I've just started researching brewery automation and looking are sourcing parts on a budget. I was curious if my assumption is correct on being able to partner this board.

I realize I would have to manually wire the input, but at $26 I could do a little soldering, or purchase a separate cable from digi-key.
Thanks

Re: Relay board?
That's a nice looking board for the price. I used this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Eight-8-Relay-M ... 3a597608f1
This will be fine for your low voltage valves, but you can't run your pumps or other high voltage devices from it. You'll need SSR's for those.

Re: Relay board?
You better make darn sure that with that relay board a high input makes the relay click, not grounding the input, or you will have a paperweight... I know...
search here for relay boards....
FYI - the Electronics-Salon one above posted by Jon is what I recommend also.. but I do use them for pumps, contactors, etc, they can handle 10A@250VAC
