Trying to maybe decide between the Ebrew 30A BIAB kit and the Auber version of the same. Ebrew uses a PID and Auber uses EZBoil mashing conroller. Anyone have any comments about one over the other?

After thinking about this some more I might just consider going to 240V right away. I would then need a controller that could work for both the HLT and the kettle. Looking around there are some that work for BIAB(Cube, Ebrew). They only control one element at a time. I would have to just...

Inkbird IPB16 sounds like the way to go. Just need to figure out if one or 2 1500 watt elements will be needed to bring the water in my HLT up to 170F or so for mash off in a reasonable amount of time. Probably will start with one element and see. When you say they can be modified to handle...

Thanks. After looking around more I really just need to add an element to my HLT and use a controller to regulate the temperature. This way I can still have water for sparging and have the ability to be vary mash temperature for rests and mash off. Now the question where to find a controller...

I have a Herms system now that recirculates to a heated pot with a coil in it and then goes back to good old round cooler via a pump. I am thinking about going electric for just the mash. I would still sparge into a propane heated kettle for boiling. Are there systems around for something...

Great article! One thing one might consider is using multi-color matching pH strips. They are very accurate and can be had at most scientific supply places. Meters are great but they are only useful when calibrated correctly with buffer solution. Strips are probably more suited for the...
