Hi @BrunDog - I appreciate you looking at the file. I checked my variables in my script and my mash temp was set at 150. The exit of the HERMS goes directly to a tee on the MLT. The "Mash Temp" sensor is mounted in that tee. I'll be brewing again this weekend and I'll watch the process a...

The spike before is pre-strike temp (160) and after is mash out (170). The mash time was about 12:30 to 1:30 in the graph. I'm using PT-100 probes from Auber. I would be happy to upload the data file from that time frame but all the files in that folder have the same date and time stamp.

Here is the graph. The temp probe is on my MLT measuring the output from the herms coil as it enters the MLT. Looking at it graphically it doesn't look like such a wide temp swing. I was trying to mash at 150. This was my first run so I learned a ton from it. Just want to make sure my...

My mash was 5 gallons of water with 9 pounds of grain in a 20 gallon kettle and my herms was 8 gallons of water in a 15 gallon kettle. I would guess I’m circulating at approximately 12 quarts a minute (I’m putting in a flow meter today). The HLT is using a 5500 watt heating element.

Hi @GParkins - I followed your build and just completed a similar HERMS build. I’m having issues with my PID setup. I’m using the defaults as suggested by Brundog (30-1-5) but it doesn’t seem to be working as I would expect. As the PID approaches the desired temp is doesn’t reduce the power...

Thanks @augiedoggy. I’ve tried various searches but may have been using too much information. The price from arlene and alice is really good. I’ll probably order from them.

Hi all - I am having trouble sourcing the 30A DP contactors and 25A SSRs for the 30A panel. My preference would be for DIN mount. Does anyone have a source or links to help out since I’ve lost my Google mojo?

I’ve been watching this thread for quite some time and finally decided to pull the trigger and purchase the software. I’m in the very initial stages of building a new brew rig and have been following a number of threads with great interest. I downloaded the software, followed the documentation...
