Holy steal of a deal, batman. You are making some lucky person very happy.

Man, I wish I had an electrician in the family. That would help tremendously for this build. Good point about the GFCI stove/dryer thing. Though, after spending a year reading electric brewing builds threads and advice, I've been sufficiently conditioned to require a gfci. :) You're right...

There's room in there for the ssvr with heatsink. And maybe a flush mount plug receptacle. Everything seems like it'll fit, as long as there's no issues with electrical noise or interference (or anything else I know nothing about.:o) I was hoping if there are any problems with this, one of...

Actively converting to electric, and though I would love to have the money and time to do a full on Kal, I'm working on the cheap here. My system will be simple 2 vessel, 1 pump, 1 5500w element. No PID, just ssvr. My question is this - any problems mounting potentiometer and ssvr/heatsink in...

So this is what I have. Probably not rated for it?

I see what you read. I missed that the first time through. But the chart below that for 800t-xa contactors says very different operational load ratings. This is what I'm confused about.

I scored me a few switches for my future control panel. Allen Bradley 800t-j2. They came with mounted 800t-xa contactor blocks. My plan is to use the 3 postion on/off/on switch to allow power to only one 5500w element at a time. My understanding was - use selector switch to control 240v...

Yes. Received mine on Monday.

Thanx a ton. Great deal for anyone gather parts for ebrew.

Thanx everyone for the responses. Though I'm sure there is ample science regarding the tongue and taste perception, receptors, etc., I don't think I'm gonna get too deep into that as it doesn't seem all that practical for me at this point. Thanks for the info though - very interesting stuff...

Ha Ha. Sorry, posted the wrong recipe. That was a garbage recipe, thought it had been deleted. Yup that's a bit too much crystal:drunk: The actual recipe is 8oz of ruby and crystal 60. That Cara Ruby has great color. And no, the actual recipe is not too sweet. Edited original post. I...

Ah hell, might as well post the water report as well. I don't see too many water profiles like mine posted here. Maybe someone may be interested in commenting on it. Thanks for taking a look by the way. I have learned an incredible amount on these forums, I just don't post often...
