Hey, I'm pretty sure the answer is yes. But I wanted to check here first. My GF controller just crapped out, and it'll be a couple of days/weeks till I get a replacement. If I just want to replace the controller to get functionality back will any version of the sTC-1000 do? I don't need step...

Looks great. Looking forward to the build, love the stand and stain.

So after a week or two or delay (I built a keezer) I continued work on the panel over the past couple of days. Cutting out the holes, I had concerns about using a dremel instead of paying for the water-jet cut, but I have to be honest, it was easy and I don't really get why anyone would pay to...

Ask and ye shall receive. Here's the parts list for the panel only. I'll post a similar parts list when it comes to the vessels and stand when we get to that point in the build. I did get a couple of great deals and some freebies, but I'm happy with all of the components I've received thus far.

Good point. However you are correct and the amperage rating is not sufficient to be put inline with the element, the max is 1.5A. I also picked up some panel-mount 2-pin connectors for the float switches so once installed it'll be fairly easy. I am making my stand from uni-strut so I'll be...

Yup, saw that on here and thought it was a great idea. Great way to prevent a dry start.

And that brings me to....the wiring diagram! I have a new respect for P-J and all of you who do you own diagrams, this thing took way longer then I expected, not an unreasonable amount of time, but more then an hour (or 3!). Please have a look at this and make any comments. It's pretty...

Thanks, I sourced most of it from eBay, Auber Instruments or Automation Direct. I was planning on posting the parts list after I get the wiring dealt with.

Hi Everyone, Well, after careful consideration and an irrational need to always to building and improving my system, I've decided to go electric. But first... I've been brewing for about 12 years, seriously for about 3 and AG for the last 2. About 6 months ago I moved from stove-top 5 gallon...

I'm in Halifax and I ended up just going with a 30A GCFI breaker from Harris-Roome. The breaker cost me $175 and the cheapest spa panel I could find was $180. There were several places that I found cheaper ones south of the border, but when you factored in shipping and duty it always came out...

That is an excellent argument against unplugging at the keg. Just because I haven't had a boil-over in a long time doesn't mean it won't happen again. What I was proposing is to wire and pot a male L6-30 locking plug directly to the element. From the control box would be a length of cable...

Understood. And I am absolutely looking at locking receptacles, probably going to buy this exact plug as described in the link in the OP. Yes, I know about making suicide cables and the dangers associated with. I was never planning on having live current to a male plug, maybe I was a bit...

Hey Everyone, Long time creeper, first time poster. So I've been researching and reading for the past few weeks as I'm priming to upgrade my 3 vessel propane/gravity system to a e-brewery setup. Although I understand it, I guess I need opinions on a couple of points. 1. What advantage is...
