Hey all -
I'm wanting to add temperature monitoring to a homebrewery setup that is in the works (I primarily do extract at the moment, so the first part I'm improving is the brew kettle).
My question is if I can use a 1/16 DIN PID to simply monitor temps using a liquid tight RTD sensor (basically create a glorified digital thermometer). Down the road, I'll be incorporating an eHLT/eBK and would utilize the PID(s) for the heating element(s). Rather than spend money on an analog thermometer, I'd like to future proof the design (and save money along the way).
Just wanted to be sure it's as simple as wiring the PID to switched 110v power and hooking up the RTD sensor.
Thanks!
