No, they were first, I used them for a lot of inspiration and definitely owe them for the component selection. I wanted some other features and changed the circuit design completely from theirs.

Hey man, hope you get this message..the wiring diagram has helped me no end thank you...I was just worried about having the 2 negatives on the HLT and Mash PID (the SSR outputs) commoned up...no issue with backfeeding from one to another when one switches on? Or are the negative terminals always negative and it just switches the positive on when it needs to? Thanks
@azwillnj4 жыл бұрын
No, there is no back feeding, that's why the element power switch has 2 contractor blocks to keep the 2 feeds separate, they then go to the 2 separate contractor blocks on the PID select switch.

great build by the way... a few points of note that may help... (1) you may want to shorten the pick-up tube in the boil kettle so that you pick up from the very edge of the pot vs the center... where you have it now, the tube will get a ton of the gunk from the center of the bot via the whirl pool... (2) any whirl pools typically work best when they are submerged. Your Hot Water Tank has it coming back above the liquid level. The one in the boil kettle looks low enough but points down...whirl pooling typically work best when the flow is radially "flat" vs oriented up or down... (3) during your start of the mash, it went quickly when you added water but you should try under-letting (fill the tun via the outlet) which helps absorption and eliminated dough balls. Based on your set up, it's just a matter of moving the hose. It helps immensely especially on larger grain bills rather then stirring a ton of grain to get it mixed...

And for all that I just wanted to say thanks my brother brewer. I put together my system in 09 to be gas fired, but am now modifying it to also brew E-HERMS, and your video here has helped me so much. I'm a keggle brewer as well. And you have really inspired me in so many direction's with my system.

you may want to consider in the boil kettle to change the straight NPT x Compression Straight fitting for your outlet to a NPT x 90deg Compression Elbow so that you pull off closer to the edge of your pot. it looks like your pickup may be too close to the center that you may be picking up the gunk from the center of the whirlpool.

First of all, excellent system you've put together. I am also on the path to having a HERM system. I'm curious how long it takes to cool your wort using your HLT? I had the idea I would be building a counter flow wort chiller as most do, until I saw this video. Cheers
@clivemilne77878 жыл бұрын
Just a minor point which could be a source of confusion.. A couple of times you refer to your temperature sensing elements as 'PT100 thermocouples' There is no such thing.!!. PT 100's are RTD's (resistive temperature devices) Thermocouples generate voltage (at the junction of dissimilar metals) - A completely different principle. If someone didn't understand the distinction and bought a PT100 rtd and tried to connect it to a thermocouple PID controller, they would end up confused and ultimately pissed off once they discovered it was never going to work. 2c

Great work! Please help me comprehend how it functions. What does the mashtun pid control? I would make it control the pump so than when my mash temp goes down the mashtun pid turns on the pump and makes the wort recirculate till the temp rises to where its set. I cant understand the way you have it setup... Sorry for my ignorance :)
