I'm looking into electric brewing. I'd like to put a 4500w or 5500w element in my 15 gallon kettle (I brew 8 gallon batches) and use it for heating strike and sparge water, as well as for the boil. I'm going to use a 220v line. I realize I need a PID with manual mode for the boil, especially with a 5500w element. I'm thinking I can use a 25A SSR.
I know a few people have talked about the MyPin PIDs you can find on eBay. Right now there are "package deals" with a TD4 or TD6 and a 25A SSR. They go for $37 or so shipped, from USA sellers (which I realize doesn't mean they're necessarily more reputable than a direct-from-China seller). I've found information about how to program the TD's for manual mode.
Is there a definite advantage to getting an Auber SYL-2352 for a bit more money? Have the MyPin models been working for anybody here?
