I am building my system with (2) 5500W each in the HLT and BK. I will be using a PID for each kettle with an 25A SSR for each element. Also have a 2 pole 30A contactor for each element before the SSR. The manual for the PID controller says it can operate up to 5 SSRs in parallel. I'm only going...

My father used to make it when I was a kid. Always in a larger crock 10-15 gal. He had an old wooden slicer (3 blade) , used only Kosher salt, smashed the layers down with big maple tamper and covered it with a piece of cheese cloth. This was held down with a large flat rock. I remember him...

I am planning on splitting up the feeds into two 30A circuits and keeping the cost of plugs and cable down. Those 60A 240 single phase plugs and recepticles get...

Looks like these will be the kettle and HLT

Welcome from Feeding Hills. I getting started again and looking foward to sharing info on this site.

Like most I began brewing with a home kit. I brewed for several years and then as life changes I just couldn't seem to find the time anymore. So I had gifted all my equipment to my son. Who, by the way has gotten great use from it. But I'm getting that urge to start again. Not being an Indian...
