Thinking about installing BCS in my 50 amp control panel. Does anyone have a wiring diagram? I want to see what's involved before I take the dive .

Just an update. New Auber SWA-2451 PID installed. SV @ 154 and it hovers between 154.8 and 154.2. Inkbird PID's suck.

I brewed a milk stout today, and with the combo of flaked oats and barley, I had a hell of a time maintaining temp through my rims. I was mashing at 156 and it would overshoot to 160 so I set it at 154 and it would overshoot to 158.... My thermometer in my mash tun never went over 155 luckily...

I had the same thought but then realized, if I just turn off my rims element I will be measuring the same thing, just after running through the preheated pump and tubes. PID set at 156 (jumping between 154 and 158) Cut power to my rims element The temp immediately drops to 154 I lose .1...

I am using the inkbird ITC-106 for my rims. I have been thinking about changing it out for an auber, I have the EZ boil for my boil kettle and love it, and it has a mash mode, but its wired to my 220v plug, and my rims is wired for 110. Did some more tweaking with the PID parameters and solved...

auguedoggy, what is your control period for your PID set at? I am just curious how its set based on your setup, not asking for setting info for mine, just curious. Mine is set at 1 second So far, I've played with 3 different setups and these are my results. Constants are 5 gallons water in my...

Keggles. I did mine with 13gal euro kegs (a little shorter than 15gal US kegs)

How often does your PID read temp?

I've seen some of your posts in the past on your system, I'm curious what you have your PID for your rims set at? Initially I had scorching on my element with the 1.5" and 14" tube, 8" foldback element and 2" probe at the end. I changed my settings to update more frequently and found the element...

Also since my setup is modular with TC fittings, if I had scortchibg issues I could just flip my last section of tube around and put the temp probe just after the sight glass and my output at the very end .

Anytime flow is stopped in a rims tube there is fear of scortchibg or boiling. That's why there should always be flow . Pumps is always going while my rims tube element is on. The sight glass in the tube is my recent change so I can verify I have flow. The element comes just to the edge of the...

I've been using that for years on my old gas system and the new electric, it works great.

Three-vessel 50L (13.2gal) keggle system on 1 5/8" slotted strut stand. This system took me about 1 year to build, the panel taking the longest but I knew nothing about wiring and taught myself along the way. The panel was very intimidating, but after learning more I quickly became more...

My favorite part, is where I do not die when I brew in my garage with the door closed.:rock:

In my world, 200 dollars is not a few. lol Of course it will be different for everyone, I went with high grade components and since I bumped up to 50 amp went with 3 elements, 2@240 and 1@120 for my rims instead of having a separate controller.

I just got an email last week from Anthony. Their production is starting up again late January and will start shipping out siphons again early February. Sounds like they got their vendor issues dealt with who manufactures the seals and they are made to the correct tolerances and are working...

Famous last words... Its just a few more dollars... I am just finishing up my 50 amp panel, I started with plans for a 30 but I have a 60amp gfci breaker and plug so said the same thing. Its just a few extra dollars... over $175 later.... Not quite. The 50 amp locking inlet on the panel was...

I got fed up with my auto siphon sucking air no matter what I did. It ruined 2 batches of cider on me. I bought this, and quickly realized that all I see is complaints. Just wanted to see if anyone else had their hands on this yet and how its working for them?

What in the world is up with your element and main power cords?? Electrical tape and expandable braided sheathing covering the wires? No offence man, but you are practically begging to get shocked. Electrical is not something you should ever cheap out on. You spent $1000 on a controller that...

How much does your panel weigh?
