Hi guys, I ordered some mypin ta4's and didnt realize i was shipped RNR (125vac) instead of SSR (3-32 vdc) Not sure if anyone has posted this hack, but all of the mypin are basicaly the same on the exterior, so by removing a relay on the inside you can easily user it to control your SSR without...

Located in Ontario, Canada. A willow way stainless steel jacketed tank. Was used for heating maple syrup and as a mash tun for home brewing. The original thermostat was thrown out and replaced with a PID/ SSR controlled heating element with a type K thermo. Draws 15 amps max and has a key...

Ordered one from stilldragon, thanks for all of the Input !

Have a 2" ferrule I want to put a radius on so I can silver solder it to a boiler.. Only need to take off about 1/4"... Use Something like 100 grit ??

Anyone know what grit of metal sandpaper to use when trying to put a radius on a ferrule ?

I'm thinking now of going the electric brewery route, with a box enclosure, but wondering how you attach a ferrule to these things ? I've seen pictures online but can't get a really good idea how to fasten a 1.5" or 2" ferrule to it, with a 1" element threaded inside.... Any thread links would...

I'm going cross eyes looking for a post on this .. Can someone point me in the right direction so I can make some stainless steel "ferrule" element guards like they sell at stilldragon ? Is it simply a long ferrule soldered to some type of threaded end cap (name of this 1" female threaded cap)...

Tanks were from a local winery, but from talking to people in the wine industry, they have cheap tanks everywhere. Find a winery and call them up, they are always selling off old stuff.

I wouldn't call yourself cheap... Let's say frugal ?? Call up any winery on the planet and they usually are selling off their equipment for larger stuff. I just missed out on 10- 80gal. Stainless wine tanks @ $200 each !!! With floating lids/hand pumps and air locks.... Is there any reason not...

Hi Guys, Been wondering why people are spending $500 and up on small brew kettles and stock pots for electric brewing when you can get massive, used, stainless steel wine fermenting tanks for a fraction of the price?? any reason not to use them for just HLT & MASH ??

looks good ! if you want to test it with your meter, put your meter on A/C, put the black - probe on the green ground coming into the SSR, put your + red probe on the -2 output of the SSR. Plug it in and crank your potentiometer up. should say 120v or 220v depending on what you are set up for...

Does anyone have the time to make me a wiring diagram? I basically need to power (1) 240v-3000w element and have it work through a temperature controller with a temp. probe. (recommendation on temp. controller please) all im trying to do is keep a liquid in a tank steady at 190F. do I need SSR...
