    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Estimator is an additional algorithm on top of PID. It measures heating/cooling speed and turns heating/cooling off before temperature reaches target value based on that measurement.

    Does a 120v BoilCoil need a controller?

    Something like this https://www.amazon.com/uniquegoods-Controller-Attemperation-thermoregulation-Modulation/dp/B01M3XZBV9/ should be enough.

    Does a 120v BoilCoil need a controller?

    It's not about voltage, it's about power. Unless you have a very large boiler 2250Watt will create a vigorous boil. I bet you decided to get a controller after the first try.

    Old mini-fridge - punctured cooling line - Can I still used the compressor for something?

    You can use a condenser coil but I'd check if led soldering wasn't used there. I doubt if you can use compressor because Freon filling also includes compressor lubricant and compressor will fail quickly without it. Probably you can use a motor from it. However it's reparable. You just need to...

    1HP single-phase 120V centrifugal pump wiring help

    VFD can be used with 3 phase motor or single phase synchronous motors. Pumps like you mentioned usually have asynchronous AC motor. In that case you need not a VFD but voltage regulator. You can try something like this -...

    Review my wiring diagram? (BruControl fermentation automation)

    Sure, ut will work OK with 3.3V Vgs. However its can provide only 4Amp of continuous load. Should be enough for most valve's solenoids but I'd doublecheck.

    Illuminated Rocker Switch DPST Wiring

    Yes, SSR leakage current is small but enough to lit LED when heating element is disconnected. If element is connected lights should go off when SSR disengaged. You can connect a incandescent lite bulb instead of element for testing (don' use LED or CFL lamps )

    Illuminated Rocker Switch DPST Wiring

    What are your element wattage? This switch rated for 16Amp but I wouldn't trust it. I had a lot's of issue with this type of switches. Even a good ones OK only under 10-12Amp load. Bad one can start melting under 5Amp load. If you disassemble it you can see how thin contacts are. The good news-...

    Yet Another 240 Anvil Question

    I know many forum users won't agree but I believe that GFCI need is overrated. You can be safe without GFCI if all your equipment properly grounded. Millions peoples using washers/dryers/stove without GFCI and don't get electrocuted. All industrial equipment work without GFCI either. GFCI must...

    Multimeter recommendation

    I have Fluke 87-V for 10+ years and I love it. But it's definitely not chip. Recently Chinese companies start manufacturing multimetres with same chip Fluke are using. I've bought 3 zotek zt101 (Amazon.com ) And I was impressed. It's a true RMS meter and measurements accuracy is close to...

    HERMS mash?

    Definitely it will work. However question is - how does it affect efficiency and taste?

    Automated Power Source Switch

    There is no just a "standard wiring". You may have a mixture of 15A and 20A wiring at your home. For example, according to a latest standards, laundry room must have a 20amp outlet.
