Thanks a lot for info

http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=45 It's writed that you need forced ventilation when AMP is higher than 15. It's why i asked if it could support the HEAT generated by 25 amp. I know that current don't pass through heat sinks. I will put both...

Any one knows if the 25 AMP SSR fits on 40 Amp heat sink at Auber Ins. The 25 amp heat sink only handle 15 AMP.

I tought I read that in the Handbook of brewing, edited by Fergus G. Priest and Graham G Stewart. I seek this info again and i just found a chart of an decoction process, that agitation is shutted off at each decoction. I have benn reading this book when I start brewing. But, i think...

Thanks for info. I'll go with PID + SSR. Maybe, later, i'll go with Arduino set up to also control the RIMS mash tun. If I use an cooler as mash tun, it will allow to shut it off during steps. I read that is preferable to have no agitation during saccharification. I will build a Keezer in...

Does heat sink are bolt on with the pid. Where did you get it. And do I need to ventilate it. What distance between your kettle and your PID??

Why do i need Heat sink.. And, is thermocouple absolutly necessery in manual mode?? And again, how do you fit your elements through your kettle. If someone have some welding experience, is it possible to weld this (http://www.greatbargain.net/order/shop2.html see the 1'' locknut oring) to...

I live in an apartement. I did 8 20L brews on my range, and it suffers from that much weight. It's why i want to go electric. I will unplug the dryer each brew (245V exactly; at 6000W, there's 24,5A through the lines). There's an 30Amp ON/OFF breaker (i dont know the technical name) Does...

I bought an PID temperature controller from Auber Instrument (very cheap and I got no problem) for my fermentation chamber, but it doesn't have the manual mode. Then.. the question is, where do you buy the PID w/manual mode The cheapest for sure!

Damn it... it can only sustain 3A, but there's an other model that sustain 5a... so many deceptions... please help me... And again... a bit of hope.. I found that http://www.dnhindustries.com/asp/lumitron_dimmers.asp

I'm planning to build an electric boiling tun. The plan is to use 2 x 3000W water elements on 240V (245V exactly) and control it manualy. BUT!.. with this amount of amp (24.5A), I can't use an ordinary rheostat. Some guys here in the forum seems to use an PID thermostat, but i don't figure how...

This was my first setup. Not really safe. I use an large rubber-maid container to rinse first, then I wash in the sink. For boilling, I simply put the cauldron over two heating elements (that's not good for your range).

We can purge the inner copper coil with tap water without unpluging or pluging anything

cheaper than the original
