i emailed Inkbird and they said I cant common the negatives but with no explanation so im going with the dpdt switch...cant go wrong

yes but the PSU is 24V and the output is 12V

Im doing this now

I dont think the negative is a permanent 0v on the outputs...so you may damage the device when the other PID goes negative??

Yea I got a DPDT toggle switch to switch both poles...figured there was no way that could go wrong..Dont worry, I work for electrical companies and have all the help I need on the High Voltage side of things...Thanks for your time

I'm switching the positives.. Its to control the HLT element..so the HLT pid will control the HLT element to heat up to strike temp then I switch to the mash tun pid to control the HLT element which has the HERMS coil in.. I just need to know if the PIDs can be wired like that, or if I need to...

Hi, I have a couple of the Inkbird ITC100VL PIDs I have a question regarding the SSR output...I am hoping to use 2 PIDs to trigger 1 Solid State Relay..(one at a time) My plan was to connect the 2 negatives together on the PID's and then send them to the negative trigger of the SSR and with...

Thanks for that.. Im reasonably knowledgeable about relays etc from my job but never designed or tried to understand control panels.. Enjoying learning.. Thanks

Hi guys, just planning my controller build..one part I want clarification on is having an on/off switch for the elements... So the PID I have is an ITC100VL which has an SSR output...my question is can I run the Negative direct to the SSR and the Positive through a switch to turn off and on the...

Bought it from a brewery :)

Got what? The keg?

Just wanted to share my progress with the HLT. Fitted the Sight glass today and reused the cut out to make a lid... It wasn't made without blood though... My 3mm still bit snapped as I was drilling one of the washers and went straight into my finger... Throbbing now, ouch!!

Been looking into the design of my 3 keg conversion system and saw a really good video of a system that used the herms Coil as the immersion chiller after the boil by filling the HLT with ice and water ... I thought after that wouldn't it be a good idea to add salt to the ice water to allow for...

Yea, started off using a jug which was quite frothy. Then just started filling glasses directly with a lower psi... Seemed to go down well.. Just not very Fizzy.. Not touching it now for a few weeks to see how it evolves...

I've dropped it to 16psi..which is perfect for temp and volumes I want...tonight I will bleed it and give it a minimal gas pressure and adjust as necessary to get as best I can... Next project is definitely balancing and getting a tap off the keg

I might go and give it another blast at 40 psi and roll it around a bit... Then bleed it at the party tonight and hope for the best... I'll just say its a hazy ipa lol.. Then in Feb I'll say its a lager .. They won't know, they aren't brewers like us

Only started force carb yesterday. I know I'm trying to rush it .. Wish I didn't do a lager for new year now.. Didn't realise at the time how long it takes to lager a beer... Won't be doing that again until summer

I guess it would be a waste of gas, but would turning the pressure down to like 2psi for a pour work? Surely the carbonation in the keg doesn't instantly dissapear just like a bottle of coke lasts a few days...

Hi Fellas, First time force carbing a corny keg... I have the tap directly on the keg.. Does anyone have any hints and tips on how to set it up to pour a good Fizzy lager? It's for tonight so don't have time to get lengths of hose etc to do it properly... So far I can get a good head but...

Yea, I was hoping to get it done for new years eve party... Only my second ever brew and didn't know lager took so long .. I'll have to just save some of the IPA and not neck it all Christmas day
