This is a great system which has given me years of faithful service owing to its excellent build quality, but the time has come for me to part with it. I have too many competing interests these days, and this is...
I built my own control panel which features a BCS-460 for temp control. It handles pretty much everything I need... mash, boil, chill, fermentation... even did a kettle sour via PID control that turned out awesome. Here's the link to the post with some details on how I've got it set up...
TL;DR: Aside from the boil State, all of my hot side temp control is via PID with the pump On - except for during kettle souring, where PID is used but the pump is off. Cold side is all Hysteresis/Cool. I use the element kit supplied by Nathan and have had no problems with scorching. Read on if...

I was really surprised at how quickly the kettle souring finished. In just about 24 hours the pH had dropped to 3.2! My beer yeast seemed to struggle mightily in the...
Right on, that's logical and well explained. Cheers!
If you're looking for max delta, wouldn't you pipe the coolant into the top? Assuming the coolant's entry temp is the same regardless of port choice, of course.
I got my medium BIAC a few weeks ago and have been slowly putting the rest of the system together. This thing looks beautiful and I cannot wait to brew on it!
As it happens I'm trying to get something together in time for a local homebrew contest on October 1st, and I realized I might be able...
