    Setting duty cycle on a INKBIRD PID ITC100VH

    Hi, I've posted here before about getting my PID adjusted right. It holds temperature in the HLT great, but gives too much power (5500w element) during the boil causing boilovers, even when using fermcap. Anyone know how to set duty cycle on an Inkbird? thanks

    Another question about boiling with a PID

    Which setting is duty cycle? I have the Inkbird PID

    Another question about boiling with a PID

    Thank you for your advice in my previous post about SSRs. I started a a new thread because that one seemed to take a different direction. I swapped out my relay and its working great now. I cannot seem to maintain a boil with my PID. The duration it keeps the element on is just too long to...

    First electric build Relay/element won't switch off.

    Hi all, I have set up an electric keggle in the style of thelectricbrewery.com. I have a 240v 5500 watt low density heater element plugged into my Inkbird PID with 40A SSR relay with heatsink and the included Type K thermocouple (all purchased as a kit from Amazon. Between the controller and...

    Fermentation CHamber reached 15 degrees above ambient. Too big?

    Thank you for the reply. Do you think the 78 degrees ruined the beer? it wasn't for more than 6 hours or so, but it was during the most vigorous phase of fermentation

    Fermentation CHamber reached 15 degrees above ambient. Too big?

    There is ice on the inside coils of the fridge, and my inkbird temperature probe taped to the side of the bucket said 78 degrees. A window AC unit was going to be my next move, and now I wish I went with it in the first place as it seems to make more sense. With your 8000 BTU model, how...

    Fermentation CHamber reached 15 degrees above ambient. Too big?

    I've built a fermentation chamber that is 5'x'3'3' with a minifridge for cooling and a 250 watt heat lamp for heating. Temperature is controlled by the Inkbird ITC-308, which seems to work great. the frame is built with 2x4s, and R9.8 insulation covered up with half-inch OSB. PICTURES HERE...
