I'm trying to build the cheapest possible single Kettle BIAB setup for 5 gallon batches. Any input from someone who actually knows what they're doing would be much appreciated!
Parts List:
Heater Element: http://www.amazon.com/Camco-02963-Screw-In-Ripple-Element/dp/B000BPG4LI
Kettle: http://www.amazon.com/Winware-Stainless-Steel-Quart-Stock/dp/B001AS81BQ/ref=sr_1_cc_4?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1420058588&sr=1-4-catcorr&keywords=%5Cbrew+kettle+32+quart
PID: http://www.amazon.com/REX-C700-Thermocouple-Thermostat-Temperature-Controller/dp/B00MMZQOTC/ref=sr_1_2?
SSR: http://www.amazon.com/40A-SSR-Solid-State-Relay/dp/B005KPIX9A/ref=sr_1_1?
Power Cord: http://www.amazon.com/PETRA-90-1024-3-Wire-Dryer-6-Foot/dp/B00009W3PA/ref=sr_1_1?
Is there anything that I could do cheaper while still being functional? I'm looking to do this as cheaply as possible. if there's anything more that would make it work better that's worth the money? (Other than hardware and tools to punch holes) Any suggestions on good substitutions? I have a few decent K-type Thermocouples that will work with the controller already.
Thanks for your help!
