Every morning I get this email and I grab my phone in a panic haha

Got the buzzers, the correct lamps, the 63a contactor and the 2 pole 32a breakers ;)

Doug, do you have any 30a breakers you recommend or like? Oh, and one question I do have with this safe wiring setup. If I did accidentally start up the system with a switch left on, does that blow the 1a fuse requiring replacement before I can run the system again?

These are the PID's, I already have 4 of them purchased. https://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=3 I would go with option 3. Four alarm indicators with no switches.

Oh, and Doug. This is the exact Amp/Voltmeter I picked up. Just want to make sure I give you accurate info. https://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_50&products_id=490

As you should be, it's very well thought out. My wife and I are expecting our first baby in August, so safety is the top priority when working with this much power. ;)

Could we add that to the changes your making in the schematic?

Thank you for the advice @GParkins. I ordered the biggest enclosure they had on auber instruments. https://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34&products_id=430 I have faith in my friend who is going help me with wiring it up. He works on generators for a living, so he is...

I figured seeing everything power on would be a good indication that there is power. If I turn the key and things don't turn on I figure it would be due to either my emergency shut off switch, or a button/selector was left in the on position? Oh well, I guess I can just keep the power on lamp...

Doug, you sir, are amazing! I will order 2 of the recommended indicator lights. Alright, so then the only two changes I will go with from your original schematic will be: 4 PID's - each will have it's own alarm (this requires me to buy the fewest parts, and I like that it will let me set...

oh, and most schematics I've seen have terminals somewhere in the equation. Is this something that is needed for your schematic too?

Doug, thank you very much again for all your time and effort. I wish the communication wasn't only through text so you would know all of my responses are not intended to question or undermine your advice, they are coming from inexperience. I am super stoked to have you here and taking time out...

Alrighty, that makes sense, I'll mull it over and I really appreciate your time. (I've been refreshing this page constantly for your reply) Either way I'm excited to be making progress in getting this thing put together. So a follow-up question for you Doug, would running all pumps and...

To be honest, the safe start circuitry for these toggle switches seems kind of trivial to me since I will be able to tell so clearly if they are in the on or off position. I can see why that would be helpful for a push button though. But I think I see where the issue is, based on what you're...

Wow! This is so cool that you are the one responding, I feel like I'm meeting a celebrity. I can't tell you how many times my google searches have come to a thread in here that you were helping to answer. Ah, gotcha! And I'm guessing this is why your schematic didn't having one included...

Almost forgot to show off the keggles!

ok, so I just got back home, did nothing else other than hit "create thread" again and it worked... Thanks for looking into it, though!

Hey guys, I have recently decided it's time to bring the E-Herms dream to life and have hit a bit of a snag. I am by no means an electrician and I am having one heck of a time trying to find exactly what I need to power this puppy, since I want to be able to run both elements and pumps at the...

It's still not working. I am making a post for help with a control panel. It has a few links to some parts I ordered, and a link to an image of a schematic. I try to post it and I get an error says the content I am trying to post is now allowed. Could it be it is too long? Are links not...

I am trying to post a thread in the electric brewing section and I just get a message that says "the content you are posting is not allowed". It is giving me no indication what I'm doing wrong. Any pointers?
