Brain trust,
I have an extra STC-1000 and I want to experiment with using it to control the mash temps in my single vessel eBIAB. Yes, I understand the weakness of this controller for this application.
My kettle has two 2000w camco elements which are controlled by a manual switch. During mashing I only run one element for a minute or two every 10-15 minutes. So I don't REALLY need a controller but since I have most of the parts I thought it would be fun.
The element draws about 16 amps.
Questions:
1. What relay would you recommend? I'm biased towards cheap but easily tempted by cool.
2. How do you wire relay? It looks like they have four contacts...
Thanks in advance!
