Hi all,
Long time lerker, first time poster.
I'm going to build a manual electric control box loosely inspired by theelectricbrewery item but modified and simplified for Australian conditions.
It will have the same functionality as theelectricbrewery item except for the following changes:
If anyone is interested in doing this as a group buy, let me know as dollars can be saved in transport if I do a few of these. Can invoice with ABN etc for piece of mind and enclosure will come with cert of elec safety. Will be looking for around the $2000+GST mark if I could build 5 (1 for me) of these which is around $1000 cheaper than the off-the-shelf US offerings. They will take 6-8 weeks to get together.
If this is a success, I'll look to sell these but it won't be at this price as after this I'll have to charge for labour
PS. I'm across in Perth so Perth people preferred but can be done with anyone in Aus or NZ really.
Cheers.

- Modify to have all control using 24VDC and have 240VAC through the relays only and have no 240VAC on door. This improves safety and falls in line with Aus best practice
- Have 32A Clipsal 56 Series plug end so it can be setup and packed up easily
- Have 32A power outlets for 2x heater elements, with selector switch
- Have 10A power outlets for 2x pumps
- Have pumps controlled using ON-OFF-(ON) switch
- Have 3x XLR3 recepticals for temp probes
- Includes start up interlock, PID, SSR's etc
- Remove timer, voltmeter, ammeter, alarms
- Pilot lights confirming status of elements and pumps
- All quality components from B&R enclosures, Finder, Siemens etc
