Not sure what you mean by much larger but just so I'm sure, you put a 1/4 watt, 500k or 1 megaohm resistor in parallel with your indicator light?

Most of my gut feelings are ;-)

I had tried a 120v indicator wired from switch to common which worked great until I plugged IN the element - then the element allows current to flow through it to the indicator light. I really want the light to come on when only when the element is on. I'm using a pwm so I want to see it on...

Yeah I could do that, but there aren't any 12v LEDs available that match the other two on my panel. I thought I saw a post on another thread somewhere suggesting the use of a resistor in parallel with the LED.

I have a 240v led connected t o one hot leg and also the ssr-switched leg with the intent for it to be on when the ssr closes. My research here (also verified by personal experience) shows that the ssr will leak current enough to turn on the led at all times, unless the element is plugged in...

nice!

This post made me laugh. I was going to write "its never too late to start". Then I saw your next post. By the way for someone with little experience you're not doing that bad...

I could be wrong but I think goose ipa is classified as an English ipa if that helps.

Hey thanks! Yes it has been in use for the last 2 years pretty much as shown (up until this month - which I will get into in a minute...) and I absolutely love it. Be aware that I tend to build things a bit unconventional, mostly due to the tools and materials I have available to me. My MLT is...

I agree, but maybe a "show us your..." might work better rather than a "can we catalog all of PJ's diagrams in one place..." etc. I could be wrong though. I will add mine here soon (once I test it)!

I had #2 (above) in Columbus last year and I was very impressed. Glad to see it make it into this thread. I've only had the one 6 pack so far so I would need to have more in order to put it in my top three but it could very well be that good. Speaking of my top three, here's mine currently...

Ah I see now. Yes you've got it right!

It depends on when you are adding your sparge water salts. If you are adding them to all of your sparge water prior to sparging, then use that volume in the spreadsheet. If you are waiting to add the salts until post-sparge in the boil kettle, then you should only enter into the spreadsheet...

Yes, except I replaced the gasket that came with the element with a silicone one like most people around here use. I searched for reasons why people did not use the gasket that came with it but didn't find much. There may be those who do use them. My guess is that the gaskets are nitrile...

Exactly right.

Thanks. www.heyco.com. Look for the liquid tight cordgrips. I don't even know how much they cost, I got them as free samples by clicking on the sample request link. I don't know if they will send them without a company name.

I am also in the "keep your element threads/nut outside of your enclosure" camp. I haven't posted mine in the show me your element thread because I'm not quite done yet, but here's what I've got so far: Boxes are reclaimed junction boxes off scrap electric motors, modified to take a...

^^^ Pretty dang clever. VERY well done!

GO LIONS! Oh, and good idea with the turkey pan.

Excellent points. I should also mention that I have even one more reason to put something underneath - I would like to raise the height of the BK an inch or two above the laminate (simply because of my cfc is gravity fed).
