    Simple SSVR-controlled e-BIAB rig

    The LED on the SW1 should only come on when the switch is in the "on" position. I doubt you fried the switch. From what I can tell the switch is mechanical and only makes a physical connection when the button is depressed. I can't see anything in your picture to tell how the switch is wired.

    Simple SSVR-controlled e-BIAB rig

    Have you pulled the meter from your circuit/wiring? I wouldn't leave a device that's been shorted in place or reconnect it.

    Simple SSVR-controlled e-BIAB rig

    On the unit pogden has the terminal screws get connected to the shunt and the molex connector wires get AC voltage. On the more recent units the opposite appears to be true. Look closely at the picture you posted and the picture from pogden and you can see the connectors soldered to the PCB...

    Simple SSVR-controlled e-BIAB rig

    My recollection is that you have it backwards in the questions that you pose in the image. I think the reason for the confusion is that the terminal screws and the molex connectors are reversed between the two versions of the volt/ohm meter. The wire locations are the same between the two...

    Simple SSVR-controlled e-BIAB rig

    The volt/ohm meter that I received was different that the one pictured. The wire leads and the harness connectors were reversed. However, the PCB was labeled correctly and in english if I recall correctly.

    Simple SSVR-controlled e-BIAB rig

    Forgive my ignorance on the 120V contactor, but the wiring diagram shows a 240V contactor. I used a 40A 240V contactor from Auber. Wouldn't the use of a 120V contactor need to be wired differently than the wiring diagram above in order to function as intended? Wouldn't you need to run 120V to...

    Simple SSVR-controlled e-BIAB rig

    I'm hoping to get a brew session in this weekend. I need to wash/clean out my keg a couple more times prior to brewing. I'm still seeing bits of metal in the bottom after my test heating water with the new panel. The panel is located in a detached garage. Happy to no longer be brewing in the...

    Pictures of my build below showing 50% and 100% on the dial. Thanks again.

    Simple SSVR-controlled e-BIAB rig

    Great thread! I just completed a very similar build using mostly Auber parts and the volt/ammeter. I needed to add a 1.5in triclover flange to my keg. Drilling it out and silver soldering was more difficult than expected. Your thread was a huge help!

    OR Homebrew law ALERT!

    Update - The brewer's association is calling for constituents to contact their local House and Senate members urging them to pass this bill: http://maildogmanager.com/page.html?p=0000015Fu8vmrnXFyVUt3h4J+fu2Fp0tRDKDVm&[email protected] Link to Oregon Legislature lookup...

    Ever have a credit card number stolen???

    Bank refunded my money day after the fraudulent transaction posted. I've already made another purchase from AHS using a different card.

    OR Homebrew law ALERT!

    No updates. The legislative website does not have anything related to the comittee hearing either: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/pubs/senmh.html

    OR Homebrew law ALERT!

    Full OR Senate must vote. Then it likely goes to committee in the House, then a full House vote, then the Governor signs. See below, same rules apply to Oregon legislature. http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEJL2Uuv-oQ

    Ever have a credit card number stolen???

    Jumping in on this thread as well. Purchased from AHS on 1/19 and had fraudulent activity on that card on 2/8. It's a card that's rarely used. Card was used to purchase airfare from a South African airline.

    Proposed Style Guidelines. Cascadian Dark Ale

    I'm curious to know why you think they are mostly associated with Oregon? Mt. Rainer is the tallest. Mt. St. Hellens blew up, and Mt. Baker holds the world record for snowfall in a season. All of them are in the State of Washington. I prefer CDA, but it's just a name. The beer is all the...

    Cost vs. Labor - Before I do anything!

    You'd need to consult an individual tax expert, but my understanding of hobby expenses/losses is that you can only write them off up to the amount of your hobby income. Last time I checked legally selling your homebrew isn't easy.

    Places to fill corny keg in Portland, OR?

    I agree with you. I just don't think there is(are) any overriding regulation(s) that would prohibit a brewery from doing so. If there were, they would seem to apply in all sorts of other situations that commonly occur. In the end, I think it's a service that each brewery should be able to...

    Places to fill corny keg in Portland, OR?

    How is it any different than a growler fill? Or a grocery store selling a gallon of milk for that matter? What if I open a bottle of beer, it somehow gets contaminated, I drink and get sick? I could see the breweries seeing it as an increased risk and not wanting to do it, but not a specific...
