I'm very new to brewing having only 4 extract batches and 1 partial mash batch under my belt. Ive been admiring Kals brewery and others for a while now, and am interested in creating my own once I get some brewing, electrical knowledge, and money under my belt.
I would like to keep extract brewing while Im saving up for the mash tun, HLT, Control Panel, pumps, chillers, ventilation, etc... Is there a SAFE way to control the temperature for steeping grains and partial mashes without making the splurge for the Control Panel (which I plan to do eventually, just cant right away)? I imagine I can plug the element in and it would get me to a boil pretty quick, but Id like to have the ability to keep it at certain temps without having to convince my fiancé that I need a $1500 Control Panel
Im sorry if this has been answered (I searched, I swear!), or is a dumb question Im still learning and reading as much as I can to make sure my set up is as safe as possible
