    Foteck SSR's @*^^?&#! JUNK

    Sometimes, a new part just fails... When I was designing Teensynet, I ordered some "bargain brand" MOSFETS from a well-known U.S. web retailer. I had about a 20% DOA infant mortality rate. I switched to a U.S. distributor, ordered name-brand parts, and had no further problems. I've also had...

    Foteck SSR's @*^^?&#! JUNK

    Also make sure that the SSRs are adequately heat-sinked. I use a large heatsink and a fan on each heatsink when I'm running close to the capacity of the SSR. Never had a problem with the Foteks, but I use all 40A SSRs (I tend to over-engineer everything).

    5500 watt element

    I'm currently building a Boiler using a 5500w 240vac element, and when I tested the unit it drew about 22 amps at full boil, so you should have some room left over for other devices. Just make sure that you use a large enough electrical cable (I use 10-3) so the cable doesn't overheat at full...

    Keg Fermenter

    +1 I have two of the Beverage Factory Brite Tanks and use them all the time for 10gal pressurized fermentation. I use the ClearBeer Draught system to get clean samples and to transfer the finished beer into corney kegs. The only thing that would make it better is a thermowell in the cap. I had...

    Pull Through (dimpled) TC Ferrules for Soldering Prototype Stuff

    I've done at least a dozen, if not more, installations of tri-clamp ferrules using both a greenlee punch and a step drill. Some have gone well, and a few have developed very small cracks when dimpling. None have been a problem when silver soldering. Just my $0.02

    First Impression of Clear Beer Draught System (CBDS)

    +1 I use the clear beer draft system in my sealed/pressurized sanke fermenter as well as all of my serving kegs. I use the optional filter screen and dry hop in the fermenter. I can pull samples anytime, and don't have to worry about getting yeast or hops in my liquid-out post.

    Beverage Factory / Kegco Brite Tank

    Before I got the brite tanks, I used this from Norcal, you can get the diptube with a liquid out option.

    Beverage Factory / Kegco Brite Tank

    I use a clear draft system with a screen which draws the beer from the top, so I get very little trub. It also goes all the way to the bottom of the tank, so my beer loss is minimal.
