That's a very cool mash filter!

2x30L Brewpiless controlled.. Fridge only connected in summer... Reptile heat cord (coiled around inside door) in winter

Here is the original wiring pic of mine... (When i first added the pump) I don't know the serial no. (I scratched the sticker off the bottom when i started modding it). But here's my invoice number and purchase date. Inv No MG 000121005 Date : 18 Aug 2020

"AUS/NZ code" is more hardwired stuff... These these things fall under appliances.. EESS... and other International standards. They are classified and checked on importation. I'm guessing they are ok... as long as you have a safety switch RCBO/ELCB/RCD on the power outlet you will be fine...

Yeah that's it, "Regular" is 1k=500w and the Boost is 2k. They go thru the switches after the SSR's (Just for the indication lights mostly). I put a Pt100 temp probe into the center of the kettle space below the false bottom screen. The controller is a PID in brew mode and a power controller...

Sorry that was a mid-mod pic ;)... Here is a more finished one... I didn't bypass the thermal cutout, I removed it. That was only there so donks don't turn the elements on without any liquid in the boiler ;) (I'm a sparky by trade).

A 1/2" hole i drilled with a holesaw ;) 1/2" nipple with nut in boiler and 90deg+hose barb underneath

My 65L digi was Negative switched. I've swapped it around... and changed control systems to the Auber DSPR400 (Brew/Distil controller) with a pump.

Hi, I've recently built and been running a BrewPiLess on my ferment fridge. Now I'm collecting bits for a few iSpindel's. I bought a heap of bits for the older style 3d printed drawer kind. Then bought a couple of these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000088868912.html (did I waste my money...

TL:DR - They work ok... I've used them for many years in home brewing equipment.. Cheap, but they do the job. (Only ever had one go "close circuit" on me when one of the old KK elements let go....)

I'm 40, have a good job, family and a kid, do 100L brew days (2x50L ferment one, cube the other), drink on average a corny a week, and I love it! Fully functional alcoholism I think they call it... I only drink beer, nothing else, and it's usually about 5%... and I don't eat junk... Drink...

Bang on 1000L ... (20 x 50L) ...So far... Still have a few brews left in the year.

Start using brew software.. When you get your equipment dialed in right brew days will run much more smoothly. I started with Brewmate (free) and after a while changed to Beersmith (worth the money IMO.) It all seems daunting to start, but as you adjust for volumes, losses and efficiency it...
