You can definitely get that much liquid to a boil on one element, I think he was more worried about how long it would take to get there. I personally supplement my 1500w element with my stove top when ramping temps up to save time if needed. I think that element they use is very similar to the...

That's what I figured everyone was using. Thanks for suggesting that, I just shot them an email, we'll see what they say.

As long as you keep the amperage under 15A for everything, you could run the Inkbird. They sell the controller a la carte for $499, so if they were to sell the kit minus the controller it could be quite a savings, or their pricing is just really out of whack. Their 1650w element is going to...

I had planned on and advised them I was going to be installing it in the kettle wall, down at the element level. So, I guess it's either head over to BrewHardware or pick up the M14 version. I'm kind of pissed at this point it'll cost me at least another $20 to make this work because of an...

haha, "first world problems"

Paralysis by Analysis for sure, I'm the same way. I want to do it right the first time, especially when there's so much good info out there to learn from. I think they mentioned that their price for the 240v system would go up about $300 from the base 120v. I can't find where I heard/read...

What's up everybody, so I'm building a small electrical system and ordered a few components from Auber recently after some emails back and forth with them, including this PT100 RTD Sensor, hoping for an easy weldless install...

That just doesn't address my needs/wants...I'd like to be able to drive different pressures at each line for situations like having a keg or two at serving pressures, while another keg is being burst carbonated. Trust me though, I'd love to keep it simple, my wallet would appreciate it more lol.

Nice man! One question, I see your 4th gas line in that photo, what do you typically do with it? Reason I ask is someone mentioned that I may not want my "utility" gas line (for purging kegs, doing closed system transfers, etc.) in the fridge, since I'd have to leave the door open if I needed...

What's up everybody? So I was looking around to put together the gas side of my keg system, and I came across an interesting offering from Keg Connection. I noticed that they offer their secondary regulators in "high pressure" versions that can operate without a primary regulator. Link...

@BeardedBrews thanks brother, can't wait. Just letting the Black Friday purchases all trickle in now and getting it all ready.

Thanks @BeardedBrews for that, that does help a lot. That thread is great too. I was thinking about how to add a whirlpool, whether making it permanently attached or a drop in accessory. Also, I got my powercon components that you recommended today and my power cord. I went ahead and got them...

Here's a quick breakdown on costs and an item list of everything that's going into the build. It's all on the way and the last items get here the first week of December. Until then, I put this together to see how I did. https://imgur.com/a/QhZfb While I definitely went over on my initial...

Well, now that we're done with Thanksgiving weekend here, I went ahead and started ordering components for the controller build. Can't thank everyone enough who has contributed to this thread, especially @doug293cz and @BeardedBrews . Once stuff starts arriving over the next couple weeks, I'll...

Got it regarding the DPST vs. SPST switches, thank you for that. And for the fuses, I have no doubt that you put them in there for a reason, I definitely trust your design over what might be sold as a plug-n-play controller, that's why I'd like to keep them. I was more seeing if those panel...

Oh man, that's super helpful actually. Seeing all the wiring and placement of the componenets compared to the schematic is definitely helpful for me. Thank you for posting that.

Yeah, for some reason Auber doesn’t list that one I linked with it’s 120v amperage. Also, the Auber rep suggested single pole switches over the double poles, any reasoning there? He also said the 1amp breaker isn’t necessary, and the 10amp is oversized. I’d rather keep them in the design just...

Thank you so much, Bearded. I'd be fine with using two of those switches that you linked. I think Auber sells something similar, just FYI (https://www.auberinc.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=69_74&products_id=272)

The Clawhammer Supply system is a decent kit. I was looking into it as well, since I was looking for a system to do batches anywhere from like 2-5 gallons, where I'd mostly make 2.5 gallons batches. I'm also strapped for space and need a single vessel type system. It sounds like you're...

@doug293cz @BeardedBrews honestly, now that we've switched to 120v/20a, and dropped the contactor/relay all together, I'm beyond lost on the wiring and new components with how it would change in regards to the hot and neutral on the entire top center/top right of the schematic. I'd really need...
