|
|
Hey guys,
I put together this temp controller for my boil kettle. Currently only doing extract brewing and was tired of boiling outside- especially in winter.
I am using a 10 gallon kettle with Kal's heating element kit (awesome).
I am going to add some transformers to get DC - as i have added back the fan that I had removed from the heatsink. It was a little warm, and once I had the fan on their it was cool to the touch.
Video of it in action

Looks great!
What enclosure is that? It looks like exactly what I'm looking for.

The setup you made is really nice and is useful.
Also thanks for sharing this helpful information here.
I want to know the specifications of the PID you used.
Also please share the whole specifications of your device if you can.
