is probably a 6/10 on organization so I think I'm just going to un-do it all and go at it again, try to clean things up a bit and inspect the wire casings. I'm wondering if I have a small cut/tear somewhere and...
Update, I swapped the SSR for another one I had laying around and it too went bad (popped the internal breaker) as soon as I flipped it's corresponding element switch on. The contactor did not immediately go bad though.
So then I figured I either have some bad SSRs or something is wrong with...
Taking this advice I believe I have sourced the issue to a bad (and cheap - i.e. cheaply made) SSR. The SSR on the side of the element that is causing the flip appears to always have conductivity despite the fact that it should be closed unless the input tells it to open.
So, easy fix, I'll...
This is awesome, thank you - it did not even cross my mind to check that there is NO conductivity where there shouldn't be. I have largely checked for conductivity where there should be but this increases my confidence in that procedure so I will go back through a bit more thoroughly and heed...
Thank you, Bobby_M and BrunDog for the replies and willingness to help.

There is actually no switch between the contactor coils - both are able to be engaged simultaneously per this particular system design. Instead there are individual switches that turn on each...
Looking for some help troubleshooting my build.
I have sourced the parts for this build and am having an issue with one of the 32a breakers and 25a contactors.

One of them is just fine, the heating elements fire and heat quickly and...
We chatted a bit via text from Reddit, but just wanted to follow up here in case you do decide to part it out. I am in KC.
I would be interested in hoses, all quick disconnect fixtures, pumps, hop stopper/blocker, grain mill (if available) and immersion chiller.
Thanks!
Sorry, I missed that someone had already claimed the fermenter. If you have a good counterflow wort chiller and/or a hop stopper/blocker, I'd go for those as well.
Thanks!
If you end up parting, I'd love to make an offer on the hoses, quick disconnect fixtures and pumps. Maybe even the conical and a grain mill if you have one.
Thanks!
If you're willing to ship, I'd be incredibly grateful and would take the hoses and all quick disconnect fittings. If you have a hopstopper and if bootlegCraig doesn't take the pump(s) same story there! These are literally the last things I need for my system!!!
