So I've been electric brewing for a while now but in the past 6 months I've gone ahead and built myself an EZ Boil PID control box.
During the first brew day with the controller there was clearly something very wrong with the temp probe because the PID was going from an error message to a variety of erratic numbers. This first attempt I assumed there was something wrong with my probe wiring but I went back and double checked it for continuity and sure enough all of the wires were in the right spot.
I thought maybe it was a bad probe so I got on one of the electric brewery supply websites and bought some prebuilt cables as well as a new temp probe. unfortunately I got the same issue even after swapping some of the connection on the PID in case they soldered it wrong in their shop.
At this point I feel fairly certain the problem does not lie with the wiring or with the probe. But I would love to get more sets of eyes on my wiring to see if anyone has any suggestions.
