Oh and I used the HLT to sous vide cook a sirloin tip roast for 36 hours. Best beef Ive ever cooked.

I wanted to give an update if anyone reads this thread later. I wired this system according to my latest diagram. I installed a heavy duty 15amp cord to run to a plug on a 20 amp breaker. Ive done 3 batches on the system so far an everyting has gone great. I bring my total volume of water up...

Makes sense. Newbie concern I guess. I did my first batch on it today and everything came out nicely.. It overshot the temperature in the beginning, but settled out after a few minutes and held between 149-150 for an hour.

Hey Guys, I did a test run on my electric RIMS system and I have an unforeseen problem I was looking for some guidance on. I am using two Light object JLD-612 Temperature Controllers wired according to the manual. When I got the system up and running the PIDs were sending power to the...

Thanks Paul, That all makes good sense. Does this work now? Thanks again! Kevin thanks for the feedback. I see your point. I hadn't planned on running both elements full bore at the same time. I have a 5500w 240v element for the RIMS and a 4500W 240v element for the HLT. I was thinking that...

I've been using two of these aluminum pots for about two years and have been thoroughly happy with it. THey loose their shine after a few boils. But for the cost savings I can deal with it...

AHHH, Okay I thought you meant to use the one DPST instead of two switches. Does this look correct now? Again man, thanks for your help I really appreciate it.

Thanks stlbeer, Ah yes. Rookie mistake on the lights I guess. The double pole switch is an interesting idea, my concern though is if i wanted to run the pump solo( not hooked to the rims), like to filter water or beer would that turn the element on as well? Creating a dry fire... Or do the...

Hi all, Long time reader, but first post. I was hoping someone on here might take a look at this wiring diagram I have put together for the two tier, one pump system. I've looked at a lot of diagrams on the board for reference, as well as read Kal's PDF/book on the electric brewery, but none...
