I'm wondering if its possible to use a ranco controller in tandem with two March pumps (one normally open and circulating thru the hlt inside a coil, the other normally closed and circulating the mash strait from the bottom to the top of the mash. The two pump inlets would be supplied by a Y at the ball valve to the false bottom.
Would this work? Has it been tried? I'm just thinking its easier to control the general temperature of the hlt than the precision temperature of the mash. Sort of a hillbilly herms system.
Also does a ranco temperature probe need a thermowell or can it set directly in the mash without harming it?
