I am working on plans for a Electric HLT using a 2000W 120v element, and had a few questions before I start to order/purchase parts.
1. Is a PID really necessary if I am only going to heat sparge water? I will not be boiling, or recirculating mash or anything, just heating strike/sparge water. I know I will not be able to turn it on and walk away without some form of temperature control, but I am ok with that.
2. On the same note, with only heating water, will it make a differance whether I get a low or high density element?
