I might need a reality check.
I do eBIAB with an Avantco IC3500 induction plate and recirculation. At the 500 watt setting, the temp slowly climbs about 1degF every 5 minutes or so with the lid off. Currently, I have to monitor the temp and shut it off for a few minutes and turn it back on to 500-1200W depending on how distracted I had just been, wait a few minutes and shut it back off, repeat. It’s not productive to babysit and I’d like to improve.
I have a perfectly good inkbird that recently started collecting dust and I’m wondering if (or how best) I can use it for my mash. These Avantco induction plates are complicated to control directly (see this brave soul: Avantco IC3500 Induction Burner Hacked by an Arduino). My idea was to leave the induction plate on at 500W (lowest setting) and apply some cooling with the inkbird. Maybe it’s as simple as a fan blowing across the top that the inkbird turns on as the mash gets too warm.
What’s this crowd’s thoughts? TIA
