Well with lots of help from QldKev (He's doing a build himself so we've been collaborating along the way, sharing ideas, and components etc) I'm half way through my brew controller. Started out with a first aid cabinet from Bunnings, measured and cut out all of my holes and cut outs for the pids etc and then painted it with hammer tone charcoal paint.
Here's the enclosure with the outlet sockets on the side.
And here is the inside with heat sinks, SSRs, fan, 12 volt transformer (to run the fan, the 2 HLT SSR,s and the 12 volt pid lights.) I have two XLR connectors in the rear for my HLT and Herms probes.
And here is the front panel. Just waiting on my pids and some 12 volt lights to arrive on eBay
What was supposed to be a project over several months using my brew budget to buy everything I needed a bit at a time, turned out to be something I've knocked together in just under a month so far. Can't help myself...
And QldKevs help along the way was invaluable.
