Frame rate.. sorry bout that! :cross:Lookin good brother. Do the PID displays have a wave effect on them or is it just the frame rate?
Yes there is a Manual Mode on the PID.. It turns the burner on and off based on time cycles.. ignors temp.. The PID mode and Manual mode can be switched with the push of one button on the PID.. A/M.. If you set it to run in "on-off" (relay or contact) mode then you cannot switch over to manual or PID.. The 3 position switches I have below each PID are to choose what controls the burners, the PID, off or forced on (Manual on, IOW Overides the PID and turns the burner on now).. hope that cleared that part up.You have a switch to change PIDs to manual mode? Isn't it just a button on the screen to do that?
iijakii said:Yeah, that makes sense. Are you using it for when you're boiling? Seems a bit unnecessary when you can just set the PID to 210 or what have you and then drop down to 80%, 60% whatever is needed in manual mode to maintain boil. Not trying to tell you how to do your rig, it's nicer than mine . Just trying to understand.
And I guess the bottom line really is that an extra toggle switch and what not is nickels and dimes in the grand scheme of these builds. Maybe your on-mode helps not having to fiddle with the buttons for a lot of the brewday.

yes wort comes out of them when I pull the cable but so does the air.. I might lose a table spoon of wort.. Ive used this method for about 1 year (20 batches) already with good resultoh, how did your bleeder valves on your pumps work? did any wort get thru them?
My nephew moved out of state so I never got him to draw up a schematic. I'll put some thing together from my hand written notes soon. (The PID wiring is right out of the instruction manual)wncbrewer said:I hate to be a bother, but did you ever get a wiring diagram? I have really enjoyed following your build
tulsabrewdaddy said:It looks like your water filter setup is what I'm going to go for, could you post more info on that setup please?
here's the best I have right now.. Its not all on one page and some images are from other schematics I just worked into my design.. Hope these help.. If you have any questions on how I wired something Let me know..I hate to be a bother, but did you ever get a wiring diagram? I have really enjoyed following your build
Very cool, were you having trouble with the mash sticking during recirc? Or just wanted a hopback/grant. My build is very simlar, and I have some worries about the grain bed compacting too much since I will be pumping through the herms for the duration of the mash
Rivenin said:do you have a write up anywhere regarding the auto grant?
Do you have any details on how many brew days you get out of your propane tank? I'm looking at electric since it seems like the gas would run through rather quick with 2 burners. Any info is appreciated!

I really like your control panel. Where did you get the skull bezel light from? Ive looked all over the place for one like it and cant seem to find one.
Thanks
Wow I really like you herms system and I am going to build something similiar using Stout tanks. Can you tell me how you incorporated your grant tank and how it works ? Very Cool !!!!
