1/2 nylon tee, just shove the hose on one end. done and don.
Nylon is food safe.
I'm still not following. Whats preventing liquid from flowing out the side which has the temp probe. Maybe I am just challenged
The liquid needs to flow over the probe so it can get a reading. its really not complicated at all, its so simple that it might look confusing. just thread the probe in one end of the tee then out the side. the probe end is long enough where it wont be able to do the 90 degree corner and slip through. then just shove the hose on either end, it doesn't matter and then toss the entire thing in the ton on top of the bed.
Got ya. My confusion was that I thought this nylon tee was outside of the mash tun. Now I understand
If you dont have a smaller pot lying around go to your local thrift store or pick a new one up at Walmart for 7$

pretty much any 1-2 gallon pot should do the trick.
If you insulate your HLT it would for sure, uninsulated your just going to have to try and see. It will definitely take longer to heat up and take more power to hold it at temp. Most I have done is 2 gallons just to see and it worked fine, i would be willing to bet it will work but ramping is going to pretty much be out of the question.

No steps -
I was looking at a RIMS tube, PID & the works so I could more accurately maintain mash temps but was looking @ ~ $300.00.
I have most everything needed to do this HERMS already so nothing really lost except a little time.. Will keep all posted.
Any thoughts on how many feet of 3/8" tubing?
Wow, Sounds Awesome!
