Hi everyone. I'm a new member and my first post!
I made the switch to electric. A week ago I brewed my first e-batch. However, I think I see a problem. My system is a 240 volt, 50 amp, 4 element system, (only 2 on at a time), using 30 gallon pots. The PID, (REX-C700), controls the SSR's for my elements. So they are either on or off.
During the boil, the elements switch on and off constantly to maintain Temperature. So when they are off, the boil stops. I get the feeling I'm not actually doing a 60 minute boil.
So my question... Is there a way to add potentiometers to my SSR's or do I need to replace the SSR's with SSVR's?
Thanks!
