Count me in l keep running to the fridge with hot water bottles 😁

Hi Metro How did the beer turn out ?

Great job keep it up. Welcome to the slippery slope

Did you know that this brewer passed away a few months later in November 2016 . He was one of my inspirations for building some of my brewery tools,like the counter flow chiller . He will be missed.

Yeah if I could draw it would paint a thousand words

Never thought of that

What about a piece of tubing that slides over the handle and outlet with a cut out on the back of the tube so it slides over the outlet and a hole drilled through the tubing in behind the outlet and attach a padlock through the drilled holes .You could use some PVC tubing .

No wires disconnected I opened the box after the PID was playing up and it was working 100% until I turned it off to change hoses when cleaning the brewery and then turned it back on and that is when I got the 0000 display . I will check the deadband and see if it is that and report back...

Yes that is the one thanks .

At least I don't try to put 15amps through a 10 amp control unit

Mine is an RKC CD101

I am technologically dyslexic when it comes to computers and PIDs . It all started when I decided to clean the mash tun after a few years of just running hot water through it after brewing . I set the SV to 100*C and ran oxyper through it after an hour I turned the PID off for maybe 10 or so...

Have a taste if it taste stale turf it , for that stale flavour will come out in the beer

G'day Gary welcome to the forum lots of great info and brewers and don't worry we were all newbies at one stage .
