Looking for some help 120v 2 element HERMS panel build

[plateman]

Hey eBrewers,
Down sizing to 3 gallon brews due to space.
After 20 years of propane and harsh cold\hot brew days, going bigger with every upgrade, I've sold it all and moving to small batch brewing. 5 gallon pots, HERMS, same design as the standard 2 pump, 3 vessel, 3 PID, "Kal" system. Anybody know of a wiring diagram that has been published, or thoughts of one that could be modified?
Space, tables, pots, coil, ventalation, plumbling, power supply,
all ready to go, working on panel now.

Any direction of help would be welcomed.

For clarity, do you want two elements in both the HLT and BK, or one in each?

I don't have a diagram, at least not one that would make sense to anyone but me, but I did just wire up a control panel with two 120v circuits. It's a two-vessel, two pump, no sparge set up.

FWIW, I was able to build mine with a single EZBOIL controller by wiring it to a 12 pin 4PDT switch. During the mash I flip the switch to read the temp in the mash tun, and during the boil it reads the BK/HLT. Might save you some money over using three separate PID based controllers. Of course I assume you're not doing back to back batches, inferring from the fact that you down sized.

TexasWine,
Thanks for the reply. I’ve attached a photo of the panel face, which should help to clarify as well. I’m planning to use 3 vessels. HLT w/HERMS coil, single 2000w 120v element from Bobby. BK will have the same element, both controlled by PIDs, 2 pumps, manually controlled. 3rd PID, naturally will monitor the mash temp.

Any insight, sketch will be helpful.

Thanks
