    Bucks Electric Brewery

    After brewing 5 batches, I'm going to remove the herms heat exchanger and stick with the 3000w inverted rims tube I installed on the MLT recirc line. It's much faster and the two PID loops are fighting each other. Also the mass flowmeter on the drain of the BK is being moved to the HLT loop. I...

    Spa panel wiring question

    Yes, it will trip via a ground fault or 60 or greater of current

    Failure of Brewha BIAC

    16g would not be that easy as he said, maybe the outside is 16g but not the inside.

    Spa panel wiring question

    Just to see if it works, try it. It's not rated for permanent use.

    Spa panel wiring question

    You may have an issue with your neutral/ground buss, I've seen issues with sharing the buss and not having separate but that's not that common, might be a bad breaker, can you install the gfci in your main panel? If so see if it still trips.

    Got the 300 gpd RO system running, also a 20g storage tank will make filling faster on brew day.

    Thermocouple & Thermowell Fitting

    You have better luck than me. I got the bare elements and none of them calibrated anywhere near the others

    Thermocouple & Thermowell Fitting

    Also stay away from the cheap probes. I've had nothing but issues with some RTD's I got off eBay from China. Got some nice omega RTD for a great price on eBay. For brewing an RTD is cheaper and more accurate.

    Heady Topper- Can you clone it?

    Your comparing American to Belgian Malts there. They are close, but as others have stated, British stuff is a whole other animal. There are no subs for Caramalt, Pearl, optic, halcyon, MO and GP.

    SSR/heater coil Question

    On a 120v AC circuit the voltage oscillates at 60hz or 60 times per second (AC=alternating current) So the neutral is a path for the circuit to be complete, amperage is carried on the hot leg. On a 240, you have 2 120v hot wires, each wire is 180deg out of phase, so you have 240vac 60 times a...

    SSR/heater coil Question

    Because the flow of electricity is being interrupted. Say your powering a 240v light bulb, a switch is on one of the 120v legs, you open the switch and power stops flowing light goes out. You will still have 120v at the unswitched leg, but unless you give the power somewhere to go, ( close the...

    Thermocouple & Thermowell Fitting

    Oh, I thought they were a solid piece. Now I can see that it's two piece. My bad. You can always get a weldless thermowell from Brewers hardware.

    Thermocouple & Thermowell Fitting

    Looks like that TC threads in. The TC is not exposed, it's in that stainless "thermowell" already. Your good

    Making the jump, looking at 120 versus 240

    If there is a 30a 240v circuit in the garage, then yes you can, what was this for? If your panel is in the garage, your wide open on what you can do.

    Sorry to hear about your grandad. Look at the LH35 There are similar cheaper ones on eBay http://www.flowline.com/switchtek_lx3x.php#sthash.S2Mh8gJh.dpbs

    Interface

    Over the years I've tried NI, but my brain is a ladder logic, statement list brain, not that pretty graphical NI stuff.
