looks great! The black iron with that wood is a great match.

after looking closer at the manual I did not have a "A" in front of my value. I hit manual mode, the light came on but I did not press "set" first. I'm feeling pretty dumb right now I just tested it and I'm able to control the output. A extra SSR laying around won't hurt though. Auggiedoggie I...

I will check my values when I get off work. I know my pid values are default. A new ssr should be here in a day or so also. Geoffey did you have a wire crossed to make yours go bad?

Yes I hit the manual button and the indicator light comes on and stays on until I turn back off manually.

I changed the duty cycle to 1 but it still doesn't slow the boil. When the bottom green number is at 0 in manual it's still boiling just as hard is it possible the ssr is bad?

Thanks I will change it a see what happens.

I can take it to the lowest setting and it doesn't seem to change the amount of heat.

I'm having trouble controlling my boil in manual mode. I've searched and can't figure out how to slow my boil, I'm boiling off 2 gallons an hour and this is lowest I can seem to get. Any link or suggestions would help I am using a keggle with 5500 w element.

im just outside Cairo trying to get back in brewing this would be cool.

Yes thank you all. I'm going to install some breakers after the spa panel. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

is the spa panel protection the only protection needed or do you need breakers in the panel also? I've seen both just wondering if the spa panel is enough protection?

I used a old cookie sheet drilled holes for for the studs and mounted the rest of the components on the sheet. cheap and easy
