Have you tried turning the pump on? Does the table amplify the pump noise?

I have not, so I have no idea. its not mounted to the table directly, exactly. its mounted to an aluminum plate that is mounted to the table, technically the pump is floating.
I hope it doesnt, but that pump is nearly silent to begin with. been a few times that I had to touch it to tell if it was on.

got it finished! inital testing is promising, still have a few things to work out on the SW, but only minor things.
I will be doing a video tour of this thing when I get a chance, for those who are interested

So you can control them all simultaneously and can set the percentage of power to them?
Man You gotta get a shot of your test boil on them pls

Boil kettle has (3) 1500 watt elements.
Rims tube has 1500 watts
Herms kettle has a single 2500watt element.
It is set up so that the rims and herms can't function if the boil elements are on and visa versa. Its a 30A outlet, so I cant run 9500 watts of heat at once lol.
I can control each element. The herms and rims have a PWM output to control heat at the set point.(automatically) The Rims element also has a manual PWM control.
It gets to a crazy boil. Too much really, lol. But it will take 160F wort to a rolling boil in about 15 minutes. Turning one element off still keeps it boiling vigoursly
This is the front control panel for the SW

Haven't done much with this lately. Was gonna do a Czech pilsner today, but due to ask oversight by me on the SW and some leaks, will be put off for a week.
Hopefully my yeast will still be good, I did a starter and now its chilling. Guess I will find out

The yeast will be fine in a week if kept cold. Just remember to oxygenate.
What's the little DC pump for recirculating?
