I noticed while trying to wire up my buzzer and alarm light that your diagram and pictures don't match. I read where it is described how some pictures have "extra wires" but in this case, the wiring based on the diagram doesn't seem to match. The diagram shows the hot (black) wire going into the alarm light body first the to the buzzer. There seems to be a black wire going from the wort pump switch all the way up to the buzzer. Is this a case of creative wiring as described, or am I confused?

Sorry for the confusion. This text from the instructions (right before the first set of wiring diagrams) should help:

Quote:
Since this is the first wiring diagram, here are some hints:

You may notice what appears to be extra wires in some of the close-up photos when compared to the wiring diagrams. This is normal. For example, in the wiring diagram immediately below the 120V power light connects to the HOT and NEUTRAL bus only (2 wires, one black, one white) but in the photos further below there are 4 wires. This is because other parts that need to be wired to the HOT and NEUTRAL bus later on were wired to the two sides of the 120V power light instead. The result is the same. There's no need to send 10 pairs of wires all the way back to the buses each time.

Good luck!

so you are saying forget the pictures and wire it up based on the diagrams. Okay, got it!

Yup! That's it! I've toyed with the idea of removing the picture completely as it confuses the issue like this but then they can be useful for other things. You can't ever see all the wiring anyway in the pictures (impossible to wire just based on the pictures) so I'm hoping most people are ignoring them... The question you asked here however does come up about once a month.
