Just Ordered a 9.2 gal Stout Electric Kettle with a Tangental Inlet. I am planning on using the PID function to control the Element. I use a Chin Chiller (Wort on the Inside and HLT on the Outside) as a HERMS and this has worked very well as a method of controlling my MASH Temp which I have been doi...

Also they are DIN Rail Ready!! Basically the same price with or without the Heat Sink at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0087ZTN08/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They also come with a cover which is better. The real splurge was a monster Heat Sink on the enclosure, but if we ...

Yeah, But they really look cool.


We may eventually go All Electric. Some time ago we purchased a 20 gallon brew kettle. We debated on getting a 30. we should have gone with the 30. Same here. Bigger is Better (in the long run).

I am running out of available wires in my build. I have a 4 wire 16 ga shielded cable with 2 wires free. The inside wires are not shielded from each other. Red and Green are being used to send a control signal to two relays. Can I use the White and Black to send 12vdc in the same wire back to the BC...

I am sure that I understand most of Ramp Mode, The issue I do not understand is if I can have different Ramps with different Start, End and Time. As you can see in the Graphic, I have 2 Outs selected but there is single Enable,Start, End and Time blocks. (I have Checked that the Outs, Temps are enab...

Progress. Relay Board

Sweet 4.0!

Can I have more than a single Out to control the same Burner via the same SSR? “Out0: HLT Burner(1)” = Furnace Valve for Banjo Burner HLT “Temp0 :MLT Probe” associated with Out0 “Out1: HLT Burner(2)” = Furnace Valve for Banjo Burner HLT “Temp1 :HLT Probe” associated with Out1 When doing Mash with HE...

Thanks for the Replies. I am beginning to think I have my head around the automation now. I would agree that if the BCS can automate it, I want to do so. I am not going to order 37 electromechanical valves yet, but would love to. I have thought about splitting my gas into two feeds with separate nee...

I was "thinking" that that might work with Propane as well. Certainly" "bang bang" control. But would simply easier to adjust the needle valve manually and have it Directly On like I do now. That being said, I have read and re read article after article dealing with PID cont...
