So my pub shed is near completion, I'll post pics later on in a different forum. I purposely ran 220 out to it so that I could switch to eBIAB. Well the drywall and wall paper are up, the exhaust fan is wired, and it's finally time to do this. I'm excited to finally be able to brew in my pub, in air conditioning, while watching TV
Like many of my projects I'm going with the KISS model at first and then I'll add on as time goes by. Right now I just want something to control the power on the element. I wanted to go with something like this:

But that seems expensive for something so basic. I've scoured these forums and I think I found something that will work. Could I get a few stamps of approval on this:

I have a thermometer already installed below the basket, I digital one would be nice but I need to keep costs down for now. My pump is already on a remote switch. I plan to dial in the heat with the Potentiometer and cycle my pump on/off with my remote to recirculate the mash.
Thoughts? Any obvious issues?
