I went back and check out the PID contol settings. I found that the "OUTY" setting was set to 1 which disabled the SSR output. I changed it to 2 which is "SSR PID control Output". The "OUT" light and the light on the SSR is now blinking in sync. I plugged a lamp in and it still does not...

Its a brand new 40A SSR from Auber. I will check the voltage.

Just a couple more pictures I took with everything labeled....I figured it may help follow everything.

I also just double checked to polarity between the PID and the SSR and everything looks good. If anyone needs more picture just let me know and I will post more. Thanks.

Whats up everyone, I am in the middle of my Countertop Brutus build and tested out the HLT hooked up to the control panel for the first time. I have run into a couple bumps that I am hoping to get help with. My dad and I wired up the control box with the PID, SSR and 2 outlets for the pump...

HarkinBanks......thanks for the input! Maybe I will buy a CFC and safe myself the hassle.

Whats up everyone I made the below post in the Countertop Brutus picture thread and figured there may be more traffic here. I appreciate everyone's help! "Well this may be the first of many questions as I have determined this is the exact setup I need lol. As I am gathering the pieces to put...

Well this may be the first of many questions as I have determined this is the exact setup I need lol. As I am gathering the pieces to put this all together, I already have a "Chillout" 10 plate chiller from homebrewstuff.com that I would like to integrate into my system. I am wondering if...

Anyone??? Was looking at the Countertop Brutus 20 setup....that may fit the bill.

Top for the afternoon crowd :) I have been playing with my equipment, and my initial thoughts are to use the cooler as a HLT with an element and HERMS coil installed, use the 11g pot as the MLT and the 9g as a boil kettle (I may just stick with propane for the boil). My big problem is I don't...

Whats up everyone! I have been AG brewing for about a year now and would love to transfer away from the electric stove and propane burner into a nice electric HERMS setup. I have been doing a ton of reading and have hit information overload lol. I am only interested in doing 3g and 5g...

Lol....the trick was downloading it in Safari. I originally downloaded in Firefox and that is where the problems started.

Whats up everyone.....trying to install Beersmith 2 on my Mac and when I click on the .dmg file I get an error that "beersmith2.dmg not recognized". I just got this computer and not that familiar with the Mac. Am I overlooking something??? Anyone have an idea how to get this installed....Thanks!

ChillWill....thanks, I am going to give that a try tomorrow. I just happen to have a 1/2# DME and a 1/2# of dextrose laying around.

Thanks.....definitely bitter, hopefully it ages into something good......I just wasn't sure as to what it would be classified as. The bottom end of the American Barley wine calls for an OG of 1.080. I guess I am not to far off.

Whats up everyone, A couple of days ago I posted a recipe for an American barley wine that I threw together in Beersmith. The recipe was extract and is listed below: 6# Pale Extract 3# Amber Extract 1.25# Melanoiden 1# Light Munich .5# Carapils .5# Crystal 30 .25# Carabohemian...

mcwilcr...thanks for the feedback. I am hoping for good results.

Whats up everyone! I am about to venture in to by first "big" beer and wanted to get people's thoughts and insight. I am planning on a nice barley wine with a lot of kick. I am going to do a 3.25 gallon extract. The recipe is as follows: 6# Pale Extract 3# Amber Extract 1.25#...

mabrungard....thanks for the insight. There are no rust stains on the house as the previous owners also had some sort of iron filter installed with the original softner (i believe it uses potassium permanganate).

Wow....thanks for the analysis! I think I will get a sample over to Ward Labs. I recently purchased one of those carbonating caps that you can put on a 2L soda bottle and inject CO2 into. My idea was to add a liter of distilled water to the bottle and then add my salts (including chalk) and...
