I'm looking into upgrading/automating my brewery. I'm going to put in a HERMS system, using a copper coil in my HLT to controll my Mash Temp. Although I eventually will want to include electic heat into my brewery...for now I will be sticking to automating the mash and heating HLT and BK with my existing propane burners.
Nevertheless, I want to get temp readings (via temp probes in MT) feed to my PID Temp Controller. I want the PID Temp Controller directing the pump to turn on as well as opening a seleniod valve to open leading to the coils in the HLT...depending on temp in MT and temp setting on the controller.
My issue is that I am certainly not an electrician, computer/gadget guy..... Would the PID temp contoller linked below be sufficient?

If so/not, what types of things should I look for in my PID Temp contoller?
thanks
