As far as how its plumbed, the wort leaves the MT (with false bottom), goes into pump, from pump it goes into HERMS coil(in HLT), comes out and dumps right back into the MT thru my "sophisticated" sparge tube :) or did you want a visual?

it could be anything, isolate the element from your control panel and do a continuity check between your element enclosure(ground) and your live wires on element. if you read infinity, then the problem is in your control panel, then id start with maybe your SSR bleeding into ground thru your...

What brum said... If your troubleshooting any A/C circuit to ground or neutral then you'll troubleshoot all day and drive yourself nuts and most likely never find your problem. You HAVE to measure line to line or (line on line) to find an open especially on anything above 120v. Best way is to...

I've found on my ssr's, if I connect hot to pin1 and element side to pin 2 then my led indicators do not come on when no element is connected. As soon as I reverse the two, my element led turned on about to half it's brightness. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

You might wanna take a close look at some of the lights you bought. For example. U bought 220v lights for your pumps, and your pumps only run at 110v. The other 220v lights you can work with but I would have stayed with 110v. But that's just my opinion. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew
