pids

[prolix]

It seems that I am being dragged still further in and now feel the urge to buy pids and silicone tubing and even more shiny connectors from Kiowa.

I have a question about pids though. There are some on ebay from china at about £25 here

would these be ok they seem to take pt100 probes and do all the things I have read, they will only be used to heat the strike water and batch water to save me poxying around, was going to recirculate HLT and take temp at exit, then later maybe do same with mash Tun with a heat exchanger thrown in

I should not have seen the Butus 10 it is going to cost me :shock:

There are some skilled people out there. Or people with a lot of time on their hands. Or both.

Either way the build section highlights the fact that it didn't just spring up over night... there was an interesting picture in there though, I think Aleman's moonlighting across the pond:

I have just gone to Pid's highwayman, It's not that much of a drak art just need to get it wired and set up, then life is a doddle. Strike temp is easy to acheive and don't have to worry about being around to check temps, and the Herms Pid well set the mash and walk away never have to worry about losing temp in the mash!
Come join us on the darker side of dark

The darker side...I like that :twisted:
Funny how it gets shinier on the darker side :lol:

I think it refers to the glasses you need to stop the glare.

Or you could pre heat and properly insulate your mash tun and not have to worry about losing temperature

More buffing required me thinks :lol:

You'll always lose temperature in a system which can't re-introduce losses. A HERMS system will allow you to maintain/compensate your set temp, whatever external factors may be applied within reason. For the majority of homebrewers it's unimportant, as long as the losses aren't too great.
