    SSR Fail?

    I can hear how hard it is running in the water when it is turned all the way up and I can hear it pulse when I adjust the potentiometer. However when I leave it on high for more than 10 seconds it get stuck full throttle and I lose the ability to adjust.

    SSR Fail?

    So my system is a 5500W heating element mounted in a keg controlled by a PWM that I built according to Walkers design. Current is controlled through a 40A SSR but something strange keeps happening with it. Every time I go to heat water the PWM works great and I can adjust the heat perfectly...

    PWM trouble

    So I'm not sure how to use the calculator you gave me (I am really a beginner at all of this). I know what my cap number should be but what about my diodes (I am guessing those are the resistors). These are the ones I used...

    PWM trouble

    So trying to swap out parts to troubleshoot didn't work so well (I ended up ruining a terminal) so I decided to try and through one of clearwater's (I think thats right) designs together. After assembling I go to test it out and it works rather odd. The light stays on completely unless I turn...

    PWM trouble

    Just checked around the house, no 12V adapters. I do have 3 computer adapters but they are all like 18-19V. I also have a 6V and a 9V, would any of these work better? If not I may need to go get a 12v?

    PWM trouble

    This is my first attempt at loading a picture so hopefully it works. Also I am currently using a 5V wall wart, I thought i read somewhere that the voltage of the power supply wouldn't matter. I'll see if I can find a 12V laying around and try that

    PWM trouble

    Here is the link to the thread. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/pwm-show-us-how-221301/ I did notice that he made an edit and I built my pwm according to what I believe was a good diagram (one made after he recognized the problem). I have rechecked my circuit board a number of times...

    PWM trouble

    After reading the forum on using a PWM to control a boil kettle i decided to attempt to make my own. I ordered the parts Walker suggested and built the board following his diagram. After testing the circuit out however I find that the PWM is not operating. After hooking it up to a flashlight...

    PWM..Show us How

    So i bought all the components from mouser to build walker's pwm. I have it all assembled and hooked up to my ssr. The ssr I have has an led indicator light. My question is should this light be blinking at a rate that matches how far up I turn the pot. Right now once I turn the pot on the...

    Foamy Beer??

    So I am currently having trouble with a beer foaming up and even though I have done some research I can't seem to figure out why. My situation is this. I have a converted mini-fridge kegerator that holds temp about 39-40 degrees. I have two 5' of beer lines (I think 3/16 ID) that run to...

    Heat Stick Ground Question

    Definitely put the ground wire low on the metal pipe. I use two heat sticks that are almost identical to what you have described which is an 8" chrome plated brass pipe with PVC extension that makes a hook at the end to hang on the kettle. The element coming in contact with the pot does not...

    My kegerator

    I was wondering how tight of a fit it was to get all 4 kegs into the freezer. I see you have ball lock kegs and I was just wondering if there was any extra space because I have pin lock kegs.

    My kegerator

    Thanks the pictures were a big help and you've given me lots of great ideas for my own build. I'll let you know if I have more questions in the future which I'm sure I will.

    My kegerator

    Just wondering if you had any pictures of the process and a list of materials used. Looking into building something similar and any extra information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
