not a fix but until you work it out why not keep a sponge handy, stick it over the end of the tap when you do the first pull to absorb the first spray, rinse it out with some hot water and should be ok temporary fix to spraying your walls?
housecat that is an awesome setup, looks very pro!
one thing, the vent down the bottom right side of the freezer, does this have any airflow past it when the unit is back in against the wall? if it's anything like the chest freezer I have the compressor sits in there and needs reasonable airflow...
Might be an issue if you have kids though, my bottle is out in the garage at the moment as I've got a 5 month old rolling around on the floor most of the day...
Nice video, don't think the wife would let me convert our Aldi freezer though haha - can always dream...
If the STC wiring Is 240 Volt you might want to use double insulated wiring (if it isn't).
I've said many times the standard wedding drinks we were offered for ours (those you mention) is like choosing between dog piss or cats piss.... We paid a bit extra and got boags draught which I quite enjoyed in my tight living days, was a tight budget for the wedding and couldn't afford...
There's pros and cons for both types, obviously SSRs don't wear out, but being an electronic part they can still fail and can typically fail ON, they are also susceptible to mains voltage spikes although on a domestic supply these are less likely.
Mechanical relays wear out and contacts can...
You won't be needing a heatsink as they are mechanical relays not Solid State Relays (SSR), what's the end application for them?
If it is turning a heating element on and off you might want to check the rated number of switching actions for the relays.
Looks like 100,000 on the smaller ones...
I froze either my first or second keg of beer when I bumped the dial in the fridge, thawed it and tasted great, finished it in 2 weeks, got better over the 2 weeks, think I could ever replicate that beer again? No chance haha
You could use the STC1000 to switch a two pole relay that would have each supply coming in and then out to each element, then they would both be controlled and using your two circuits, would need a sparky to do it but any industrial electrician could do it, shouldnt cost much...
did you have the keg filled with water?
just wondering how people prevent the slag from sticking inside and ruining the finish? probably answered somewhere but just popped into my head... derp
Long time stalker in the Arduino thread...
I just picked up an etherten a couple of weeks ago and got it talking on my lan the other night which is more than I could do with the cheap evilbay ardiuno and ethernet shield I was banging my head against a wall with...
am I missing something...
