I talked to an Elect-Eng friend and he was of the impression my ideas (gleaned from this board) were overly complex, but we did not have a chance to go over the actual schematics. Doing an Auber PID build (first electric build). Planning on a RIMS with an IGLoo for the mash tun.
Here's where I'm a little fuzzy:
I plan on one PID for the RIMS if I do go with RIMS. do I need a second for strike? I plan on having a 240v element for the boil kettle, the second PID would be for that?
Also, do I need to do an SSR, or a contactor, or both?
I guess part of the problem is I'm on the fence regarding if RIMS is the way or Fly Sparging?
Help? I've been doing tons of reading, and still seem to be confused...
