I am not sure how your cook top operates. If it only uses 240V you will be OK as long as the wires are connected correctly to each plug.

Assuming you did this correctly you would basically just drop the ability to use 120 Volt power. If you do not have your neutral you can not get 120 Volts in a safe method at the plug end. This may be OK if you plan to only use 240 Volts from it. I do not follow your question amperage wise...

Here is a clone I did of a local brewery's citra IPA. It is a wonderful beer. http://dustinnorlund.com/index.php/just-did-it/flying-monkeys-smashbomb-atomic-ipaall-grain-clone And here is a page that looks at the results with a tasting comparison etc. Color and taste were right on...

Thanks for the kind words! We appreciate the GaDang! In the near future we are adding tank level sensing modules and valve control modules. Of course these will be optional but will add many features such as an automated sparge, automated fills, etc. Hopefully that will get a double GaDang...

I am thinking it was recipe related. I recirculate before the boil leading up to the boil and also much like you do for a bit during the boil. I have never noticed much of a difference in break hot or cold when I have ummm... forgot to recirculate.

Personally I think you have more control over the entire process with all electric. Two reasons are tops in my mind. First is mash temperature control, I believe this is superior in a properly designed electric system. Second is being able to repeatedly control boil intensity via a know power...

I just use a sponge and water, the double sided type that has scotch brite on one side. I clean just after brewing sometimes with a bit of PBW, so far no buildup or issues or anything like the photo above, this includes beers from 1.040 upto the 1.100 range. Cheers

I just went through this looking at pricing in the USA. You can get a home depot spa panel (Seattle area HD) for around 67 dollars for a 50 A, I think there was a smaller and larger for just more or less. This is a whole box, breaker, and some internal bus bars etc. Comparable in the same...

Having built a few control panels I would really recommend going with DIN mount components. It will be much cleaner to build and save you lots of pain in the long run. Open Source Control Systems has one of the best collections of DIN parts that apply to our segment in my opinion. Further I...

:mug: makes laugh... PFM if you know the acronym... On a more serious note the SSRs will create heat and lots of it if running near capacity. I was not clear. We are using over sized SSRs, the cost is little to do so and we do used oversized units. We tested with SSRs rated for just...

Sorry for the belated reply here I have been traveling the last couple days. Garbageman - yes we do use the Aurduino it is a great litte board that can do many things. Rcbishop- yes you are correct. Strecker25 - I am glad to see you think we are well priced. The bottom line is that we have...

We run 5 SSRs with heat sinks in a our system with two cooling fans in the box. Even without the fans the SSRs do not get overly warm in PWM settings where you would think they would warm up so I doubt the box you show will heat up much. With the fans in our system on there is very minimal...

My project started off innocently enough over a year ago, I wanted to go all electric, and I wanted a graphical user interface controlled brewing system with some automation. Things got a bit out of hand and after some interest from local brewers and microbreweries I decided to make a...

RTL thanks for the response. We are always looking for input as to features and design elements to incorporate or make better. Basic schematics are included for buyers. Currently we are working with a microbrewery to run six elements, three pumps, and a fermentation system. This is done via...

He wants to know if you can brew beer without using hops because he can not get hops in Guatemala. Anyone have an idea for him?

Thank you for the kind words. We tried to make the GUI as simple yet elegant as possible while still keeping some of the functions like a multi-step mash, hop addition timer, or fermentation schedule control very powerful. We are seeking input for additional features and or ways to get better...

+1 on did you crush your grains? Are you sure your hydrometer is OK?

We have recently added an offering to the market in this segment. Please have a look at www.brewmastercontrols.com. This project started out as my eBrew build and turned into a system we now offer to home brewers and microbreweries. Our offering is very different in the fact that it is...

I just did this recipe with a few small changes. One thing I would do is only add 1 pound of lactose, then up the lactose at bottling or keg to taste. I turned out great. Recipe: Dewclaw Milk Stout Style: Sweet Stout TYPE: All Grain Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Boil...
