Troubleshooting help

Well, I can see it's a 240v panel with a main. Probably your service disconnect.

It looks like a GE with a lot of mini breakers. Can you zoom in on your brewery feed breaker? I can't see exactly what that is.

Sorry. The image covers a huge section of the wall and what needs to be seen is a much closer image of the breakers. I'm not able to see the breaker or the wiring of it.

This is the only other picture I have on my phone.

If you remove the breaker above your feed breaker, move the two pole feed up one space and reinstall the one you removed on the bottom, I think you'll have it.

That would be awesome if that's all it is. I'll try it today. I would think at this point that it would have to be breaker related at least.....

It's those GE minies. The two poles have to span both stabs. When you pull them out, you'll see the issue.

I believe you have the answer - these boxes are setup as (with + being one 120V side & - being the other 120V side).

So, the breaker is plugged into -- and needs to move up one to be plugged into +-.

very interesting. That makes sense and I had no clue about that. I'll switch them and report back with good news hopefully.

It works! Now I just need to figure out why the temp probe isn't reading correctly

Make sure your PID is set for the right probe type.

Awesome! I just got a chance to check back in. I actually enjoy electrical troubleshooting but it's a bit frustrating and more time consuming long distance via a forum...anyway, glad you're in business.

As suggested, it sounds like just PID parameters to set now. Good luck.
