    Cleaning stainless steel

    There is always a concern about scatches and stuff, but as above, a BK is on the Hot Side. You have to be extra careful on any vessels, piping or fitting after a chiller where the temp is less than about 180 or so ( extra careful as the "true area" is lower), but the Hot side is not critical...

    I have used other series from that brand and they are quality SSRs. I generally put all my high current SSRs in there own seperate metal container so I use the standard hockey puck type with a heat sink as I have lots of room. There are the real ones and not the cheap CoCo ones (CRA#@ of...

    I am doing a little rewiring. It looks like the TF 4 must use 5v from the Mega tied to the AREF. Could I use a different 5 v Power Supply and have it tied to to the AREF on the Mega?

    MEGA-2560 UniShield. My issue with the grand central is that it is 3.3 v vs the 5 v for the Mega. Power supply recommendations? 24/12/5? I use true Meanwell. They should be UE certified and mounted so you can replace them. I have all 3 24/12/5 Wire - 20 or 22 AWG? Shielded? Twisted...

    Stir plate, build, buy, or not necessary

    I use them! I purchased them. In fact, Brewer's hardware started almost as a "builder" of stir plates long ago! https://www.brewershardware.com/ They no long do so. Liquid yeast do so much better if started. You always get some that are no so fresh.

    I have read some things on the adurino forum where you can set the Hz with code. Be nice to have a "calibration" thing to be able to set the Hz as an interger. I am still not understanding why a Digital Out has anything to do with Hz PWM.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Looking at the Interface Wiring Map for a Mega Firmware 46+, there is little difference between Ethernet, Wifi (biggest dif) and Serial, Why not allow a change between interface types and just wipe out those that are different. For example, switching from Ethernet to Serial really has no...

    It may be specific to the BruControl firmware. Odd as a Digital Out is On or Off only.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I would as it is a fairly mature system. I am also concerned that @ Brundog has been absent from the forum but the website is still up and you can order things. I also started with a BCS 462?and moved to a 482 ( not really any improvement) You were limited in I/o and had only 64 avaiable...
