Nice, I was looking at the ebrew supply controller and really like the emergency stop feature. But not for an extra $500. When I'm ready to order I think I'll reach out and see if they can add that feature. I like the look of the Grounded cbrewing controller as well, and those PID's look amazing.

You also may want to take a look into the Hosehead by brewtronix. It’s RasyPi based controller

Just for my learning...what about the PID's is impressive?

The Omron brand PID's have a cleaner look to them compared to the Auber which has been the standard. Auber does have a long history of quality though, not sure on the Omron, but it isn't the most expensive part to replace if needed.

Also check out the E Brewing Supply PIDs. Its whta they use in all their controllers and i've never heard any negatives about the controllers, therefore the PIDs must be top notch as well. I love the extra large display and simple layout

Wow, bang for the buck, these look like the way to go. I like the clean, logical layout too. I'm waiting until spring to see what the next batch of stuff from SS Brewtech looks like and if they have something cost effective that I can't live without, but if I don't go with them, this looks to be the best way to go.

Highly rec. grounded brewing panel. 10% off with SCB10 code(short circuited Brewer).

I'm intrigued. Do you have experience?

Ss brewtech uses omron pids

Yes, it’s the controller I went with. I’m in middle of brewery/cigar room build. I should be set back up by end of next month.

I just got mine set up a few months ago, I like it a lot. I got the Hosehead 5BC for my 20 gal eHERMS system. Ive done 5 brews on it and its pretty slick; it's cool controlling the pumps & elements from my iPhone or laptop. My set up has a small glitch (most likely a fluke), but Corey (the owner) is working with me tirelessly to trouble shoot it, I couldn't ask for better customer service...
