Do you mean a chill haze? Question was for xico

I now have two large BIACS and regularly do 200 liter boils.

]Just picked this up from Nathan, it's pretty sweet. I cap before fermentation is finished. Also has a micro filter in case of vacuum release.

I have a large BIAC. I have a 13 foot ceiling and I use an 1100 pound hoist

Is your "element" light 220V? I didn't put a light in for the element on my panel and I wish I had....might have to change that. Nice lamacoids. ( good job overall as well :)

I have the DSPR1 in my panel as well, works great. I've been using it to maintain ferment temperatures in my brew room with the heat off. Temperature difference of 20 degrees and ferment varies .1 degree (68.9 to 69) I also use the alarm contact on the PID with a setting of 69 . Suprising how...

The PID calculates a precise power output based on an algorithm that considers the system, time off setpoint and number of degrees off setpoint. These parameters are set in auto tune when you set up your controller. Two other parameters to be concerned with are HY and T. Hy is hysteresis and...

Yup, you're right. Because my controller is a ramp/soak I didn't get that nice PWM the other controllers have so the 1 sec cycle achieves the same results and yes the boil sits at 211.5 which is 1.5 off SV so the PID is cycling the element maintaining a steady boil.

On my 4352 I set the cycle time to 1 sec which is no problem for an ssr and raise SV till I get a good boil which for me is 213. Why not let the PID do the calculations?

If you have it you might as well use it. May be plumb it into your chiller for those days where you have to do both (heat/cool). I think Nathan is going to offer a DSPR1 in the future,looks like the Ranco plugs into it. Have you cold crashed with your chiller yet?

Correction: duty cycle was about 10%

I purchased my BIAC 6 months ago and couldn't be happier. Quality is excellent and customer service is top notch. I've been using the element to maintain precise ferment temperatures. I built a wall mount controller which has a PID and a DSPR1 from Auberins. I set the temperature to 69 and...
