Nice! What temp probe did you go with, the Auber?

How does the upgraded cable from Auber connect to your controller box? Is it a female XLR jack, or something else? I'm about to pull the trigger on my Auber order and want to make sure I'm getting the right parts. Thanks!Yep, the Auber rtd with cable upgrade. Seemed like the right choice for others so why not me too...

What a great thread with a wealth of information! Thanks for contributing!
I've read through this thread a couple of times, I'm either blind in one eye and can't see out the other, or it wasn't posted; is there a 240 single element version of P-J's diagram? If so, can someone mention the post number or re-post?
This setup is exactly what I need to get me out of the cold garage during these seemingly endless Wisconsin winters.
Thanks in advance!

This is the thread that supposedly documents PJ's wonderful help.

First one is a single element, 30A set up.
P-J,
Thank you, Sir!
You give of your time and talent so generously!
It's greatly appreciated and I salute you for it!
Take care,

Hey, There is no way that you can "pester" me. I'm pleased to be able to help you.***EDIT*** I found it listed in the 16th post in the parts list!!
P-J,
Are these the contactors you had in mind when ginning up these diagrams?

Thank you for your time....and sorry to pester you.
Take Care,

Can anyone tell me the benefit of a resistored heating element?
http://www.grainger.com/product/RHEEM-Resistored-HWD-Element-15A528?opr=APPD&pbi=2E754
Searched the interwebs only to find that it helps "prolong" the element, but didn't state how. Would we benefit from using these?
Yeah, getting close to purchasing everything for the build, hence the additional questions.
Thanks again,
DHB
I really like the idea of recirculating, as seen on page 2 of this post.
The issue I'm having trouble wrapping my head around, is the recirc looks like a race horse (if you know what I mean). What's the best way to throttle that back? Restrict the flow by way of the ball valve? Have a rheostat to adjust the pump speed? Pros? Cons? What do the ones who have built these have to say?
Thanks in advance!

throttle with a ball valve attached to the "out" side. Dont want to limit the flow into the pump

If you get the Great Breweh pump that the OP lists than you can have the ball valve before the pump and throttle with no problems. I called Great Breweh directly when I was building mine and they confirmed there are no issues doing this. I've been doing it for over a year now and it's been all good.
