  Arugh, I'll try to post this a third time hopefully I won't get a "token expired" message this

  I'll add in a data point about pulling back but very infrequently scaling down.While I do have
  friends who have gone into the mode of trying to simplify their brewing process (batch sparging
  vs fly, m...

  alien, thanks for the shout-out.I know that it's kind of a lame response, but if you're going
  to put something more complicated than an off-the-shelf PID controller in the box, I'd highly
  suggest you ...

  I'll add in my two cents.You can go slowly. I started with a single 8 gallon pot and a turkey
  fryer. I'd set pots and buckets on different stacks of things to get the right gravity feed. My
  first step...

  I'll second that. I put in a 50A breaker and have a GFCI in a spa panel on my brewery. That way

  plug for a n...
