I hooked up the DC control, and 120VAC to one leg of the output of the SSR, but nothing to the other. Then I tested with a multimeter while switching the SSR on and off with the BCS-460. It read 120VAC when it was ON and OFF. I thought something was broken, but it turns out that there is a minimum ...

These are the ones you'll thread on the elements and use the half coupler and element with heat gaskets to weld-lessly attach right?

the SS 1" half couplers I ordered are weldless or you can weld them on if you want.. just cheaper.. I found high temp O rings at the local ACE store.. I plan on keeping it weldless myself.. I did however order the SS "T" fitting .. for my temp probe. much cheaper than the other site ...

actually this is much cheaper from Morebeer for the 1" SS coupler I ordered 2 today. https://morebeer.com/view_product/17446//Stainless_Half_Coupler_1%22 I also found a thread that states the hole size to be 1.315? I am shooting for 1 1/4 and filing larger as needed Brett You missed my point. ...

I am going to build a small hot water tank also for my heat exchanger. Small is better on a tank for this purpose. It is separate from my HTL which I'll use for strike and sparge water. My first foray into the BCS world is my HTL. I am about to test it with my box today if I don't get any more calls...

Brett, not sure what you are asking. I have built a HTL with a keg. It has two 1500W elements. Why do you want a small HTL? Once you get the BCS online, you can start your water hours before you show up to brew? So my two cents says go larger. Am I missing the point? Is that a Boston in your avatar?...

Bryan Rabe here... http://rabeb25.mikesdecks.com/BEER/Brewery/ Brian, Sweet brewery. I just built my BCS box and my first item to control is a HTL. I put up a photo of my box on another thread. I too have not even touched the web based control stuff. One of the beta testers is a friend of mine,Noah...

Here is my box. The RJ45 on the top is for the BCS. The Duplex box on the left has two RJ45s that I will use not for LAN but to hook two remote boxes to this box. I want to have a box to run my fridge with 2 SSRs and a temp probe and another for my chillzilla heat exchanger.

Lots of interesting pics there Zulu. Are those bed frames you used for your sculpture?

Shut up, Jay.

Jay is a brewing buddy as is Noah. We are all in the same club (novahomebrew.com) I think we are all members of BURP as well (burp.burp.org).
