EZboil, Power Regulator for Boiling DSPR110

[jimyson]

I'm using this happily on an e-biab setup for both mashing and boil and it works awesome. Mash temps hold like a champ and Once I boil, I drop down to about 75% to maintain a nice boil.

Can anyone comment on how easy it is to hear the built in buzzer?

 

[jimyson]

The built-in timer alarm is a beep and I personally don't think it's that loud.

 

[The_Bishop]

It's decently loud, but not 2 rooms away loud.

I would agree with this. Especially if you have ventilation running.

 

[cod3ck]

Anyone tried this with an eHerms? I imagine it'll work like a champ, just curious to hear feedback!

Ok, thanks. I wish they had put an alarm output. That would make this perfect.

I contacted Auber about this a couple of months ago. I wanted to change out my Auber PID for this and I wondered about the alarm output because my current setup is already wired for the alarm. Auber told me to wait a few months because they were developing another version with the alarm output.

excellant!!!

I bought the first version and have it working, after disabling the timer which is a good idea but I didn't need it, I used it several times and liked it and decided to buy another but their back ordered now till 7/11 guess we all have to wait

I wonder if the additional alarm output feature would be why they're out of stock tip July? I hope so.

So I've written to Auber twice in the last two weeks with no response back in regards to wether or not the DSPR110 & 210 will have alarm terminals added. They have not responded. I just called their tech support line and Verizon has a service message saying its temporarily unavailable. I'm a little disappointed. Really, I would like to buy one of these to save me from having to go through the trouble of learning to code Arduino to get what I want, but they seem to be hard to get ahold of, and their product keeps going on back order. Does anyone know if the latest batch ha an issue and that's why it's now in back order until the 29th?

have you seen this yet, not sure if the back ordered supply has changed anything but these are available on the site now

Those are the ones I'm referring to. The manual does not show any alarm relay terminals. If you look back in this thread someone mentioned that they were thinking about adding them. I just want to know when.

so far the alarm is embedded and Ive tried it out, its not too loud or too soft but you need to be at least within 20 feet to hear it

by the way it has a very accurate mash temp setting, doesn't overshoot and pulses pretty fast

Yeah, I've not seen anything about it I don't like other than the alarm issue. I work on jets, so sometimes I don't hear stuff.

This what I received from them today in my email.

"Hi Ian,

Thanks for being interested in our products. Some information for you:

1. We are working on a new version of EZBoil with alarm output, but we don't have a release date. The current version EZBoil DSPR110/DSPR210 will be back in stock in about two weeks promisingly."

Well [emoji90] looks like i have to wait a while or learn to code.

Brewboss or hosehead have greater automation capability. The later is more expandable. For the record I have neither just a pid and the dspr1.

Both of them are viable options, but more than I want to budget. Plus, I've already got a control panel, and all the contactors, SSR, etc. all I need is the temp probes and controller. I may see if I can find a local guy to help with one if the simple Arduino programs like Ardubir or another. While being able to plot out the mash temp in a spreadsheet or totally automate a mash schedule is totally cool I really need to remember why I am making the switch to electric anyway. It was only to cut down on my propane use, increase the system efficiency, and help make my mashing process consistent. Hose head didn't look too bad though.

Ran my first mash on ezboil Saturday and it worked like a champ. Can't wait to run all three vessels on them.

Any of you guys have thoughts on the $20 to add the 0.1F resolution on the controller by going to the DSPR210?

[The_Bishop]

You only get that resolution in distilling mode, not mashing mode. I think the firmware is different in regards to boiling, etc.

Well, that solves that dilemma.

Probably better off improving your mash tun and plumbing insulation.

Got an email from Auberins asking if I'd like to upgraded my backordered DSPR120 to a DSPR300. The DSPR300 comes with two relays for an alarm trigger... Perfect.

 

[angrybits]

The DSPR300 looks pretty sexy from the description, it appears the relays are programmable to the point where you could operate some fairly sophisticated processes.

 

[BeardedBrews]

The DSPR300 looks pretty sexy

Man! You aren't kidding. They didn't just add an alarm relay, they added two brand new programmable outputs and they kept the internal alarm.


If I wasn't tempted to ditch my basic PID before, this looks awesome! I could automatically heat to Strike using 240v and then use one of the new relays to flip a contactor over to 120v when I am over 145.

 

[Ozarks Mountain Brewery]

I took out 2 of my pids and am using DSPR1 for the boil and the DSPR120 for the mash and loving both, they keep a better control and easier to change than a pid, I don't use any alarm or lights so the DSPR120 it fine, did a test yesterday and kept the mash to whatever I wanted up or down using the herms, only tested a few degrees up or down I know water isn't the same as wort

 

[jmrybak]

Hey all,

I'm in the process of planning and building out a 5g 120v eBIAB setup where I will likely use my stove top to boost temps for strike water heating and bringing things up to a boil. I dont have easy access to 240v and live in a smaller downtown apartment. I don't know much about electrical work and really like the looks of the small and clean Brausupply 120v controllers. the 120v Brausupply units now come with either a PID or EZBoil controller. Cost is about the same. I am looking at the setup as below, with the heating element to be controlled with a 120v controller, would you recommend the EZboil or PID model based on your experiences? Thanks for any help with the desicion!

10g Spike kettle with custom 1.5" TC ferrules
--TC side pickup tube
--TC whirpool return
--TC heating element port with 240v (for lower wat density) integrated TC elelment from brewsupply
--Second TC heating element port in case I want to go all electric later using 120v and can double as probe port

March pump for recirculation

silicone tubing with camlock fittings
