That was one frustrating brew session. One lesson is never brew with a sinus infection, the mental processes are on slow speed. I won't relate all the stupid things I did. I rewired all the grounds to a terminal block for the probes and it seemed to fix the problem. However for some reason I oversho...

Recently my RIMS seems to have a mind of its own. When the 3 way switch was in manual or off the RIMS temps kept rising. About to brew today and decided to tear things apart before proceeding. I took the SSR and the switch out and independent of the system tested them with a light bulb and/or meter,...

"You must also use a pump to move the wort across the element. A control relay must be installed that prevents the element’s control relay from closing unless the pump is operating. There are quite a few ways to accomplish this, but your system should be wired so that the element cannot energiz...

Hi there, I've lost my power supply for my bcs-460 in the Nashville flood.

Thanks all!

Maybe I just don't understand the process, but can't for the life of me figure out how they work. When I am mashing out 168F and the temp on the RIMS heater shows 164F, why does the PID/RIMS heater go on and off instead of steady on? Is it not wanting to overshoot? But 4F seems like a big gap to be ...

I am so far from being an expert on this kind of stuff but the first & only thought I have is what browser are you using? Firefox is the choice to use, IE worked for me the one time I tried it but with some strange things, that's why I wonder about it. If that is not it, wait for the pro respons...

So this thread got me thinking about actually using the alarm and I tested my system today. No alarm at all sounded. With the default alarm shouldn't it just go by itself. I had it set to loop and nothing happens. On a Mac if that makes any difference. I had to find a MP3 file that could be referen...
