Howdy.
I'm excited to be getting ready to make the jump into E-Brewing (thanks to all of the excellent info here and PJ's awesome schematics). I'm going to head over to a brew buddy's house Saturday to help him brew a batch on his single vessel E-BIAB rig. I'm sure that, after seeing how it compares to my normal 5.5 hr mash tun AG and propane brew day, I'm going to want to start ordering parts soon.
I've been planning out a single vessel (15.5g keggle), recirculating 240V/5500W E-BAIB build based on what others here have been using. A question came to mind today as I was poking around looking at components. I have had my build spec'd out to use the Auberin SYL-2352 PID, Auberin SSR-40A and matching heat sink. Together those three bits run about $83.
A comparable PID, 40A SSR and heat sink from Lightobject (via Amazon, where they get good reviews) total up to $50. Does anyone here use these? Any problems? Are they worth seriously considering in place of the Auberin stuff?
Also, does anyone use these kind of lighted SPDT push-button switches in their panel? http://www.lightobject.com/Blue-SPDT-Push-Button-Toggle-Switch-w-light-P533.aspx Any thoughts?
Thanks!
