only 11 lbs of grain..German Pils, Carafoam and A little Vienna. Im measuring with a beer thief and a hydrometer. These are all my normal processes and its been in my regulated ferm tank.

Its been almost a month and for some reason I cannot get this beer finished so I can lager it. I started at about 1.058 and made a starter which calculated at about 700 billion cells (should suffice yes... ) but I cant get it down any further than about 1.028. That seems real high to me???? I...

Nobody's has this issue?

Honeywell VR8200 gas valve: I have my setup ready for testing and I and using and Inbird to control these gas valves. I finally got the pilot placed in the right spot and when I first activate the PID and gas valve and turn the gas valve on the PID works and turn the gas on to get the higher...

Pilz!!!! Absolutely. Little dry, nice hoppy note.

Day_tripper is pretty much correct. I am still using 120v buttons and the 120v inkbird timer so I needed to get an additional transformer to wire both 106 controllers to the buttons. Sill waiting for it to get it wired up and Ill send along some finished pics.

Update and Possible fix: I have been talking with Inkbird and their support team (Some of the most helpful support people ever might I add) and they sent me two different controllers to with my system to get a solution. All the controllers they sent were free of charge as well in effort to help...

UPDATE 2: I have beeen researching more on SSR's to figure out how this all completes the circuit and basically the 12vdc coming off the PID's switch the relay to complete the circuit (Noob i know) so I am testing out the SSR's and once the 12v input from the PID turns the SSR on i DO NOT get...

UPDATE: The Transformer is working when testing right to the gas valve. I am getting 24v AC to the gas valve. So now we know it works. It must be the issue between the PID's 12vDC output to the SSR'S turning back into/switching the 24v AC access to the gas valve. There has to be an easier way...

Excellent idea! I will try that. Who knows, maybe it's the gas valves. The SSRs are Inkbird. They actually came with the 106 PIDs

So this drawing (I double checked) is exactly how I have them wired: I get about 11.64V DC on the input DC side that is coming from the Inkbird PID and the light comes on but nothing on the output of the SSR's. I feel like i am missing something as it seems this wiring should work but no 26vAC...

Do you SYL-2342 know if this PID outputs 24-26V AC to the gas vales? That would be a hell of a lot easier. I feel like i am piecing the wrong hardware together at this point.

I got the transformer from amazon: Honeywell AT72D1683 120V/24V Transformer Yes to answer your question I am getting 12v DC from the 106 PID to the SSR and the light comes on as it should but not voltage from the other side.

I do have the Inkbird ITC-106VH PID. On pins 6 and 8 I do get 12 v DC that switches on and off due to the PID settings but the trouble is then converting that to 26V AC for the gas valves. If there's another PID that will do the same stuff AND give me a relay output of 26 V for the gas valves...

Since the SSRs may take draw which makes sense, and the controller does switching can I wire this without using the SSRs?

When the temp control is supposed to activate the SSR and the Gas valve. Needing to turn them on to stay in whatever desired range I have set. UPDATE: turns out I crossed the input wires from both my temp controllers. Now I see the SSR activate with the red light but the output AC voltage from...

I don't seem to be getting voltage after the inkbirds show they are "Out" of temp range. Is my wiring incorrect?

Please excuse my remedial drawing but I was thinking this through now that I am making time to finish this build. From what you described this is what I came up with. Does this looks correct?

Without showing too much since I will be posting a full build when I'm done. Here is what I went with. Raised distribution bars for the 110v and the 26v will go through the switches with little extra wire. Looks clean and efficient.

Thank you!!! Sorry I have been out for awhile... But I am going to try this. Do I need to be specific on which terminals to attach to on the gas valves? TF an TH? Like I said I know a lot about electrical and very little about gas and would prefer not to blown myself up :ban: Also, do I really...
