I was seeing the orAL flashing display and began with replacing the sensor, which did not resolve the issue. This video addressed the exact problem resolution. At least now I have a spare sensor!

After watching this video I converted two 15 gallon Megapots into the same configuration. I don't have a pid controller yet. I use a Campchef Expedition 3 burner stove both pots sit nicely on. I'm getting low 70s conversion. I'm very happy with it.

Thanks so much for posting this video! I've had a PID controller for 11 years now and I'm moving from my 4th to my 5th wire and I've had CONSTANT orAL problems despite buying professionally made connectors. I really just can't believe that no one has come up with a connector for these that is SCREW ON rather than relying upon super fragile soldered connections. The outside of these connectors provides NO visual indicator of how these need to be aligned to connect so in practice, you'll ALWAYS be rotating them side to side until they "click" together, if your temp probe is mounted on the back side of your tank the wire is going to get bent either to the left or to the right and all that twisting and bending back and forth, that's just the reality of using these connectors, unfortunately the soldered connections inside mean that they ARE going to break after a number of back and forth bends or twists. It seems like there's no temp probes that are compatible with these PID controllers that has a better connector, like an XLR connector on the ends, either. Everyone who buys this controller, an Auber PID, or any of the other rebranded versions of these PIDs needs to get good at soldering, or they need to have spare cables and be ready to swap for a new one whenever it's required. The cables are a consumable (because honestly the design is just not resilient enough for bending and twisting, which is a reality with these).

I know this video has some age on it, but I intend to start brewing via 2-vessel(bought an EBC-350 from you like a year ago. Been doing BIAB for close to 9 years, and I've always double crushed the grain with good result. With putting all the water in with 2-Vessel as you would generally with single/BIAB, would you crush as a normal brew or a fine crush as you would with BIAB? Thanks so much. Still rewatch this video multiple time as I'm learning more bits & pieces, and it a good refresh as I'm preparing to jump into multiple vessel.

Hi Tanner, you can put a whole system, or just the parts you may need here: www.highgravitybrew.com/store/pc/Wort-Hog-2-Vessel-1-Bbl-445p10086.htm The system in the video now has more than 500 batches on it, and is still going strong. It uses Camlock connectors, Type A for the pumps, vessel inputs and outputs, and chiller. The hose ends are four Big C, and four Type BL (90 deg elbow assembly).

Hi Eugene, we build the Wort Hog controllers, and take care of them for life. Our 2-V systems include a controller that supports two pumps, have internal overload protection, and a double-pole relay to control the power output. The BrewCommnder only supports one pump (though the RipTide pumps have switch on them, and can be controlled that way), have no overload protection, and leave one of the hot legs hot, even with the switch off.

This looks like a really rad system, but about the only thing I would change is adding a ball valve before the whirlpool bulkhead. With how it was disconnected after cooling, it looks like it was siphoning out. I guess you could crack open the top camlock first to break up the siphoning action, but still....

The watt density of the BoilCoil is the lowest on the planet. We do recommend keeping pellets in a bag, tethered, but you wouldn’t have a problem with hop material burning if you didn’t. The only residue on the heating elements at the end of the boil is the same light protein you have on the kettle itself.

Stephen Grommer it depends on the batch size. For our 1Bbl in the summer we whirlpool with a counterflow chiller down to 100 in around 30 minutes and then we transfer to the fermenter and chill it to pitching temp with our glycol chiller which is another 30 minutes. In the winter it’s much faster.
