Electric Brewery's
We spoke about creating a discussion so people who have or people who are thinking about and/or building can share pic's info and pitfalls to avoid.
Just about finished building my bench and hopefully will have a chance to start wiring it up this weekend. Pics to follow shortly.

They are switching 230v relays for the elements. My relays aren't 12-24v

For what it's worth, I didn't want to have any transformers or DC supplies in my control panel - too much fuss and too much space. In the electricbrewery system he has step down transformers and variable DC power supplies x2 to power his volt and amp meters. I used a 230V combination volt/amp meter so none of that for me.
The only DC current in my cabinet is from the PIDs to the SSRs, and that's functionally optimal.

Omron G7L-1A-BUBJ is the model. They were quite pricey but I wanted it all to be 230v parts.

Hi Barry
Your 4.5Kw element, what plug and socket did you settle on, I'm Currently running PWM control of a solid state Relay but only have a 2.2KW element it boils but I would not call it vigorously and looking to get something bigger what size cable did you use 4mm ??

Hey Charlie,
I got these: http://www.ebay.com/itm?itemId=261332307088
And these: http://www.ebay.com/itm?itemId=251304384875
Off eBay but shipped from Hong Kong. Arrived within 2 weeks.
I investigated local 25A plugs and sockets but they're outrageously priced these days, more than twice the price even at my dads less-than-trade price.
I searched high and low on eBay and aliexpress but couldn't find any reasonably priced flanged receptacles but these ones will do.
