Thank you

Hey guys I just finished my control panel and I'm planning on brewing this weekend but I'm a little nervous about the GFCI wiring in my house. I know I have a GFCI receptacle outlet in my kitchen that I plan to plug in my control panel. My question is..is that enough for protection? Should...

Ok..I Setup my RTD to my pid last night and I'm get power to my element now but it keeps going on and off the whole time. I think I just have to auto tune but at least I'm getting power to it now. Thanks for all the help

Thanks I will test tonight

Yea I doubled checked and I have one side connected to my power terminal and the other one out to my element plug. Ok one more stupid question and sorry for so many questions but Rgauthier just mentioned something that makes me feel really stupid.. I haven't configured my pid yet it's just...

Ok I hooked up everything as Rgauthier suggested but it's not working. I'm getting no power from the SSR on. I have power to the PID so I know the control panel is getting power. Also there is a light on the SSR but it does not come on so it's like I'm not getting power to the SSR. Is it...

Haven't done it but I will let you know as soon as I do Thx

Thank you Rgauthier for all your help man.

Thank you atoughram I found out one of my kitchen outlet is actually a 20amp breaker but they had a 15amp plug in the wall so I am going to change the outlet plug with a 20amp

Actually yes I am using a push power botton. So I'm guessing that I have to wire the power to the switch then from the switch to A1?

Ok so started to put together the control panel and I just realized I have no idea how to wire the ssr. I've looked at a few writing diagrams and they are wired differently. I know I'm going from my PID to the dc side of the ssr. What I'm confused with is the other side of the ssr. I have...

Actually I don't have the pump yet I'm getting it today. I thought I read somewhere the pump would draw 15amp. Thanks for your help I really appreciate it.

Ok so if I put in a 20amp breaker and I plug in my control panel to it can I run both my 15amp pump and my 20amp element off that one breaker or would that be too much? Also Do You Know If I Need 2 SSR One For Each Or Can I Run Both From One Thanks

This might be a stupid question but I was looking at my circuit box in my basement and I only have 15amp breakers..I don't see a 20 so if I build a control panel with a 15amp switch plug for my pump then can I also include a 20amp plug for the heading element? Or do I have to keep it at 15amp...

Thank you. Do you have a diagram?

Hello guys I was wondering if I could get your opinions on a setup that I am trying to put together. First...I have no idea what I am doing or getting myself into but I want to build a simple PID control panel for a Rims setup. Without knowing what I really needed I went out and order a few...

Ok tell me if this makes sense.. I went and got myself a beer filter and filtered both beers and that took care of the weird taste. I filtered with 5 microns and the beer taste delicious.

I just tried another beer I have been fermenting for 7 days and I have a similar taste on that one. At this point I'm thinking it's my water. I have never had any issues with it before but I was told the town water sometimes changes depending on the weather and conditions. I think I found...

I really don't know what it is, I have never seen anything like this and I have used StarSan in the past with no issue but I have to say that I have always rinsed with hot water after using StarSan, this is the only time I didn't. I was trying to save time in my brewing process and I thought...

John Thanks for the link. I read the part about soapy taste but I didn't leave the beer fermenting in the primary too long. It was only there for 2 weeks, plus how do I get soapy foam out of it when I shake the glass of beer. It really looks like soap. I will try to take a picture of the...
