Re: E-stop!
I would prefer to have the E-Stop stop all High voltage leaving the box, but allow a couple non-e-stop circuits inside, specifically for the BCS power, wireless adapter, and for my 12v flashing strobe.

Re: Panel almost done.. switches on side or front?

my Brew Buddy app is possessed!
Brew Buddy toggles processes on and off continuously on my BCS-462.... I have the web interface up and when I start Brew Buddy, things get really wacky if I already have a process going or start a process with either the web ui or Brew Buddy.

Re: BCS460 Fermentation Freezer Control Question
