Ok, so I think I'm understanding enough to take a stab at the electrical diagram. Let me know what you guys think.

I guess this will give me room to upgrade in the future if I do decide to buy a larger element and connect to an outlet with a higher amperage breaker.

I believe we had discussed using a 2000W element at 120v, which is on a 20 A breaker. This allows me to increase a 12 gallon mash 1 degree F per minute. That being said, will this affect your SSR and heatsink selections?

Can I use the one with a built in SSR? http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=237 If not, can someone add a link to one that will work?

What is the QD? I found the RTD, but I don't see a QD option. http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=261

Also, thanks for all the help you've given me so far, it is much appreciated.

I was checking out your system that you have linked. I am quite impressed. My suggestion for your next endeavor is to set up a photovoltaic array, build a battery bank, and possibly invert to the correct voltage, and vou la, solar powered beer!

I updated the plans since this morning with the new layout, including the new location for the temperature sensor and the new HLT. I also included a legend to make it clear, if this works out well, so I can include it in a how to guide. What I need is a wiring diagram because I really have no...

Also, I just found a really cheap half keg on craigslist, so I'm gonna update the plans to show a 1/2 keg-keggle conversion for the HLT and use gravity to supply the MT. I guess i'm gonna go all out then and put a burner under both the HLT and the boil kettle for total ease.

I am very interested in the PID control. What are the benefits/drawbacks between the two temperature probes you show. They both seem to be exactly what I originally wanted. Also, do you have to take them out of the system everytime in order to clean them, or can you just run the system with a...

Ok, So I use the corny keg because it's what I have at the moment. I may upgrade to another converted 1/2 keg and another pump in the future. I plan to heat the sparge and mash water on the stove to get things started, again, I may upgrade this in the future. I generally fill it right when...

Ok, so I'm ready to start upgrading my piecemeal all grain system to something a bit more automated. I like the idea of a RIMS system so that I can better control the entire process so that duplicating that amazing brew I come up with one day will be a cinch. I also am excited to be able to...
