The Brew Buddy I (BB303H) is a fully functional control panel for 1/2 bbl breweries. It maximizes the brewing quality while minimizing time consumption, resources, and efforts spent on building a brewing system. With the help of this control box, all-grain brewing is made easier and simpler. 

Features:

  • Two EZBoils that provide flexibility with programming for mashing and boiling. One EZboil monitors hot liquor temperature and the other for boil control.
  • A dual-channel thermometer that monitors both the entrance and the exit of HERMS coil.
  • All-in-one power meter that shows real-time voltage and amperage consumption.
  • Two independently controlled 120V outlets for pumps. One is to drive a water pump and the other one is to drive a wort pump.
  • Inter-locked switching system that reduces the chances of accidentally turning on the system when it is not ready.
  • Independent circuit breakers for each heater and pump.
  • Independent contactors for each input and output port for extra safety protection.
  • One PT100 RTD probe for Hot Liquor Tank temperature control.
  • Two PT100 RTD probes for Mash Temperature monitoring (input and output of the HERMS coil).
  • One PT100 RTD probe for Boil Kettle heat control.
  • Flashing buzzer and alarm indicator.
  • Illuminated switches for easy operation.
  • Steel wall-mount enclosure with a durable, black powder coated finish.
  • Assembled in U.S.
 
Descriptions
The BB303H panel is built with some of Auber's most popular products for the beer brewing community. For example, our latest version of EZboil® controller, DSPR320A. It is a digital power regulator designed to automate the liquid boiling process. It has both step mashing and multi-events boiling features. Step mashing is a temperature control function that utilizes special mashing artificial intelligence algorithms, making it easier and more convenient to operate than a traditional PID controller. The multi-events boiling feature can bring the liquid to boil at the maximum speed and then automatically reduce the power to maintain the boil at the desired level, providing a linear and uniform power output with 1% resolution. The power adjustment is done with a rotary encoder that is easier to operate compared to manual button adjustments. Up to nine brew steps can be programmed for a variety of purposes, e.g., adding ingredients at specific intervals. 
 
To prevent running the heater dry or having water spray all over the place, the pump control switches and heater switch are interlocked with the main power switch. Operator will not be able to power up the system unless the pump and heater are in the off position. Three 2-pole 32A contactors are used for controlling the input and output ports for added safety on North American 240VAC power lines. They will cut both the L1 and L2 lines when manually turned off. The input contactor will make the internal control panel safe when it is being opened for service. The output contactors will make the output port safe to touch when the heater switches are turned off. Both the 240V AC for heater and 120VAC for pumps are protected by separate circuit breakers. If the heater or pump fails in short, these circuit breakers will trip and shut off the heater/pump to prevent further damage.

Four PT100 type RTD probes and four braided cables* are included in this listing. Please select the model number of your preferred probe in the “RTD Probe Option” for each brew kettle. If you want to install the probe on the wall of the tank, the 2 inch long, weldless fitting probe, PT100-L50M14, is the most common probe to use. If you want to insert the probe in the circulation through a Tee connection, the 1.5 inch long, with ½ NPT thread mounting, PT100-L401/2NPT, is the most common probe to use. Please leave a note for the other probe part number you need. 
 
*: 12ft silicone braided cable is included in this kit. We will pick random colors for you by default; if you have a preference, please leave a message during checkout. If you order four probes in this listing, four silicone braided cables will be included. If you order three probes or less, we will include the same qty of cables in your package.

Notes:
1) This system is designed for 240V AC North America power lines that require four lines power connection (L1, L2, N and G). All the input/output connections are NEMA standard type.
2) Although the system is protected with circuit breakers, it is recommended to hook up this system with a GFCI or Earth Leak breaker protected power line because water is involved in the brewing equipment.
3) We also provide a DIY kit of components for this control panel, please see here.
4) A demo unit for an older version might be available, please see here.
5) Input power cords are not included because each user may have different hook up requirements in terms of cable length and connection type. This system uses a NEMA L14-30P receptacle as power inlet. Input power connector (L14-30R) is listed as an option.
6) Lead time for this panel is about 3-4 business days. Please contact us if you have any questions.
7) If you need a different probe, please choose either probe option and leave a note during the checkout, for the probe part number you want. Or you can send us an email after you place the order. We will confirm and let you know.
