I just got my new EBIAB system set up and am having trouble with my PID. I tried autotuning, which seemed to go successfully, except that after autotuning, the controller kept turning the element on and off at the same rate even after the set point was reached. I finally turned it off once it reached about 5 degrees above my set point. I then searched through the forums here and found the advice to keep the default settings and only change I to a value of 1. This helped some as the temperature reached the set point, and the burner turned off. This resulted in an overshoot of about 1 degree.
I was just wondering what I should do to optimize my PID parameters to reach and hold a steady mash temperature in my system?
