Thanks for the replies guys. It looks like this experiment isn't going to work out too well. I'll probably just build a HERMS setup, do some research. If I need more help I'll just post a new thread.

I was going to get a standard food grade pump from northernbrewer. I was also thinking about getting a minibrew MLT. How hard would it be to wire the dimmer switch. Would I wire it to the switch that is already built in to the coffee pot?

Thank you, I appreciate it. I was considering doing the recirculating for a more fluid temp and also I heard you can achieve higher efficiency. Is this true?

Ok. I wanted to do step infusion mashing. Can somebody point me in the right direction for a recirculating system. I am mainly looking for a temp controller, heating element, and pump. Just a really simple setup. I already know what pump I'm going to get, I just need specs and possibly...

I just made a porter and I think I may have the same problem. However; I'm not too sure as to what I bought was CPVC or PVC.

Is anything wrong with your cooler? I was wondering if you may be loosing temp. over the long mash. It probably isn't likely. Are you using a digital thermometer?

Yeah, I am hoping that it won't scorch the wort. I think it might be a low enough watt element to do that, but these things heat up very fast, within seconds. Do you guys thing that the Digital Temp Controller will actually regulate the heat for the element? I was hoping that it would...

I was looking at a coffeemaker today and saw that it has a heating element. I ripped the coffeemaker apart (it was a very cheap one) and was wondering this... Could I use this temp control? Like the #7051, our Digital Temp Controller operates by overriding the internal thermostat in a...
