Would it be safe to install an element in a kettle and just plug it into a temperature controller?
After digging around here a fair amount I get the sense that to build even a basic eHERMS setup I need a PID wired to a solid state relay. I feel like the answer to my question is no based on not seeing anyone do it, but I want to probe it before I dive in to learning wiring etc.
My main objective is to be able to step mash and mash out (my current vorlauf procedure loses 30 degrees) without worrying about needing too much infusion water.
