Wow nice! I like that Spike and SsBrewtech have stepped in with quality hardware to compete with Blichmann.

Seems like you could use them and just use the off/on positions.

Does it always take an hour to get to strike temp?

I'll try to answer what I can but I still have no practical experience with this. #1 - Components look good. #3 - From what I've read it's probably best to put the temp probe inline just after the ball valve or after the pump. #4 - A thermometer near the center of your mash could help...

It would be all new wiring. My panel is in the garage so I don't have to run it very far. And I can't fit my car in the garage while I'm brewing so I definitely couldn't charge it at the same time.

240v. Only 16 amps needed for the charger. I'll probably just install two breakers. The EVSE breaker doesn't require gfci since the charger has it's own protection (I forget what it's called). And those breakers are cheap.

I need to power an EVSE charger for my car as well as brew equipment. If I install a 30amp gfci breaker for brewing is it within code to also have an outlet for the charger on that circuit? I wouldn't be using them at the same time and I would only install one outlet but they have different plugs.

Here it is based on the suggested change:

Good idea. I'll do that.

It wasn't clear to me because the one I have is the Teledyne dual SSR. There's the large terminals with T1 and L1 then small pins numbered 1+- and 2+-. I thought the trigger voltage from the PID went to the small pins and the high voltage passed through from T1 to L1. Edit: Here's a pic of the...

Hi! First a big thanks to everyone on this forum for all of the info I have gleaned this year. I started with one of the PJ diagrams then figured out how to do this in Visio. I'll be controlling a Blichmann boilcoil for a 15 gallon pot and a pump. The setup will be a copy of Blichmann's...

That's similar to what I'm planning.

Is the company still owned by him?

#6, pids near top and e-stop not buried in the mix.

Just googled inverted rims and can't find any info. Can you explain how this works?

I think it is hot hot neutral for 3 prong 240v.

OK thanks, I almost get it now. I also found this on stackexchange: http://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/33602/why-do-240v-circuits-not-require-neutral But where I'm still confused it where does the return voltage go? In a 120v circuit it returns in the neutral wire (right?). If both...

Why do heater coils only need to be controlled on one leg of the 240v circuit? It seems like one side would get turned off/on but the other side wouldn't. But I don't know much about the This is the diagram I've been using as a reference but I think all the others are the same. I'm trying to...

I put the hot sugar water in the bottling bucket first then rack the beer on top. Always worried about getting a consistent mixture so all bottles are the same. Anyway, that would give it more time to cool off while you're prepping the siphon.

I have a decent jig saw, I may have a good blade too. If I use the dremel is this the bit? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004UDIB/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
