    The Brauduino (Matho’s Controller) Build/Advice/Question Thread

    Hi Jase, The unit wasn't really designed for this, but if you are willing to do some coding and simple hacking, it shouldn't be too hard. I would need to look back over how ds18b20 works, and what is on the board, but you should be able to add another temp probe into the same socket - it might...

    Hi lespaul, I have some spares if you are after another one - PM me. When you say you had it tested - what was showing up as the issue?

    This sounds like a EMF problem. Option 1 - run the 12v into the pump relay and then out to an SSR - if you are only using 1 of the SSRs in the controller, this is a good option. Otherwise you will need to find a dual SSR. Option 2- and something you should do anyway - check all your wiring to...

    Yes, easily. For Controller 1 you would want to run the unit on manual and have your pump and heat element on. You can do this on 1 circuit. For controller 2 - you can run programmed stepped mashing routines. The controller comes with the capacity to run 2x 240V 10A heating circuits (with SSR...

    Hi guys, sorry, been offline for work for a while. I've got some kits available if anyone is after one - just PM me. I've also got some options for new SSRs with two outputs in a single 'puck' which would allow you to have potentially up to 4 circuits controlled (eg: 2 heat, 1 pump, + 1 spare...

    Hi Barneey, In my experience those sort of gremlins are often related to tight wiring in the box putting strange pressure on wires. The temp probe may have gone faulty over time - from memory I sent you a spare when I sent the kits over your way. Do you still have a spare?

    As far as I can tell over the web, it looks good. As always, get it checked by your electrician. For the temp probe - if you are using the kit temp probe it should come pre-tinned and just insert, and clamp the terminals.

    Cut a hole in your box, so that the SSR goes through, and then make sure your heatsink is larger than that on all sides, with enough space to tap into the heatsink through another set of holes in the box, and then screw it in. heatsink through box. mounting screws - box wall - heatsink.

    Beautiful piece of work! Yes you can select manual, and change the temp to match the setting you want. If you haven't already, run through the config on the unit.

    Hi Jase, I think I used speaker wire cable from jaycar. Around 1mm thick core stranded. The only place that style of cable should be used is low voltage (ie - in this case the 12V side). The power supply can deliver 2A @ 12v, which is what you should be rating your low voltage cables to. Have a...

    Hi Jase, Congratulations on the Masters - an excellent achievement! PM your details and I'll send through a new fascia and buzzer. The wattage of your elements doesn't matter, provided: it is low density so you don't scorch wort, you can provide the required power and you have the space...

    Let me know how it goes, if the t join has the temp probe above, it might be worth rotating it so it is coming up from below and air can't get stuck. Yeah, I'm the same. Just happened to test it last time because I was at a friend's brewing and he asked :) I like to think that is testament to...

    Hi Slugger, I've not noticed an issue with mine, but I only usually measure during the mash. It is consistently within 0.5-1C at the top of the malt pipe. How is the T piece situated? Could it be an air pocket that is insulating the probe slightly? If there is consistent flow, I would expect...

    immersion chilling

    I brew outside and ideally yes. Reality - if windy I make sure. Otherwise I try, but not super careful. I don't think it has been the source of any infections.
