    120v Dual Element (one at a time) PID Controller Questions (and then hopefully build)

    Alright, I got the wiring complete and everything sealed up. All that's left is to replace the regular house outlet with a gfci 20A outlet. And then a test run. Wiring all done! In place With the whole rig

    Awesome, that is what I was thinking. Thanks so much! Hopefully I'll have it up an running in a day or two.

    120v Dual Element (one at a time) PID Controller Questions (and then hopefully build)

    So I'm about halfway done with the wiring. But I've come across a question I can't find an answer too. I'm working on E-stop (based on the 1st pj design above) and am now wondering what gauge wire to run for the hot line. I'm guessing that 14 gauge thhn should be enough, since it's running thru...

    120v Dual Element (one at a time) PID Controller Questions (and then hopefully build)

    Yes. The screws are for the contractors, and terminal strip. The housing is an old cash register drawer. The front is what used to be the top. It already had a bunch of holes drilled in it. And the back (old bottom) is much thinner metal. So that's the way it worked out. It's actually kind of...

    So life got in the way, but everything is painted and attached now. All that is left is to install the wiring and labeling. All cut and partly sanded Primed After the second coat Cured and all components installed, except the heatsink

    I got all the parts in today. I'm gonna start cutting the panel tonight, and hopefully get it painted tomorrow.

    120v Dual Element (one at a time) PID Controller Questions (and then hopefully build)

    Thanks, iijakii that's what I was thinking. I went ahead and ordered the parts from Auberins today based on the 2nd diagram, except in 120V. The only differences are that I went with the 120V 30A contractors, selector switches instead of push buttons with separate LED indicator lights, and a...

    120v Dual Element (one at a time) PID Controller Questions (and then hopefully build)

    P-J, After much digging I finally found one of your diagrams that is almost exactly what I need except it is in 220V, and has an extra pump. I am fairly confident I can wire this up as a 120V instead, I have a couple quick questions. 1) What type of contractors would I use the 30A 120V or the...

    Hello from Albuquerque

    Thanks for the welcome. Not so far, I make it up there fairly often. In fact I think I'm gonna be heading up to check out the Colorado malting co. later his month. Yeah I started with a batch every month, then every other week. Now every week I get two done in a day. I've got a lot of thirsty...

    Attn: P-J, maybe you have done this before but I can not find it so… My current setup is a double keggle system, one for the hot liquor tank and one for the boil kettle, with a 10 gallon water cooler mash tun and a March pump. I have a single 2000w heating element in each keg, which...

    Hello from Albuquerque

    Hello all, This is my first post here, but I have been a long time lurker. I have been brewing for 4 years or so, mostly extract and mash-extract batches. I have probably a hundred or so batches under my belt. I appreciate all styles but prefer the lighter side of the scale, lagers and extra...
