SAMPLER
Well-Known Member
To start off, I apologize if this is posted in the wrong forum but based on the amount of electrical questions and technicalities I figured it would be appropriate.
I'm in the process of building a Brutus 10 clone and will include a heating element in the HLT to maintain water temp, mash temp as well as to sparge with. I am coming from a success 2 tier system with little electronics but want the ability to monitor temp in both the HLT and Mash for more consistent brew sessions. Over the years I had been challenged with fluctuation in temp creating variable uncontrollable with each session. Nothing that has effected my person taste for each batch but being able to duplicate a batch was always difficult.
I after debate and extra thought I am going to be running a dedicated 20amp line just for the brew stand. This will obviously be a single 120v 20 amp GFI breaker. I'm not looking for full electric brewing just enough for a single low-density 2000W 120v element. I will be propane as my main fuel source which is why I should be fine with supplementing with the electric element to maintain temp.
I have a 12x12 box and a list of items I have already purchased. I hope all is in line with what I need and will create a list of items not yet purchased.
Here is a general idea of what I am looking for set up.
1 PID for HLT (HERMS) temp
1 PID for MASH w/element
1 Auber Timer
1 Main on/off switch
1 Buzzer Alarm for both PID and Timer
2 on/off switches for dual pumps
Here is a more specific list of those parts I have ordered.
(Qty: 2) SYL-2352 PID temperature controller, 1/16 DIN size, SSR output, 85-264VAC supply
(Qty: 1) Auber ASL-51 timer
(Qty: 5) 2 position maintained selector switch, 1 normally open (NO) contactor
(Qty:1) 2 position maintained selector switch with key, 1 normally open (NO) contactor
(Qty: 1) 22mm PUSH BUTTON RED MOMENTARY 1NO/1NC
(Qty: 1) 40A SSR Solid State Relay
(Qty: 1) Heat Sink DC3-32V Control AC24-480V
(Qty: 2) 8 position terminal strip, 20 amp
(Qty: 1) 22mm buzzer, 115-120V AC/DC
(Qty: 3) Blue 22mm LED pilot light, 100-120V AC/DC (power alarm indicator for PID and Timer)
(Qty: 1) Red 22mm LED pilot light, 100-120V AC/DC (alarm indicator)
(Qty: 2) Green 22mm LED pilot light, 100-120V AC/DC (pump indicator)
(Qty: 1) Yellow 22mm LED pilot light, 220V-240V AC/DC (Heating Element "on")
I'm hoping that there is an electric diagram from PJ out there that will help me get things in line.
Please send any and all comments and suggestions my way. The building will beginning once all parts arrive.
Cheers
