I looked around a bit before settling on that leviton switch and didn't see others rated for 20a but I know its done since I see them in prebuilt & diy systems frequently. Function is more important to me than the aesthetic though so I'm okay with keeping it. I would really appreciate a new...

Doug, Its a Leviton 54521-2W 20-Amp from amazon I haven't purchased it yet so if you have something that might serve me better I'm open to it. Not the best at designing circuits and the diagram provided by Auber is a bit vague at least to me. Correct me if I'm wrong but in the diagram at the...

Attached is an updated version, hopefully the wiring is a little easier to distinguish in this one. I added the switch as you recommended, if you wouldn't mind letting me know if its setup correctly I'd appreciate it. Thanks again.

Appreciate your looking it over. I planned to turn the power to 0 before unplugging the controller but would physical switches for both power to the controller and element be better?

Looking for a double check on the layout/wiring. The system will be a 120v 2200w control panel based on DSPR1 controller from Auber. This will be plugged into a dedicated 20a GFCI protected circuit and will not run anything else (i.e. no pump outlet in the control panel). The heatsink for the...

If anyone is in the Atlanta area you should check these guys out.

Entered. Good luck everyone

No worries, glad to hear that this placement is working out since it's exactly what I was planning to do.

@BeardedBrews where did you end up placing the temp probe? It seems people either go with a tee fitting at the lid or place it near the element. I see the logic with having it near the element to make sure the wort in this area isn't significantly hotter than your target/what it may be reading...

Apologies, the 14-30 wall receptacle is what I was meaning to ask about. My understanding is that in a 240v/3 wire conductor configuration for main power then a separate power cord fed from a 120v outlet is required to power the pump/auxiliary outlets whereas with a 240v/4 wire setup with two...

I have seen the system mentioned around the forums, do you have an idea of the price point that you wouldn't mind sharing? Also, will the controller be setup for a 14-30 receptacle or the typical L6-30 that I see on most of the other controllers out there?

I've seen a few of people mention this and my main reason on going with the fans instead, at least for now, is the requirement of using more water than I already use for my brew day. Unless I'm missing something thats the way I understood the steam slayer working. Are there others that don't...

Thanks for the reply @micraftbeer. As I mentioned to @MikeCo, I hadn't planned to start recirculating with a pump right away as I wanted to see how things went when stirring with the mash paddle every 15 minutes. I have looked into loc line and may end up attaching some to the lid of the kettle...

I have considered recirculating but I think I'm going to test out stirring every 15 mins during the mash before jumping into recirculation. I may end up going that way as I am also getting a pump to whirlpool/recirculate during chilling. For those that may be reading this has anyone used loc...

Yeah I'm in Georgia so although it does get cold, day time temps are never really a problem. My biggest issue is ground water temp for cooling, especially in summer.

@MikeCo my going in plan is to use a couple fans to push steam outside via my garage door. One blowing across the kettle and the other closer to the edge of the garage to help pull it out. Do you think this will be enough to vent the moisture?

I posted this over on biabrewer.info and am reposting here to make sure I get various opinions. I've grown tired of having to fill propane tanks and being limited by weather. I'm looking at a custom Spike 15 gallon kettle with triclamp ports for the element, 5500w ripple, and a Blichmann...

Don't see many Weiss beers around anymore

I'm hoping to get some advice from all who have converted the Tramontina 4.4 cu ft 126 can beverage center. I've seen a post with measurements for drilling a hole for the draft tower but I need to know if anyone has drilled out a hole to feed CO2 lines in from the outside? If so, where? I'm...
