Re: Brewers Hardware RIMS Tube Beta Testers Needed

Thanks for everyone's interest and support! I've reached the limit for beta testers. We'll find out about the thermowell being too close to the element, I might make it shorter depending on the results. You'll also be able to order it with a 1/4" compression fitting instead of the thermowell w...

Re: BCS Power Supply?

I have been around and around (in my head) about the power supply. I want to mount the BCS inside my control panel box. I really don't like the space requirement of having a receptacle inside the box to plug the transformer into. I bought a din mount receptacle, but hate the wasted space required. M...

Re: Programming questions.

Yes, all of the processes are in the config file. Its documented here . Its read out as a comma separated list, so you can read with excel, etc. One of the features that we're working on is the ability to save/restore a single process, so when that's complete would would be able to create a base pr...

Re: Programming questions.

I re-programmed my BCS-460 last night. I created 4 processes: HLT, Mash, Sparge, and Boil. The processes are fairly involved and were a pain to program. Programming is very easy, but it is very time consuming and tedious. The need to select from drop downs, click radio buttons and scroll up and down...

A couple questions about programming the BCS-460... Is there a tool that can document the processes as programmed? Or are the coo...

Re: Programming questions.

I'm finally getting around to programming the BCS and working toward getting away from using it in pure "Manual" mode. As a result, I have plenty of question and I'm sure there will be even more as I proceed. Should I start a thread for each question, or just continue to append to this thr...

Re: Programming questions.

Is it possible to disable a running Process from a State within that process? So basiclly the goto on the exit of the final state would be "Disable Process". Or maybe even have a win input set to "Shut Down" Yes, when you specify your exit condition, instead of going to a new st...
