Bloomin stupid I am

[PD]

Last week I bought a temp controller for my new hlt after Christmas so that the kettle elements can be controlled. I've fixed it to the wall and measured the garage temps with the probe........

I've kept saying to myself I wish I could try the control function out.......for 3 days I've been saying that......

I've just thought if I turn the internal thermostat up to full on my old tea urn boiler. plug it into the controller...er it should work..... :? :? :?

How stoopid can you get......!!!

will have a play later. :whistle: :whistle:

Fascinating to watch the temps as the controller switches the elements on and off. As much as 67-7 degrees difference to the set temperatures
Makes a bit of a mockery with brewing soft wear saying temps of strike water to be ( say ) 75.9C.......

Is that 67-7....should that 70c. That's a big range.

I think it was 6-7 degrees different from the temperature you actually set :)

sorry my mistake typing should read 6-7 degrees difference from set temp.

I use a ATC800+ for my ferm fridge....and that only has +..- 1c
Can't you set yours to something like that?

 

[PD]

I meant on this test which used the tea urn boiler with its own element, I bypassed its internal thermostat and controlled it by the tlz-11. As it switched the elements on and off, there was probably 6 degrees of " play " in the water temps as it went up and down accordingly.
The set point can be set to point one of a degree but there's always going to be a delay in the water temps reacting to it, unless you fit a cooling device in the hlt as well of course.
