After abandoning the gas fired brew stand (it gets too cold to brew outside in the winter) I've started poking around the idea of an e-HERMS system in the basement.
I currently have the dryer outlet near the proposed brewing area, 3 kettles, pumps, etc.
I've browsed Kal's site for hours. Looked at eBrewSupply and HighGravityBrew, too. I'd like to use two 4500/5500 watt elements (one in HLT, one in boil), two pumps (one water, one wort), a potentiometer on the boil element, push button LED switches for the pumps, a 3-way switch for the elements, element on LEDs, an E-stop, and a keyed power switch.
Do I need a 2nd PID for the mash tun? Or can I just continuously cycle the wort through the HEX in the HLT?
And do these mock-ups look OK? (see pics, v.1 has 1 PID and potentiometer; v.2 has 2 PIDs and potentiometer)
Any suggestions are welcome!!!
