I've admired P-J's work for some time now and I'd like to make the eBIAB plunge albeit with a slight twist. I'd like to use a Auber PID (SSR or Relay output?) to control a "Solid State Variable Relay" (SSVR) like the one from this post https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/variable-resistance-ssr-boil-control-310622/. I realize that the Auber PID can be placed into manual mode to provide the same level of adjustment but I like the simplicity of just twisting a knob for fine control.
I'm trying to figure out how to modify a circuit like P-J's "Auberin-wiring1-a4-5500w-BIAB-30d12" drawing to accommodate the SSVR.
Ideally, I'd like to set the SSVR @ 100%, program the PID for my mash temp, complete the mash, re-program the PID to boil temp & use the SSVR knob for fine control of the boil.
Has anyone used one of these SSVR SSR's in their e-brewery?
Thanks
