Hi All, I have just been given some RTD's from work, http://www.minco.com/Sensors-and-Instruments/Products/~/media/WWW/Resource%20Library/SensorsCatalogPages/Probe_FastResponse.ashx (ones on the first page) They are only 2 wire ones. Will they work with my PID (sestos)? Also the cable to...

Just for the viewers at home- after I ordered the Auber probes, I had a look on Aliexpress and was kicking myself as i found what looked like the Auber probes. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/SS316-beer-brewing-liguid-temperature-sensor-with-1-2-BSP-thread/1653180771.html until I read "Class B...

Thanks for all your posts, have ordered the auber deluxe ones. To say my missus was unhappy is an understatement, she's now off to Mimco to buy a new handbag. Ouch. Lol

This is starting to make sense now. Some of the description on ebay confused me. the link below is what i'm probably gonna look at getting...

is one better than the other? I have a spare thermowell, but if its not as accurate then i'll just get thermocouples.

Hi all, I have been getting some great advice on this forum, hopefully someone might be able to answer yet another question. I have recently purchased a few of the Sensos brand PID. (thanks QldKev, would have bought the wrong model if not for your advice). Now i'm on the hunt for a probe...

I'm similar to you, but oppposite. Lol. I'll not grab something, then in 6months time regret it. I only gave him 20 or so of my beers, so cost less than a sixer. Ended up ordering the Sensos ones QldKev posted about.

I reckon i'm going to go the D1S-VR-220 route, the Shinko ones will probably be too complicated for me to use. Lol. I've grabbed them anyway, just a carton of beer to the boss. If you know anyone who might put them to good use, let me know.

Thanks for all your help guys!! Got a few things i'm going to change, which should help out. A PID controller and seperate HERMS sound like a good idea.

ohhh ok, so if i just add a t piece with a thermowell where the wort returns to the mashtun, i can control it that way. When i start recirculating just move the probe to the other thermowell. If your trying to raise the mashtun to 66deg, would you set the controller to 66 or higher? (that is if...

Yeah i have been eyeing up those Sestos ones, they look very nice and would do exactly what i need. There seems to be a few on ebay and aliexpress, but the differ, like voltages etc. I presume I would want one like this...

Thanks Dent, sorry for more questions, trying to wrap my head around this. How would the time reduce by changing the HX size? if a 50ltr tank is at 70deg and a 1.7ltr HERM-It at 70deg wouldn't it take just as long to heat the mashtun wort? what is the temp people set their HX to raise the...

I have an urn that i replace the HLT water with, which is set to 70odd, so the 2 elements are just to maintain temps and raise a few deg here and there. The issue I had was the sparge / hx water in the HLT was at the right temp, but it took ages for the mashtun to raise 6degree's. Just for a...

ahh spewing, i thought RTD was the same as a PT100.

It would be over a metre. the wort seems hotter out of it, i'm in the process of adding a thermometer in a T piece just to check.

Hey, We have a couple of these at work that we aren't going to be using using http://www.temperature.com.au/Products/Controllers/DCL33A.aspx Would these work as a PID? or are they not suitable. Cheers Adam

Hi all, How can I get my mash tun to heat quicker? I have a 50ltr HLT with a herms coil in it, with 2 x 2000w elements. my Mash tun is an un-insulated (soon to be insulated with a special foam from the misses' work) 70ltr stainless pot. I did a brew the other day, and for some reason (me) I...

Thats a lot of tablespooning if your doing an IPA

Yeah about that, enough to do 2 kegs hopefully. one for me and one for a mate.

Yeah sorry about that, i did a copy paste from excel and then went weird. have fixed now. Woudl it be too sweet?
