Disclaimer: If you are uncomfortable working with mains voltage, consult a proper electrician. This is a rough layout via paint. The bottom relay controls heat, so you don’t need to use that one if the Pi and Arduino are wired per the original drawing. Just using the cooling relay is pretty...

I’ve not used carafa before, does it lend a pale chocolate malt flavor? Is the finished beer like a porter or something else?

DM sent, let me know thanks!

That sounds like TC connections but with more steps🤣 But really its up to preference and what you want to spend and clean. I finally got my brewing system distilled down to one style of fittings and am so happy with the flexibility and ease of cleaning (TC w//hose barbs). I’ve seen setups...

Yup, well said- thanks for the help and your support to the homebrew community! Close, living in Texas currently 😂😂 I agree, sizing & installing an appropriate socket is the safest bet to not burn something up, cheers!

Thanks for the reply- I think I glazed over this while planning the panel. All of the breakers in the house are 20 amp, but none of the outlets are 20 amp receptacles (sideways prong) :eek: I’ll have to talk to the owner to install some 20 amp receptacles (as long as wire in the wall is 12 awg...

Whilst shopping around for a short extension chord to feed my EBIAB control panel, I became confused by the amperage ratings on the chords. My control panel needs 2 separate 120v/20a circuits to feed 2 elements (2250w & 1650w), a pump, and various LEDs, contactors, & relays. The 2250w element...

Great point! I have a working CBPi 3.x that I don't plan on pushing updates to. Similarly, there's undoubtedly a number of brewers out ther still using horsehead or strange brew without any meaningful support in recent history. So, it should work for a while, but is definitely a snapshot in...

Thanks for the reply! The volt/amp meter make sense, and the E-stop as well, though I'll likely try it as the only master switch & see how it goes :D About the led on these auber switches, I updated the wire drawing to what I envisioned. Using just the led on the switch, could this work on the...

Thanks for the reply! I'm planning on using the Auber LED toggle switches, so I'm hoping I can wire each of them to illuminate when power is actually going to the pump or element respectively, but that's likely going to be tough with three way switches & when the element switch controls the...

Hi all, I'm finally coming around to electric brewing and am starting off with a 3-vessel E-HERMS setup wiith the following features: -20 Gal HLT, 5500W 240v element, HERMS coil -SS Brewtech insulated MLT, no direct heat -Direct fire BK -2 pumps, TC everywhere feasible -CraftBeerPi controlled...
