working on some options at the moment...

Just a general reminder to get your box checked by an electrician before you power it on. Bungelbear: The joint neutral between the two circuits is bad because modern RCD's check the difference between active and neutral current. If they are joined the current may not return on the same circuit...

Yeah, it just depends on whether you want the light to show whether there is power flowing to the SSR, or whether it shows there is actually power flowing to the heater (my opinion is that lights showing heater on is more intuitive). Its not too expensive... Wire it up and see how long the light...

Sounds good. The illumination won't work on the DC side, but I agree, I wouldn't want to run the illumination on the AC side due to frequent switching (although I'd be interested to see how long it lasts... got a spare switch?) If you are putting the buttons underneath I'm assuming you are...

Don't power it up, post a photo. If you've done what I think you're saying you've done it will cause issues.

Hi Barneey, Sorry, I misread what you had written. I think the low voltage switch idea for turning the elements on and off is clever and will work well. My comment about not modifying the controller was to encourage you not to worry about the voltage leakage. I think you'll find it to be a non...

Yeah, I was concerned about the load disconnection - after speaking with some of the Neutrik tech guys I was less concerned. I personally connect and disconnect my units (using the power connectors provided with the kits) all the time without any issues at all. However - it is important to note...

Wow, that is significantly expensive from element14 etc here in Aus - 115AUD. Looks like it is available on ebay from the UK for 65 for anyone that wants one. It does look like a small heatsink... but it is rated to 15A, so you can only assume they've done their job. Does the datasheet for it...

Hi Welly, I've got one you can have for free. I'm out Northwest in the Hills Shire though.

Nice work! How did you do the variable power to the second element?

Yeah, super easy. I'll post a video once I get them.

I'm so sorry Tzoon, not sure how I missed that. They are M3x18mm long. You should be able to get them from eBay pretty easily.

Thanks Steward, did you reduce the length of the wires?

It isn't necessary, but is nice to move the 240V off the circuit board, and also should alleviate screen scrambling for anyone who is experiencing it (2 people have said they have, one resolved with fixing their wiring, haven't heard back from the other). The real bonus is added failsafe should...

Someone posted about not receiving a buzzer in their kit, but I can't locate the post or PM now. If it was you - can you PM me so I can get a replacement to you please? Thanks!

If you ordered Internationally and have not yet received your kit - apart from rafinus (sent by sea), please PM me to follow up with Aus Post. If anyone wants a kit - PM me, I have some available. I'm looking into getting some SSRs that take two channels/ relays so that people can run the pump...

Tommy, that looks great! How does your wort return work? Is that a BM 20L malt pipe?

Bah Humbug... Know any cherry orchards near Sydney that might want to to get rid of similar cherries? :)

Certainly could and I would imagine would be safer. Depends on how quickly you want to pasteurise a batch :) The other option would be to transfer them to room temp water bucket. Water absorbs explosions etc incredibly well :)
