pol, is there a pic of the inside of the control panel on this thread? i would like to see how you situated everything.

you need a thermowell (something to stick the thermocouple from the controller in) so it gets the temp. but doesnt get wet...some people by them and some find ways to make them with copper tubing and stuff...an example would be part number 3957K68 on mcmaster.com

i used one of those in my 10 gal round cooler forever until i actually made a copper manifold....they work great....just wedged it in the bottom....you might have to use a wine corkscrew to get it out when you are done.

i think pol is using an a-419 with no problem with the same heating element you are wanting to use. on the mcmaster website it advertises the a-419 at 15 amps max. part number 1760K77

this guy has a neat electric herms setup. The Powers Home Brewery

i have actually mashed over night in a cooler with a coat wrapped around it and then sparged and boiled the next day. i didnt have any problem with souring at all the efficiency was great.

no problems with dust really.....you can see it sticks a little on the outside edges but not really a problem at all.

i have used my bc for about 50 batches with no problems. i love it and i think its one of the cheapest mills out there.

why not just buy a stopper thermowell instead trying to make one? Stopper Thermowell :: Midwest Supplies Homebrewing and Winemaking Supplies
