My DIY Controller (220v)

Post by MoonWhisky »

This is my diy controller I made for my 5500watt heating element in my keg. I finally received the meter today and got to finish it up.

Thank you after using electric I'll never use gas. It's safer (main reason) cheaper, and heats up faster.

Yes sir I do. I used a bigger box and buss bar to connect the wires to make it easier and look cleaner instead of wire nuts.

Nice work. That's a cool box, bet it was spendy. The damn box usually ends up being the most expensive component.
Distilling at 110f and 75 torr.

Is that a Drok brand meter you've got in there? I have 2 for my box I'm working on and was wondering how they perform?

Your link to the Brewhaus site is broken.

I'm thinking that this is the controller that you built. I built this controller and I'm very happy with it.
