The picoBrew E-BIAB is a 3 wire system. You can use a 4-wire outlet, just don't hook up anything to the neutral prong on the plug. Use the two "HOT" prongs and the ground only. The neutral line is used for deriving 120 VAC from 1/2 of the 20VAC supply, which the picoBrew E-BIAB system does...

The operation manual gives real good detail how the PID is implemented. The variables that determine the percent on and off are completely configurable. What I was getting at in my last post, is that if you had set the boil temperature to 210, and say that you wanted to change it during the...

Many have requested multiple hops addition alarms instead of the two that the default configuration allows. I just want to make sure that the program changes I make meet the expectations of those that asked for it. Right now, there is an alarm that notifies the brewer to add hops at the point...

Yes, in manual or auto mode you can adjust the set point temperature on the fly by simply pressing the up or down button on the controller at any time. Gives you analog type control but uses digital technique. The solid state relay switches power on the zero crossing point of the AC cycle so...

Just did a reorder for the next run (we build 20 controllers per run) and our component costs went up on some items. Final tally not in yet, but I expect about a 5% increase on the controller.

Also, will that work with a 1/4" diameter sensor? I found the web site and it appears it is for a thin sensor like those thermistor types that come with kitchen thermometers. Thanks in advance.

Can you send me a link, I'd like to buy one and evaluate.

Sorry, misunderstood your question. The controller only works with the supplied temperature sensor. The sensor is a digital sensor, not analog.

The sensor that my controller uses is not an RTD type, although as I understand it the weld less adapter can facilitate any .25" diameter sensor.

Yes, the upgrade will work with all controllers already shipped.

Point taken! Thanks.

The next release of firmware for the controller will allow multiple hops addition alarms/prompts. This is the weldless fitting I'm evaluating. Puts the sensor in direct contact with the water/wort, but extends only slightly into the kettle...

Thanks for the suggestion. To be honest, I'm trying to determine if it is the proper venue. I am advertising elsewhere as it appears my target market is the first time newbee that can jump right into all grain brewing and skip the "dump and stir kit" step we all probably went through...

Just a note that I've tested a weldless connector that allows the temperature sensor to make direct contact with the water/wort. Response to temperature changes is nearly immediate. Cost is a little more, but may solve your concerns. Cheers

Being the provider of the system, I feel compelled to respond, without making it a commercial for my product. The system includes shipping, which is no small cost now days. There is inbound shipping on every component and outbound shipping of the complete system. Outbound shipping...

[]! I'm the owner...just thought I'd bring it to your attention.

Since there is a fair amount of discussion on this forum about the picoBrew E-BIAB system, I thought I'd take the time to comment. I am the "Guy" of which you speak. I developed the picoBrew E-BIAB system. Relative to the trademark concerns. I was concerned about the picobrew term as well...
