I won't be probing the boil kettle or controlling the cooktop with a PID. Just need to send power to the cooktop. And I wanted to make it clean looking by using the brew panel. The cooktop just needs power and it can do the rest with its own controls. Only the herms/HLT kettle element (5500w)...

I will contact you with a message later if you don't mind? I was looking into using different PID for mine like you mentioned. And Bobby's TC port has to be the best thing out there. Love it

I haven't found anything on this and was wondering if there is a reason? Not popular? Not feasible? My search skills are weak? I am building an AiONE simple brew panel to control a HERMS system (5g batches, 5500w element, 2 pumps) and I am using the Avantco 3500w induction cooktop to boil. My...

An inch is a lot. Thanks

Bumping, sorry. The 10g says 14.1" D. Is that inside wall to wall or rolled lip to rolled lip? Wanting to put a heating element into one and they tolerances are tight at 14 inches Grassy ass

An update for anyone following. My current outlet has a bare wire neutral and that makes it a bit dangerous as I understand it. Asked an electrician and he suggested running new 10/3. He's going to look to make sure but thinks it's not doable just adding a ground wire The attic is the bane of...

I am looking into adding a ground to my 10-30r 3 prong by doing a short run to my water heater or AC handler. Much shorter than to the panel. Looking into the viability and safety of this right now. Maybe it could work for you.

Well now you're throwing a lemon in my beer! Is this not correct? That's what I have on the wall and 3 wires behind the cover.

I have to crawl and scamper in my attic. Sucks. And it's hot and itchy I was under the impression my 10-30 dryer outlet is H H N and no ground, G and N are tied at the breaker panel. Ie there is no ground at the outlet. So running just a ground either from the panel ground bar to the dryer...

I am looking into running a ground to the outlet instead of 10/3. Checking with an electrician if it's doable and in code. Either from the panel, which isn't as bad as a full 10/3, or to the water heater 10 ft away. Might be back in business with the original plan

The gay-raj where the dryer is is on the other side of the house from my breaker box, and I had new insulation blown into the attic a few months ago, and I just don't want to go up there again lol.

Well my dryer outlet is a 3 prong 240v, so I am back to square one. Building a 240v HERMS control panel safely is probably not an option. Either is pulling new 10/3 across the house. Open to ideas, though, that I may not be aware of... The 120v RIMS from Bobby is probably going to be what i go...

The HLT I already have is 13 5/8" diameter, too small for a 5500w element. I am going to have to work this out. Maybe a smaller element, 4500 or 3500, Hot Rod, or a bigger kettle, which sucks since I have a good one. Some more research but the parts list is getting closer to complete

Thanks! I am considering a dedicated HLT for heat exchange separate from my HLT as well. I have a lot of options with this build as its basically ground up. I trashed most of my other system when I moved this year so it would force me to finally do this HERMs upgrade. FWIW, RIMS is also not off...

The HLT I have now has no holes cut yet for the coil, so I have options. It has a drain hole and probe hole (factory welded). The blichmann seems like the go to and Bobby has supplied me with parts for years. No brainer here.

The last part, thanks. I will take that into consideration when building the HLT. Never thought of that and I might be able to just use what I already have for a HLT.

Recently started to upgrade from my old system to a HERMS system. 5 gallon all electric system using induction burners with a Blichmann mash tun, SS Brewtech kettle (on sale now), and for now I have 10 gal ebay special HLT with ports. I dont remember if the HLT is induction or not, so it may...

Brew "season"? 😉
