  previous 2 posts:Does the diagram make sense? What sort of controller should I be looking at? I
  want a direct...

  Here’s what I want to do ultimately. Is this correct? Is there something that isn't
  making sense? HLT gets sparge and strike water added to the vessel manually, minerals get
  measured and added m...

  Alright. On our next batches we're not going to wait the 10 mins. We're just going to wait the

  I don't get it. Why is it not ok to batch sparge with 2 separate sparges? I collect my first
