Hi Nosco It looks like maybe one of Lael's first series. I bought one just like it. There will be a relay on the board doing the switching. It will switch 12 or 240 volts. The wiring will need to be changed as Rca socket is not suitable for 240v. Can use IEC socket for the pump. The active...

Hi Brewnicorn As said before I have chronical 7 but the taps are similar. The ball valves should be stripped and cleaned after every brew! I went the chronical because of the sanitary fittings and never used the ball valves, upgraded to butterflys. I use a brewpi to control the fridge for...

Hi Nugg3t Well the actual Chronical7 is only a couple of kilos but the liquid weighs the same regardless of what it is in. So if I have 26 litres in it it is close to 30kg and a bit awkward but the handles hold up ok. I have temp probes etc hanging off it too. But twice that would require...

Hi Nugg3t I bought the Chronical 7. Sometimes thought of getting a 14 but I doubt I could lift the 14 when full. Recently I have thought I would like a 3.5 but they dont do those. I use a brewpi and an old drinks fridge. The fridge has a glass door and cost about $250 with all the bits for...

So can I just use ET? Ok so 12v is correct? Find 5v pin and measure? Should be ok if blink ran? Other Arduinos should be ok as long as the sketch compiles into the available space. You will need to choose the version when you compile. Also need to chose language and board and display size...

Can someone put me down for a hand pump please Thanks zwitter Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Hi eviltabolegh. (Yeah never was good at spellin) Try turning the contrast pot. That is the little adjustable thing near the LCD. Sometimes the display is there but no contrast so it does not show up. There are probably lots of things to do to test but all depends on your technical and...

Hi Beerkat Can I ask a question about the minikegs and metal growlers please. I have ordered in the latest minikeg BB and have one from iKegger and the clamp-top metal growlers from Keg King and corny kegs and AEB kegs and torpedo kegs etc etc so I think I know kegs! The questions are 1 Are...

Hi Micbrew Shiz ? Your spell checker seems to be defective! James Zwitter Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Hi Mr B I do add hops during the boil and used to just chuck them in but had issues blocking things up. So now I use a small hop bag and put them in that. I use the same kind of bag in kegs to dry hop after ferment as well. I run a filter in my rig as I also have a plate heat exchanger and...

Hi Buckerooni The SSRs will get warm but if they are too hot to leave a finger on the heatsink then I recommend a fan. I ordered my fan on epay as it is an odd size. I put a little switch on the side of the controller to switch it on and off. I have a second switch that turns the control...

Hi Malt Junkie et al There was no SSR for the pump in standard trim! It can be setup to use the second SSR for the pump but was not the way we speced it in the beginning. It is better to get a small 2A SSR if you want to go SSRs all the way. I posted a little guide on how to install a small...

Those ball valves! Every time you turn them you let the liquid into the "dead zones" and they then grow nasties in them. I chose to replace with a butterfly valve on the bottom and a sample tap on the side. The ball valves are ok to use but clean and lube after every batch! I clean...

Hi zorco Please add me to the pm Zwitter Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Hi brauduino builders Wattage Wattage. Equals volts multiplied by amps So 2400 watts is 10 amps multiplied by 240volts 3600 watts is 15amps times 240volts 4800 watts is 20 amps times 240volts Houses in most of Australia have a minimum of 2 power circuits. And neither may have more than 60% of...

Hi NealK Did you run the setup and initialise recipie area? It is very important to run all the config when first powered up and that includes the initialising the recipie area. James Zwitter Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Hi Terragady Stick a resistor inline to limit the current. Or try on 5v and maybe try 12v Just use ohms law to work out resistor size. James Zwitter Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
