When I entered the electrical world of brewing, I knew one day I'd experience some technical issues that would bite me in the a$$.......
Well, after I have now had 2 straight brewing weekends cancelled due to electrical issues I figure we could share our setback stories. I'm sure some of you have stories of malfunctions DURING the brew day.....luckily mine was found before I even started.
My issue was my EZBoil PID not communicating with the temp probe. What was frustrating to the max was that I had sold a guitar to buy a CF-10 Spike conical and tons of accessories and I was super excited to finally try this thing out.
So I luckily had another probe and even another RTD cable in my supplies drawer. Replacing both did NOTHING. Ugh, brew day cancelled. So eliminating those two items I went ahead and bought a new EZBoil PID.....comes in 4 days later and STILL NOTHING!! The infamous "orAL 932" error was still flashing. That weekend's brew day is now also cancelled! So I get real frustrated and bust out my Fluke meter and start checking continuity on the cable.....and wouldn't you know, both my original and replacement cables were bad. What are the odds??
My new cable came in yesterday and all is FINALLY well......ready to brew!! Only problem is.......I'm outta town this weekend
Anyone got anything to share?
