This and also during cold winters the drop is about double. I still use a 10 gallon cooler, along with RIMS to ensure temp and to circulate instead of stir.

I went with RIMS myself, but you need to find a way to help stabilize and maintain the temperature you want.

@GParkins I knew that was going to be coming! I did not take many pics during the build process, but I do have some from my last brew day. I have been meaning to setup a build thread, just have not gotten to it yet.

I just came across this post, have not been on a lot lately looking at new posts. I am also in IT, used to support Windows Servers, now run a Customer Support desk supporting remote customers. IT hardware \ software, I am comfortable. However all of the electrical components, not so much. I...

That would be a play on the Bourbon called Makers Mark. They have red wax on their bottles.

For the graph question, I have the same flow sensor that you are using. I also have the calibration data that you have. I am not at my home computer, so I am going to try to describe from memory. I have the calibration data that you posted somewhere to convert the pulses into liters, which...

I like the idea of different text for an object depending on the state! Can you take it another step and specify a different picture depending on the state? Example of use is that you could have the picture of the pump impeller as greyish for not enabled, and then another picture with color in...

I was able to do some testing and I still cannot get my MOSFET below 28% without the pump cutting out. I was getting around 3 or 3.5 liters a minute, which I verified with a large marked pitcher. With that said, I could increase the height of the tubing coming out of the RIMS tube and I was...

I do not have the flow meter hooked up yet unfortunately. When I was running the test last week for MOSFET with the tan pump, I was doing a leak test with RIMS tube that was not wired yet. I just had a short loop going to make sure there were no leaks, but thought I would mess around with the...

@augiedoggy Do you pump strike water through your pumps in the opposite direction they are suppose to go, or do you disconnect your pump from the mashtun before you pump stike water backwards into the mashtun? I hope that makes sense, lol. I will have to take a look at some of your setup pics...

So it went down by about 1 V each time I dropped by 25%. So 75 was about 23V, 50 was about 22V, and 25 was about 21V. I even checked 5% and that was about 20V. 0% obviously went to 0V.

Sorry for the delay in response, and also sorry for kind of hijacking augie's thread. I did check the voltage into the motor with a slightly better meter that claims True RMS, and it was reading around 23.4V at 100%. I changed the MOSFET out, but have not had a chance to actually run the...

For the MOSFET, I have WINGONEER 5Pcs IRF520 MOSFET Driver Module from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHH1TQM/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 For the pump, it is a 24VDC tan pump: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073QMWN9L/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 For 24VDC power I have Mean...

BrunDog - I was not expecting it to be perfect, but I was surprised at how much it fluctuated. I also already have the flowmeter that you use. augiedoggy - I don't think I can even start mine below 50% unfortunately, and definitely cannot get down to 20%.

Curious which MOSFET boards you are using. I have seen you mention I think in the tan pump thread that you run them at 20% or 25% power via the MOSFET. The reason I am asking which ones you are using as I am starting to do some testing of components now that my panel is built. I could not go...

I just posted a very long and detailed issue that I had recently in regards to troubleshooting RTD sensors, MAX boards, BruControl software, and wiring. BrunDog was a great help and very patient. Hopefully this post will help some with troubleshooting, and even more important what not to do...

First I want to thank @BrunDog for the patience and the help he has provided while researching my options for a RIMS setup, and his help with an issue I had with RTD sensors, RTD platform board for use with the BruControl software, MAX31865 boards, connection to Arduino MEGA 2560, and the data...
