I do that but this is a little more strange. Let me try to get a video soon and see if I can post it.

Brewed my first all grain today. Was in mid boil and then suddenly my burner started to whistle and the pressure was very low and barely working. I checked to see if not enough pressure, wasn't it. Shut it off, regulator and tank and disconnected regulator to see if it was the saftey feature...

Well please give me some recommendations. I am well open to ideas. Thanks!

Awesome, thanks for the great advice. Don't know why I assumed I would put it underneath lol

Will be lining the inner side of the wood with aluminum. I can show a design for it. Don't have the tools or experience to weld and wood will be cheaper. Also, have been doing research on more fire retardant type sealants/paints.

Well great, i appreciate it. I still may switch out the NC e-stop with a on/off switch. Thank you for the help. You guys are great help. Even if it was correct in the beginning I now understand SSR's and contactors :fro:

I don't quite know what you mean.... I think you are saying move the switch box from underneath in case water or whatever spills.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had another thread running and we have come to a good solution. I'll post an update later on! Cheers!

Thank you for the quick response, I really appreciate the help. I'm actually studying Electrical Engineering but we don't cover a lot of things like these which is interesting, mostly focus on power electronics. I just searched the schematics of an SSR and now I get how it works - haha. Kept...

Thank you for the help, I really appreciate it. However, I have a few questions... Why use a SSR vs a contactor? If I use a SSR, wont I need a heatsink/fan combo or some sort of cooling system? I am now thinking I may just use a ON/OFF switch instead of the e-stop because it will essentially...

Could I use this? Relay Does this allow for 120VAC input? I was thinking I could do this:

Great... well from what I see, what I could do (if I really need to) is put a on/off switch that is connected to the coil so that when I turn the switch it will apply electricity to the coil and pull down the pole and allow for current to flow. I could really eliminate the e-stop and just do an...

Okay this is more what I was thinking! I could replace it with a simple system on/off key. Just thinking in case something is happening and I freak out and need to just hit a button and turn it all off quickly. I believe the e-stop is a turn to release. So you think I will not need a contactor...

Fantastic! I thought the Emergency Stop was a NC switch... but I need to review. What contactor would you suggest using and how exactly does that work. I will begin researching on it but any info helps from someone who knows it better. Also, if you happen to know the forum you are speaking...

Hey all, Been planning my single tier brewing system and I will have 2 march pumps (Both 110 volts). So I will be building a switch controller with an emergency stop (just in case). I am not super experienced with wiring, I understand the components and such but just haven't had the chance to...

SORRY! May have realized I am in the wrong forum!!

To give an idea of what I am doing with my brewing system. This will utilize 2 - 18" propane burners with two march pumps controlled by the switching module. I will also have all SS Brewing Technology (HLT/MT/BK). And a plate chiller which is not in these designs. Any suggestions welcome.

It can raise it that much? WOW. Well at least I know I wont be using moonshine again lol. So far not a fan of the grapefruit peel either lol. How much grapefruit/juice are you using and how big of a patch? I would like to make one after Ballast point grapefruit sculpin. That is a good one...

It wasn't very light i would say. It was extract. 6 lbs liquid gold malt with a 3 lb late addition. Caramel 20 and cara 20 steeping grains... northern brewer grapefruit pulpin. Hope that it goes away in aging. I have read that the more alcohol present the more oil it will withdraw from the peel...
