PID temp controllers are also used a lot in homebrewing especially for controlling mash temperature.
You can use the PID to maintain the temperature of the wort at ~65C by passing the wort through a heating element and a temperature probe (this is called Recirculating Infusion Mash System).
- michael_h 11y agoI've found that the mashing temperature of the venerable 'huge cooler wrapped in bath towels' is unbelievably stable.
- deutronium 11y agoYeah, that's true, although using RIMS/HERMS lets you performed stepped mashes too and to some degree helps with clarity as the wort is constantly filtered through the grain bed.
- ascorbic 11y agoAgreed. Much as I love shiny kit, and RIMS/HERMS seems fun, I've never had my big cooler mash tun drop by even one degree C over 90 minutes, even without bath towels.
