Hello Homebrewtalk family!
I have been brewing all-grain now for about 3 years with my small 5gal system, but now it is time to step into the big leagues! So I am looking at building a 55gal system out of some new 55gal SS barrels I have gotten. I find myself to be rather handy when it comes to plumbing, basic mechanics and basic electrical (sub-panels, outlet and so forth) but then it comes to the advanced electronics of semi-automated control panel I find myself at a loss.
Theres what am looking at doing, I want to build a E-HERMS 50amp brewing system with 2 4500w heating elements in both the HLT and the BK (for a total of 4 4500w elements), BCS-462 and 2 pumps.
I have look at all the forms, diagrams and schematics I could find regarding this but it would seem I have to "mash" a lot of them together to make my system work. PJ diagram and the tutorials from theelectricbrewery website, but like I said I have to piece these all together.
Looking at PJ diagram it would seem I just have to change the 40amp ssr to 80amps, add a few more fuses and bob is your uncle. I do know there is more I just don't see it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
