Question: why the temperature alarm from the pid? Isn't that what the pid does, control the temp, turning on and off the element to keep a constant temp? So what is the alarm for? Again, newbie here, my panel is all laid out and wiring is started, just wondering. As always, thanks for all the input!!

You gotta remember the PID wasn't designed specifically for brewing. You could also establish the alarm to go off when temp is met, that way you know the strike water is ready. Personally on my previous setup I did not wire the alarm. For my BT build I will, but then again it will also tell me when to add hops

Yep personal preference, I dont use mine. It could also be set at 210ish so that you know when your wort is about to boil!
