    Electric Brew Panel Troubleshooting

    Guys, It's fixed, I took about 30 minutes to go from 64 to 200 degrees. I boiled 8gal for 60 minutes and it never tripped. I feel embarrassed I should have been able to figure this out on my own, but many thanks to those of you that took the time to help a fellow hobbyist in need. The best part...

    Electric Brew Panel Troubleshooting

    Ok, I checked the element cord plug and it was fine, but then I discovered that the black wire on left out of 240V breaker seemed a little loose. I loosed and re-tighten all of inputs and output and going to re-test probably tonight. I want to make sure they are not loosening somehow trying to...

    Electric Brew Panel Troubleshooting

    Yes, everything look like day one, tight and sealed in clear silicone. Oh sorry thought you were referring to the element box, I will check the plug.

    Electric Brew Panel Troubleshooting

    No smell, no discolored, no loose connections that I can see. When heating water its full on for most of the time it seem to trip right when it goes to start to throttle, will an element pull more amps when turned off/on the off like an electric motor? As indicated I am very close on the amp...

    Electric Brew Panel Troubleshooting

    youre correct I do not have access to an amp probe sufficient to read 25A or more , and my concern is that since it takes almost 30minutes or more to happen troubleshooting a live system for this long to try and register when it trips could be difficult. Would most recommend going with the 32A...

    Electric Brew Panel Troubleshooting

    Yes I have a spa panel that is GFI protected that feeds the Brew Control panel, but it has never tripped nor has the service panel. The only breaker to trip is the non GFI in the Brew Control panel that Doug293cz has correctly noted. Thanks Doug.

    Electric Brew Panel Troubleshooting

    Don't read too much into the time it took to heat it could have been less it was just a guestimate on my part. I looked at the element connections and don't see any corrosion or anything. I got my volt/ohm meter out but I don't trust it. It an old Radio Shack and no matter what I try and touch...

    Electric Brew Panel Troubleshooting

    I do have a volt/ohm meter, when I check the ohms of the element do I have to have the feed wires disconnected to get a valid result? I am pretty sure you're right that that breaker only caries the load of the element and I believe all my heavy wires are 10 gauge, So I will check out the element...

    Electric Brew Panel Troubleshooting

    I believe its 25AMP marked C25, its the dual pole one on the Left of the picture that controls the 240V circuit. I have inspected and don't see any discolored or burnt wires. I checked for loose wire and combined some wires in a connector and then into contactor because I thought I maybe I...

    Totally building an electric biab system

    Nice build, So much has advanced in the e-Brewing field since I started my build 3 or 4 years ago. 1) I like the way you mounted you element with the TC. (I mounted mine Kal style with a outdoor box except its a single gang instead of double gang) 2) I love that Auber came out with the EZ...
