I remember reading a few months back about a brewing rig that only used a boil pot and mash tun, does anyone know the name of the system style?

Ah great! Thats what i was wondering about! If PID was on the brewtroller on the board. If i would need to do that, I was confused but alot of you guys today have helped me g et over the mental block i had going on, I understand the rest of the system i was just really curious as to how to power...

im just curious as to how to correctly wire such a relay, assuming the elements draw their own power not exactly a professional electrician

I am unsure as to how I can hook up a brewtroller to command the heat regulation. I'm pretty sure I am going to have to power the elements by them self but how to relay them into the control panel I am confused with. Any help will be greatly appreciated

do you have all of that running threw one PSU? If so what unit are you using. If not are you running your heat and stir arms on a secondary power supply?

Id still love to see your box, as that is something i am more able to reach, soon enough never thought about touch screen integration and all of that, my pc has three monitors and a watercooling system, over clocked and .....blah de blah, defiantly something i can pull off eventually but i like...

....wow. I am still in planning stages, I will be back within in the next two weeks with much needed support :) thank you all for being much more brilliant then I

can I bother you for a completed picture of your box?

very good to know, i plan on starting one of the many purchases that will lead to this very soon. I'll create a post at a correct time, thanks a lot for the support and input

thats where your'e wrong I'm certified in basic C++ and many other languages, thats the easy part, configuring the CORRECT parts is hard, anyone can do it half assed, but i dont want to waste my money

what electric elements do you use? sorry for all the questions this is in fact my biggest hurdle

How do you control heat? valves? or electric heat element?

Just in case this might solve the problem. you are in fact using pressure sensors? that can be why the heat especially when a lid is on changes what it does, water expands with heat and pressure defiantly builds very little, but if the numbers are small then i would hack it up to something along...
