Re: Joyride Brewing Company

CD, We use 24VAC George Fischer motorized ball valves to open and close the 2" steam supply to the boil kettle. The 10" probe in the boil kettle inputs to the BCS, and through a simple temp loop statement in the BCS, sends the output signal to a solid state relay board to open and close a ...

Re: Joyride Brewery

Thanks for the props! It's made by Panduit and comes in different widths and heights. It's the only way to go building a clean looking control panel that you can revise, you buy it at an electrical supply house, (or maybe online?).

Re: Joyride Brewery

Thanks Jon, the BCS-462 systems are working great. After a few months of operation, they want me to modify some temperature controls on the fermenters to a 5 degree swing timed temperature process for 24-48 hours higher to lower then stabilize at an ending fermentation temperature, so I want to get ...
