- In part 5 of the electric brewing series we take a look at PID's discussing the similarities a differences between the DSPR120, DSPR300 and the SYL-2352. In the video we explore the setup and auto tuning of the Auber Instruments SYL-2352 from probe selection to auto tuning and automatic and manual functions.
This helped me. Thank you
Thank you for putting up this video , the documentation I got when I purchased my PID's was confusing , will go ahead and do another auto tune next brew day, best regards from New Zealand.
Awesome! glad it helps
I have an Inkbird ITC106VH PID. Can this be used to control a boil by adjusting percentage of output? I’ve set it to On/Off but don’t get a percentage indication. Thanks
Great video. Where is your video on the dspr120? I have an electric biab and am using the ITc-106 but want to change to the 120. Would love to see your review on it.
Haven't gotten one yet. I would like to do a video on one when I get some time.. 👍🍻
Do they "remember" / "store" settings or do you have to reprogram Everytime after every shut down? My temp controller that use for my fermentation chamber has to be reprogramed everytime after unplugging it
These do remember the calibration settings but do reset the temp settings every time. Not a big deal as I don't brew the exact same beer every time any way and change the temp setting for what I am brewing. 👍🍻
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers does your friend that makes the wiring diagrams have a webpage or anything? My plan is to wire the boil kettle with two elements and the plan is to have each element on it's own dedicated circuit but would like them both controlled together. I would imagine the wiring would be similar just an a second SSR making two identical boil kettle element circuits both wired to the same PID? I know you are not an electrician, but I am curious if had any experience in a dual element system for boil
Pretty simple to do, just run a second SSR off of the PID and then you can run 2 elements. Friend mine has a 1bbl system with 2 6000 watt elements in it.. Works really well!!
Would it be necessary to "re-auto tune" the PID whenever you drastically change the size of the grain bill?
They generally stay pretty consistent. I would say if you tuned it to a minimum grain bill and not an average size you might have issues. My recommendation is to auto-tune to your usual grain bill and then RDWHAHB! 👍🍻
You should only really need to worry about retuning the PID when you up/down-size parts of your process such as changing your vessel size or the max output of your element. But realistically, you should be fine unless you upscale from a 5gallon system to a 1 bbl system.
I noticed that you started the auto-tune at 148. Is there any reason not to start it at 66?
According to Kal The Godfather of electric breweries you should start the auto-tuning close to where you're going to be having your Mash temperature. According to what he says you'll get more accuracy if you do that
Thanks for the answer! I'll definitely be using the HLT water for the mash auto tune so I can better tune it. Do you see any point to auto tuning the Boil Kettle?
I'm thinking of trying to use my counter flow chiller as a HERMs coil by recirculating the heated water from my HLT, and wort through it. Can you foresee any reason I shouldn't do it that way vs. a traditional HERMs coil setup?
Give it a shot. should help maintain your temps. Don't see why it won't work. I would make sure you do it after a nice vorlauf cuz you don't want to clog your counterflow with grain
I use my plate chiller like that and it works great. People worry about clogging but I just make sure I recirculate into the mashtun for a few minutes before going through the plate chiller. I also go in reverse so when I get to the last 10 minutes of the boil and run the boiling wort through the system to sterilize it, it pushes out what might be in there.
Thanks for the tip! Thanks for watching too! Cheers -Brian
The only concern I would have (because I thought about doing this as well) if you run wort / and grains end up through it and it gets stuck, might be very hard if not impossible to clean, kindve resembling what he describes in the rims video of this series
