1 PID Electric Brewery

[P-J]

Also, if you plan on using a rtd probe, I just asked for my pid to come already set for rtd in the comments section on the order page on auber website when I ordered. When I got it I just plugged it in and it was ready to go

Wow.! Suyi Liu (the owner of Auber Instruments) does it again.

Thanks. I'd never think of that. Awesome.!

Gotta hand it to you brother, you've been an enormous help. I followed one of your diagrams to build my simple controller and brewed my first batch without propane this past weekend. Thanks for all you do on this site!
Prost!

Ok so I programmed some of the settings in PID just so I could check to see if the rtd was working properly and it worked great. It actually read the temp in the room perfectly when submerged in a cup of 100 + degree water it was off by only 2 degrees which I plan to correct later with another function of PID. This weekend I plan to clean up all the wiring and close the control box. Once I do that I just have a few more lose ends to finish my keggles, dial everything in and I should be good to go.

A thank you to everyone on HBT as I read countless threads regarding ebrewing and there was a lot of valuable information.

But I cannot stress the how helpful PJ has been during my build. The extent of my electrical knowledge prior to this project was just changing some outlets and things around the house. PJ was able to convince me that I would be able to complete this project. PJ thank you very much. cheers!!

Talk about valuable info. I will be purchasing two in the near future. I wouldn't have thought about having it done right at the place of purchase. I appreciate the suggestion JRems.

Learning the pid functions was hard enough, I didn't want to have to mess with it just to see if it and the rtd worked. I just made the comment in the order page, I never got confirmation That the setting would be set to rtd, but when it came and I plugged it in the rtd worked right away so I'm guessing my comment worked. Glad to help out anyone

I am looking to do this exact same setup. I have the diagram which is awesome and just wanted to double check and see if any had already put together a parts list.

Thanks

I use this diagram and put together a parts list, pm me an email address and I'll email you my excel sheet tomorow. If any one else made one you too should send it so Tom can mix and match.

Wait wait wait - hold on a minute. I bought my PID and RTD together a long time ago, but never asked for this. I just connected them together and they worked. I have heretofore assumed that the PID from Auber automatically worked with either a K-type or RTD as the manual never mentioned the PID being set for one made it incompatible with the other.

If there were ever a reason why I would need to set it for one or the other - how can I do this? I don't recall seeing anything about it in the manual.
