    DIY glycol chilled plastic conical fermenters

    It appears OSCSYS no longer sells the 8-channel driver boards, like not even listed on their website. I need a back up; anyone have any ideas where to pick one up?

    Yeah, but at least you will make it to a bowl game. Those of us just a touch south of East Landfill wont even make that. Though at least we don't have to wait until the new year to start the coach search lol

    DIY glycol chilled plastic conical fermenters

    Hmmm.....never really thought about the fact that there were valves that were *normally open* or *normally closed*....How do I find out?

    Also, I fixed the problem with the pump running all the time. I had to use REG0 and REG1 in my ladder logic to connect two groups of rungs, and I had REG0 programmed to auto pump from some earlier point for some reason. Now the only problem is those ball valves auto opening....

    Ok, so I changed the ground wire from one of the group grounds to the 12v neg and it definitely did something. Lights on the driver board seem to be much brighter, and the ball valves seem to actuate a bit quicker. That being said, all the ball valves still open when the system is first...

    DIY glycol chilled plastic conical fermenters

    I am having a hell if a time here guys. Something is definitely wonky with my system, most likely the way I have it programmed. The ball valves all open when the machine is turned on. The pump doesn't stop running when the probes drop below the temp range. Someone please help. I finally figured...

    DIY glycol chilled plastic conical fermenters

    If you look at the ladder logic, each "section" vertically is broken into 4 "rungs". The way that packet has it laid out, it fits in the first section, due to only having 3 fermentors. My question comes when adding additional fermentors. Do I add them horizontally to the left, or do I repeat...

    Hey Tricky. I received all the scan files that you sent last night. Just as a heads up for yourself, I think a couple pages are out of order, but non-the-less, an awesome and crucial save on your behalf. Thank you so much for the contribution! Just one question, for anyone reallly; When...

    DIY glycol chilled plastic conical fermenters

    Anyone have any info on how to program the BCS? I have my system all built, now just having an issue with the programming. I am only using the BCS-462 to control 6 ferm tanks and the glycol cooler (as well as pump), so should be fairly simple. I am just a moron when it comes to this type of...

    DIY glycol chilled plastic conical fermenters

    Packet, I have most everything built and put together, now just trying to figure out how the hell to rig up the control enclosure. Would you be able to provide me with a basic set of instructions as to how the components act together and/or how they should all be wired together? Didn't realize...

    DIY glycol chilled plastic conical fermenters

    So I am in the process of mimicking your build. I would like to double it though. Which of the components, especially in the BCS portion need to be doubled up? I have already purchased the BCS-462 to allow me temp inputs for 6 conicals, just curious about what would actually require doubling the...

    DIY glycol chilled plastic conical fermenters

    I apologize in advance if this has already been listed, but Packet, do you have a full list of items used for this design? Am very interested in building 1-2 of these. Also, do you think if I were to build 2, I could use the BCS-462 and still use a single, albeit slightly larger, cooler and AC...
