Hi folks

I've been collecting parts for a controller and with payday being tomorrow I'm hoping to get the last of the stuff ordered so I can assemble it. There have been some changes in design so I just need to know if I'm on the right lines and what I'm missing.

I'm looking to make a clawhammer style set up, one vessel with an element and a pump. So the controller at least in my head is a box with a pid, a power cable and two plug sockets, one socket for the element to be controlled by the pid and the other for the pump.
I have the pid, ssr, heatsink and probe. I have previously been told to get an MCB and a contactor so I did.
I know I need an enclosure, wire, plug sockets. Am I missing anything else? I don't want lights or anything, it just needs to plug into the mains, maintain mash temp and boil.

Cheers
