    2 PIDs, 1 element, switch control

    I think you have it right. How are you going to handle two sensors? If that's the plan.

    Scorched Pot

    I try to keep things stirred up until the wort begins to boil. When you clean from this batch, try a paste of baking soda and water. I've "wet sanded" really bad messes this way.

    how do I hook up the Love TS2-010?

    Hook up the sensor to terminals 1 and 2. 120-v from line to #7 Jumper #7 to #10 Neutral to #8, along with neutral to the receptacle common Power to the outlet from #11 I would use #12 wire, since the controller will pass 16-amps.

    Keezer cycles every 2 seconds

    It looks like you might be able to fake out the alarm mode to work for you. See table 4; Set the AL1 setpoint for your target temp for the refer unit, say 42-deg. Set the parameter AH1 to the high limit above setpoint, say 45-deg. As for the Bb parameter missing from the controller, I don't...

A dead band (difference between on/off commands) of a degree or so would make the alarm output function just like the OEM temp control does. This would give you some time between compressor cycles...

    Keezer cycles every 2 seconds

    You can use a SSR. You need to set up your controller for digital ( on/off switching) operation, not PID. You should also set a minimum off cycle time of a minute or so, to prevent issues with your refer unit. Short cycling of compressors will cause overloads and possible shortened life. You can...

    Triclamp heater element design

    Nice brazing! I'm gonna try it! I know, off topic a bit.. I have some SafetySilv 1200, from my refer tech days. It's 56% silver, lead free, but safe for brewing? I can make some nice joints with it, but don't want to grow a third eye!:D Update; Harris says that the safety Silv 1200 is the same...

    Sensor locations??

    I've gathered most of the parts for a single tier all electric rig. I'm good with the electrical details, except, I'm not sure where to locate my immersion sensors. I'm planning to have a HLT with a HEX, Rubbermaid Mash Tun, and a Keggle. I have two March 809's; one for hot water, and one for...

    Questions about March Pumps answered by the Factory!

    I have 2 809's without bases. (Synthetic housing) What is an acceptable method to mount the pumps? I'm not using any hard piping. If I did, can the pump hang from it?
