Re: My RIMS

The pictures on my computer are to large to upload and the links from homebrewtalk worked for a few hours and then stopped. I can e-mail them to you if you want to take a look at what I have.

If it went to pre-heat immediately I would risk burning an element. Exit = time getting to 0 Go to State 1 or click on win0 which I labe...

Re: Stainless Steel Float Switch
