    Herms coil - advice needed

    My first herms coil was 1/2" copper and it can be bent but is still prone to kinking and pinching. My second coil, ordered precoiled to my specific dimensions from stainlessbrewing.com is also 1/2" but it is very heavy duty stuff. I can't unbend it if I tried. I don't think a hand bender will...

    voltage drop in SSR

    I use a two pump system, and this one being controlled is a 12vdc pump used for HLT circulation and sparge only. Instead of switching the ssr with 5v I bumped it up to 12v 750mA and it is enough to power the pump. thanks for the help everyone

    voltage drop in SSR

    Connected to lamp, lightbulb flashes periodically. Using a floressent bulb, not sure if that helps either. Like I said before was only reading 23v from the pump outlet. I know theres some power, but not the full `120v.
