Here is a basic list of the major items:
BC 44Qt SS Pot with basket
5500W Canco Ripple Element
2" TC Element Guard from StillDragon
Auber 2362 PID
Sestos Timer B2E-2R-220 from Amazon
SS Chugger Pump
Dubadiesel B3 36A Heat Exchanger
25a SSR from Amazon (will be replaced with 40a SSR)
Panel Lights and Switches from Auber
Pachard C240B 2 Pole 40a Contactor
Rolling Cart from Harbor Freight
Twistlock Plugs from Amazon
I did a test run today with a few observations.
1. Priming the pump before heating any water made it easy. I still think I will add a Tee and valve on the outlet of the pump for priming.
2. I overshot the starting temperature by 5 degrees this time, hopefully this will improve over time. Also, it takes a long time for the temperature to drop. I plan on setting the mash temp 5 degrees low next time and then bump it up after I reach the setpoint.
3. The two position switches from Aubor operates differently than I thought. I order them with 2 NO contacts each expecting each position to switch based on position. In the left position I expected the left contact to make and the right one to be open and the opposite with the switch in the right position. As it turns out, they both operate the same. Both off in the left position and both on in the right position. I have order two new NC contacts so my red LEDs will work properly.
4. None of the LEDs, lights and those on the PID and timer are very visible in the sun light.
5. I need to add a switch to silence the alarm buzzer, it can get annoying!
6. I am not sure how to handle the recirculating on the boiling wort to sanitize the chiller. The return port is on the lid that is not needed during this phase. I just sat the lid on the top at a slight offset but I am not really comfortable with this as I am risking spilling boiling wort.
