Four of us share a 25g/electric/SS/RIMS/BCS system, one wants out! Should we pay him out as he has requested? Or tell him sylater.

That spa panel CB should work in a Siemens panel, It worked for me and saved me close to $60 - thanks PJ! I discovered late into my electric brewery project that my control box (4prong) would not fit in a 3 prong outlet....wonder why? A quick and slightly frenzied call to PJ took care of it...

Channel locks is what I used.

@ IronBridgeBrewery the diagram was drawn for me and I'd be more than happy to answer any questions.

No glue, SS cotter pins or screws

I use a RIMS system and you will need to stir during dough in. I stir once @ dough in, returning the mash through a simple CPVC manifold atop the grain bed and Batch sparging (with a mashout). I consistently get 90%+ eff. My efficiency is calculated by PROMASH.

PJ's diagram is right on! It was drawn for me, it was easy to wire and works like a charm. I think its a great resource for the OP and if the OP needs any info on parts and such just PM me. PJ - I still owe you a build thread! I have tons of pics but working 3rd shift and a crazy 3 y/o have...

so I took my 4.5 back and the sale sign says 4.6 but all the units on the shelves are 4.5. The sale ended last night so I got a rain check and will hit up another Target nearby for the 4.6.

I just picked up one on sale @ Target, when I got it home I realized it was the wrong one - 4.5 cuft model # CR519B! It wont work as the coolant lines run through the freezer shelf. I need to go back and see if they have 4.6cuft is the CR520B which is the only one on Target.com. I dont know...

Agreed, PJ is the man!

thanks to the BCS! my brewing temps are controlled and displayed on the laptop, I input them and check em once (now that I'm used to the system) then I let it go. I always take OG readings and take another reading once fermentation has slowed and another before transfer. My fermentation temp is...

Duh, a whole half of my garage 120v outlets were out/inop so no 5v (5v to BCS/SSR in MAN) BrewDay back on.

Am I missing something? BCS is off line so I tried to brew in MANUAL, my pumps work but I have no heat @ HLT & BK? I have power @ the element connections of both HLT & BK Grounds are all good elements have continuity terminal to terminal. could both elements be bad???? thanks.

I bought 3 30g Blingmanns and had to drill 5 holes total (3 temp sensor 2 elements) We were a bit nervous to drill but we did it using a really good hole saw like this http://www.holepro.com/tctmetalpro.html Just went slow with pressure and cutting oil. The other option is a Greenlee punch...

I'm getting one or two this time round, I didn't move fast enough on the last lot.

I have 1 x 5500 W element in my HLT & BK, We do 20gal batches and have had great results. With a good vent fan our boil is right on. Timewise we are online with the ipA propane system.

me too PM sent.

love controllers and gas valves?? http://www.alenuts.com/Alenuts/brutus.html

I just built a "semi-automatic" system, 20g/3 vessel/electric heat/RIMS/BCS controlled we have brewed 3 times and it is like night and day compared to our old system. We are still using the BCS in "manual mode" = turning pumps off/on with a keystroke and controlling elements through the...
