So I had been planning all along to use the 240v outlet at my dryer to power my electric setup. Two 5500w 240v elements controlled by a PWM. The PWM wants a 12vdc input so it can send a signal to the SSR. Well... I pulled the 4-prong dryer outlet apart today and realize that it had 10/2 wire...

I drafted a model of a 2-tier brewery based on one I saw from Sabco. I couldn't find a picture of the Sabco when I actually went to do the modelling, so I did it from memory. The main thing I question about this design is the placement of the pump. I have never used one and don't know how much...

I wired a PWM according to CD's schematics like many brewers here have done. I tested it on a light bulb and can not get it to dim the light. The SSR will have the 115v line OFF when the pot is cranked to 0%, and then passes current to the bulb when the pot reaches around 50%. It does not dim...

Hey guys, It seems like I've read a copious amount on the topic of controlling an electric kettle and HLT with a PID/SSR combination, yet I still have some questions. My goal is to control the kettles in a very simple way--meaning I would prefer to not use a thermowell or RTD to control the...

They were going to throw away an old oven brush at work. The handle was made of stainless and the brush was beech and brass. So I took it home and decided I'd take the brush off and re-purpose it as a grill brush (I'll weld up a handle for it tomorrow). I had other plans for the stainless...

Hey guys, I recently made a keggle and would like to install an element, using it as a HLT and BK. I've read a lot of posts about electric setups but could not find one that shows a best practice for installing the element. Here are my questions: 1. What type of element is best (I...

Hey everyone, I recently decided to brew a DPA clone, but as I was formulating the recipe, decided to tweak it a little. DPA is one of my favorite beers, but for my version, I wanted to lighten the malt profile a tad and ease up on the aggressive hops. The end goal was to end up with a beer...
