I'm working on building my own as well. So far it has been a lot of fun. And if you're near a hackerspace, there are a lot of people there who would probably really enjoy helping you out.

Yeah, that's a little big for 120V. Good to hear that there's hope left for fixing my leak! Luckily it's just a test bucket. I'm going to have another go at it this weekend. I'll post with an update. The heating element is 1500W. Also, the o-ring is on the outside of the can, per...

I would say send it back. Probably excited to get started, but it looks like it's meant to go in all the way. And it should definitely not be bent.

Planning on a small EBIAB setup with a 120V control panel. I'm still not quite sure how well 120V will do with 1 gallon batches. I'll have to boil 2 gallons. But I figure it's worth a shot.

You're right to connect your transformer to the Power terminals. However, the timer doesn't place any voltage across the contacts. Use terminals 4&5 as a 12VDC supply and connect the contact in series with the solenoid. Check out this picture of an SSR as a reference. Remember though, you're...
