Thanks!
I brew in the garage (SWMBO) will not allow me in the kitchen. As such, I am going to add a new circuit to the main panel regardless. Guess I will probably add 50 amp breaker, buy a 50-60 amp w/ GFI Spa Panel and run 30 amp wire from there to where I will brew, which is about 30 feet away.
Great thong about these switches is you can pop them off any time if the wiring is getting to tight or crowded.
Wire to feed the cooling fan transformer is connected to the PID switch so it will always be on when the PID is on.
Getting hard to tell what is what. Wiring to the pump switch done.
The PID wired up like I want. The alarm has a hot jumper going from #10 to #13. A jumper from #14 to #1 will make sure I can use the one alarm on the high and low perimeters.
The lid is done.
Lid organized and zip tied.
Inside the case done.
Case cleaned up and zip tied.
I have collected all the parts and am ready to wire it up. For some reason I can't see the pics anymore. Awesome build, and was going to use the pics as a reference with one of Pj diagrams. Have the pics been removed?
Here's the result..
That works. The way you have them spaced you can add many more in the future if needed.
brewmcq, I hope you will post pictures or do a thread on your stainless bucket filter. That is going to leave a huge dent in your wallet. I considered making a SS mesh filter but the cost was too prohibitive for my blood. pressure.
<snip> It took me a while to realize that the flow needed to be slow anyway.
<snip>Small grain bills will flow like there is nothing in there but for large grain bills you have to choke it off a bit or you will dry fire the element and end up with wort all over the floor.
seems like a great build. To bad the pics aren't showing.
Aubiecat, is this build still working for you? Have you had to replace anything? I'm curious about the SSR. Seems like a lot of other folks are buying from Auber, but your Amazon purchase is about half the price. Definitely a fan of saving some cash.
Let me know how the raspberry pi option works out, and how much of your existing build as described in this thread can be used (or not) using that option. I was looking at the Brew Boss kit for just the controller and thought maybe that would be an option - which makes me cringe because I am almost done with the build as described in your thread. Already thinking about "next"Sorry it took forever to reply. I don't remember getting a notice of a reply to the build thread.
Everything electrically is still the same and the system as a whole is still he same. The SSR I bought from Amazon is still in perfect working order.
The only thing I had to replace was the sight glass because someone grabbed and it cracked.
I am now acquiring parts to turn it into a RaspberryPi controlled system so I can be even more lazy during brewing than before, if that is possible.
Hi terrific job, congratulations.
I am new to brewing, have done two batches of BIAB until now but one question occurred me.
The flow of wort shouldn't pass thru the whole height of the grains, and if so, should just the bottom be punched?
thanks for the beautiful work and sharing all this.
Aubie, when you did this, what was the total outlay to do this cash/cost wise?
Got the top and recirculating tube finished.
