I think I'm about ready.........

[Yambor44]

Well.................. sorry to leave in the middle of the game but as some of you know I have sold this Brutus 10 stand and the kettles. I have ordered a Speidel Braumeister 50L and have about 1-2 more weeks before it should arrive. I do have most of the electrical components left if anyone decides they want or need something, shoot me a PM for pricing. It will be less than I paid and will include shipping to the lower 48.

Sorry.

No sh!t?

Do you have your PID's yet or did you sell them? I would buy one or two from you rather than Auber if you are interested.

Yes, no joke.

I have two PIDS left along with the SSR's and heat sinks along with everything else. The only components that are gone went with the RIMS TUBE I sold last week. Shot me a PM on exactly what you may be in need of and I'll give you a package price.

Just sent this PM to nostalgia but if any of you can add perspective on the amount of heat from the SSR heat sink, I would be grateful.

"Was curious, how hot do your heat sinks actually get? I just finished my plain jane control box and an finishing up my subpanel wiring in my garage this week. I currently have my heat sink in a sort of crowded box.

I have two concerns:
1. heat sink getting too hot for the space.
2. that I wired my contactors backwards.

the heat sink is clearly the greater issue

Last page of the thread shows my end result pics

At the closest point there is a wire 3/4'' from the SSR.

I was debating about putting a fan in, or cutting slots in the top for the heat to vent out, or cutting a hole in the side wall of the project box and relocating the sink outside the box. Or a combination of each.

Obviously the build got a little crowded in my project box.

You have any suggestions from your personal experience?"

My SSR and heat sink appear to be the same as nostalgias and I am planning on using a 5500w element. Obviously the sink would get warmer with the more current draw.

Thanks all

Yambor - do you have the RTD's? I still need one but would love to be this one:

[Yambor44]

Sorry Cidah, I do have 2 PIDS and RTD's but it is these:

[CidahMastah]

Yeah I got smart and checked your parts list at the beginning.

I made my control box to use one PID for both elements - never running both at the same time. Otherwise I would jump on a PID.

Thanks anyway!

 

[Yambor44]

No sweat!

To everyone else, I have a PM into someone interested in some or all of what I have left. Once he/she is finished I will post all or what is left to see if there is any interest before placing in the classifieds.

Thanks again to everyone for all of your help. Sorry to let you down but I thought it would be easier (wiser/safer) for me to simplify my brewing process electrically with the Braumeister as I don't know anything about all of this. If I had something not working at any given time, chances are I wouldn't know how to fix it.

 

[CidahMastah]

I will check out your parts list when you post. I am still considering putting in an alarm and need one, and a switch to turn it off. Perhaps a few other nick knacks!

Better to accept you don't know what you don't know, then jump in headlong and potentially have a serious accident.

 

[Yambor44]

Yeah, I figured I got in about as far as I could on the money part. Just didn't feel confident in my abilities (patience) to put this all together. My blood pressure has been a little high lately and I figured this wasn't going to help it! At least this way I only have one pot to clean!!

Paul is going to be so disappointed....

 

[CidahMastah]

A nice HB should help with the BP

Sigh.! Yea. And you didn't even PM or email me about your thoughts.

Crap. If I thought you were that deep in **** over the build, I would have made a trip.

Sorry my friend. I knew this was what I needed to do and you would have talked me out of it!

 

[Yambor44]

Here is what I have left MINUS 1 PID and 1 RTD 2" Sensor. There are 2 pids and 2 RTD's in pictures. One of each have since been sold. I have added everything up that I have left and total is just over $700.00. I will ship everything in the picture to the lower 48 for $450.00. I will post on classifieds tonight.

Are you willing to sell pieces out?

If so, and those are the 5500W elements, I would take one or maybe two on the left off your hands (for spares) possibly an RTD probe (do they twist off to disconnect at the tip from the probe?) and some of your wire (is that 10/3 600v? how long?)

I just bought another SSR for a backup, but would have grabbed one of those as well.

PM me a price if interested. How will the shipping cost be factored in?

Sent you a PM!

Your next in line Cidah. I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from the first person.

Thanks!!

Rob,
Let me know what you have left. I'm interested.
