So I was finally able to get some work done on this. I collected some parts and decided to get my power supply set up but ran into a small problem that someone might be able to help with. I am lucky enough to have an existing 50 Amp line running to a spa panel for a hot tub that no longer...

Awesome! Another question if someone can answer. Based on my diagram is there a way to tell how many amps will actually be switched by this switch

Jwelch, thanks for the info... The question is now if a 10 amp rating at 250 volts is sufficient for a 30 amp system at 240 volts

Nice, thanks. So you used that for switching the high currant load without a contractor?

Hi All, I am collecting parts to make my control panel that will be based off of this PJ diagram. I have all parts other than the switch that switches power between the kettle and the HLT. The diagram suggests Mauser part number 633-8333-RO for this switch. I can not find it on their site...

Well, after having a baby this spring my progress really slowed down but the stand is finally finished :ban: the shelf and top are made of cheap whitewood 2x6 from home depot that I planed down, and cut to width to fit the stand. I then use biscuits in the joints and glued them up. I...

A question along that thought. Can one run a 30A system on a 50A supply without problems or safety concerns? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Home Brew mobile app

Vaheel, did you ever finish this build? It is exactly what I have been looking for Sent from my VS980 4G using Home Brew mobile app

Nice work! I am planning a build just like this but I have a question for anyone who might know. Could you do the exact same build with a 50A service with an upgrade to the appropriate components and only run one 5500w element at a time safely? I want to allow expansion to be able to brew at...

Thanks guys, great suggestion. I may go this route once I get my stand built. I really want to avoid duplicating work but just getting the kettle running will get me back brewing much sooner. Thank you for the word of caution on the electricity, I have an electrician friend who will review my...

So, I just cant stop thinking about this project. I have not brewed in a few months and I have started to build my brewing stand for a PID based eHerms system. I have been pouring over all of the options I can go with using PID's and I have been considering many of P-J's incredible diagrams...

Thanks, I'm planning another 2x4 between the legs and something that runs between those to support a shelf underneath for pumps and what not. Sent from my VS980 4G using Home Brew mobile app

Here are some pics of the stand in progress. I'm welding with a Chicago electric 90A flux wire welder that I picked up for under 100$ with a coupon a while back. I don't have hardly any welding experience and this I my first welding project. I seemed to get the hang of it and the welds seem...

Hey all, I have been hanging out for a while asking a few questions here and there but mostly learning. Well I recently decided to pull the trigger on my build. I have found it very difficult to find the time to drag all of my equipment up from the basement to the garage for an all grain brew...

Was that a kit from ebrew supply or did you piece that together? I have finally decided on a setup and it will be identical to this. I really like the diagram from P-J. Thanks again for your help. Have you made any more progress? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Home Brew mobile app

I love this design! I know it has been a while but I am dying to know if you have a parts list for this Squeeky? Also, are you still brewing on it and if your still satisfied with it. I'm planning my build and budget is huge for me and this looks like the ticket. Thanks, Nice work!

Celtic, thanks for posting on my thread about making the decision on what system to run. This is looking good and thanks for posting it. Keep the updates coming as id like to see how this turns out. Are you just running 1 PID to control the HLT temp? will you then just do a constant resirc?

Makes sense Kal, thank you!

So what you are telling me Kal, is that I need to build the system that I want, brew on it and then worry about my controller?
