PID Kit for Beer Brewing (Temperature controller , RTD sensor, SSR 40amp)

[mbowen024]

has anyone used this PID and temp sensor. BBP-DTB-S-48 http://www.thermomart.com/beer-brewing -kit

I would like to use for a BIAB system. Unless someone has a better idea.

I haven't seen anyone post that specific PID on this board - most seem to use the Auber Instruments PIDs. That may just be the hive-mind continuum, but they make great products and have good customer service.

I'm with Kevin on Auber. There are certainly other PIDs, and some of them have been used in builds documented here. The question is, how much do you value your time and hassle factor? Going with a well-understood PID will almost certainly reduce both.

Also, you may find, for example, that the probe length is not correct for how you want to use it, or you want a more "deluxe cable" that is jacketed and includes mating hardware.
