Hello All,
I am interested in setting up my BIAB with an electric 5500W element. I know I'll need to install a 240V 30A outlet (by an electrician). I can drill holes with a step bit, but I need help with the temp controller and attaching the element to the controller (and the controller to the outlet, I guess). I've seen several places and ebay that you can buy just the controller for around $250-350, and I'd rather do this than try to build one my self. I really like BIAB but am trying to move it downstairs into the basement.
Here is what I'd like it to be able to do:
1. have on/off switch
2. Adjust temp using a simple control
3. have digital display for temp, and be able to maintain that temp
4. Remove power cord easily from element (quick disconnect)
Is there such a device available for purchase? I don't need it to control a pump.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
