    Thank you! This is a great reference.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Ugh I struggled with something similar a few days ago. I actually just started naming similar things with BTN, TMR, SW, etc appended to the end: something like "Fill Vessels SW" Glad you got it fixed. Time to relax and have a beer!

    Anyone want to show off details of their antenna uFL-SMA?

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    So as I start to wire the DC side. I plan to wire the 5V power supply '-' to my incoming neutral GND, and to the GND on the MEGA. The MEGA is running off USB for the time being, so I assume the Vin pin should be left empty so I don't buck 5V from the PSU to the USB 5V? Once I switch over to a...

    240VAC and 120VAC wiring prints. I didn't put the SSRs in yet... have to generate the MEGA2560 in AutoCAD...

    I just realized that my main contactor and breaker are sized for 25A. Sigh. Ordered 32A breaker and 63A contactor from Electric Brewing Supply.

    I saw this done on Kal's build as well. I have a gland plate I could easily modify to install sinks.... I just don't want to run 10awg across the panel and down. The sides are too crowded as well. I will see if there is something easier.

    Yeah, I figured using a standard SSR you would use a PID output configured for Duty Cycle, as defined in the BruControl Manual. PWM would be for a variable SSR. Also, an implementation of a 3-Position switch would be great.

    All the PIDs I have used for temp control, work and hobby, use duty cycle. PWM seems kind of cool, you could essentially regulate your output wattage.

    Couldn't you set the PID to say 250F then just scale your max output? Dumb question as well, why is there a need for both PWM and Duty Cycle? (my setup is just using standard SSR)

    Yes sorry! I have them quoted at about $1900, but they have some severe markup on elements and fittings. So its closer to $1750. Let me update the main post.

    Hey all, Looking for recommendations on 3 Vessel eHERMS. I am looking for a 5 gallon setup, similar to what is used in Kal's "The Electric Brewery" I am building my panel at the moment, and my setup will run on BruControl. My requirements would be. 10gal BK - Ability to whirlpool. 1 Element...

    Yeah I wish I got a larger panel. Not sure where to move the SSRs? I planned to install the intake fan close to them. I think I could move the contactors the the second DIN rail.

    For anyone on the fence on a BrewPi build.... these things are PRECISE. ±0.25°F !!!! I am running the default settings. 25W heater, no fans, 5.5cuft Haier Deep Freeze.... This is in central Texas btw.... Just look below.

    I was scratching my head to installing a 12V and 5V power supply when everything in the cabinet uses 5V on the control side. My plan is to install the 12V power supply in a smaller box to control valves. I also have one of these laying around...
