I did some searches but didn't find a "good answer." If I was building a RIMS system (heater element in a SS tube, basically) should I use a Ranco/LOve which is just an on/off controller or should I go ahead and use a PID? I use a PID for my HLT and BK, so I'm familiar with them, but wasn't sure if that type of control is needed for a HERMS. Also, the combination of a PID, SSR, and thermocoupler is more expensive than just wiring up a Ranco/Love by almost double ($100 vs 50 or so).
Thoughts?
