I have actually had to stop drinking all together on brew days; I find that just one or two beers is enough to slightly impair my judgement and increase the likelihood of a careless mistake. Great advice for a beginner!

Geological Engineer (Coal Mining) I also own and operate a small engine repair shop (Because the above job is soul crushing)

My RIMS has a PID electronic temperature control. You have answered my question too. The previous time I brewed, I mashed with my RIMS, and then added my sparge water and ran it through the system for another 1.5 hours, and then drained all of it back into my brew kettle. It was fairly easy, but...

I got my RIMS system all set to go, but I have a few questions about how to actually brew with it (go easy on me, as I am new to this). My question is, a usual recipe calls for a 60 minute mash and a 1-2 hour sparge with additional water. When I used to do basic all grain, I would do just...

Nothing is more American than mixing beer and guns. Here are a few of mine: I like class III, and I really love to shoot .22s.

Awesome. Awesome, man!

Very nice. Care to share your code? I am capable of using the LCD display, but incorporating the push-button coding and menus, and adding the PID temp libraries is a little above my realm of understanding.

That is really cool. Never seen one that big before. Its a shame this is the only one that survived. :(

I'd be very interested if the price was right, especially in the 10 and 15 gallon range.

that wiring diagram will not work if you are running a 4400W element. You will need a diagram for a 220V system I believe.

My comments were not meant to offend anyone. As an out of the box gadget it is really cool. I only stated that i would rather make my own for cheaper. When someone doubted that, I tried to explain that I could. I totally understand that one-offs are far cheaper to build than making hundreds...

I had a similar thing happen to me. After triple and quadruple checking my wires and connections, I realized I had a short that was throwing the breaker. I bet you do too, based on what you are describing.

You can buy an Arduino for $10 on eBay. Code is free. Throw in another $8 for LCD shield with buttons, and $10 relays wire and resistors. Then find a cheap project box to fit it all in. Cords are a dime a dozen from china. Just sayin...I could think I could make one for about $30-$40.

I saw that too. I am a DIYer though, and would rather build my own with an Arduino for about 1/5 of the cost. Cool gadget though.

Thanks. That explained things well. I think I can tackle this now!

I am copying this wiring diagram: I am trying to get my power switch wired, a "1 normally open 1 normally closed" switch. I was trying to go by Auber's instructions located here: http://www.auberins.com/images/Manual/SW11_manual.pdf and I am looking at #'s 11 and 23. They both have "L" in...

this. :ban:

Can you share your code? I am working on a similar project, and your code, especially the LED control code would be INCREDIBLY USEFUL! :mug:

SWMBO is gonna be mad at me. I just bought all the supplies (minus the pump) to start this build. Thanks! :rockin: Can someone point me in the right direction for the kind of female receptacles I need for both the pump and the element?

This is so cool.
