So the way this system works if we were going to do a single step.mash there is no problem. But if I wanted to do a temp profile there would be a big lag in the middle of the mash? I just have not read any reports of the accuracy of temp control or ramp rates. How long does it take to ramp up...

I looked at the online Manuel for the controller. Not much info for the supplied temp sensor. I can't tell if it is a threaded probe or if it has an attached cable that just plugs in. Can someone enlighten me?

Those are both good point. I can't calculate the thermal mass scenario you suggested as our grain bill could be different with each brew. I would assume one would try to achieve the highest recirculating rate without sticking the mash. Can't the power to the coils be adjusted? I thought I...

I'm about one click away from ordering the electric 5 gal turn key. I see by reading the posts here that the weak link is getting the mash temp correct when using the tower of power. I might be way off here but I see that the temp probe is mounted down by the pump after the boil kettle. The...
