Landlord.
I am in the process of building an electric BIAB system in a 56 litre pot.
I will be using a malt basket, a 2.5kw heater element and will re-circulate the mash with an electric pump, there will be a bi metal strip thermometer a little above the drain tap.
I will be controlling the temperature with an Inkbird iPB 16-s and am wondering the beat place to site thermostat, currently thinking of having a T piece just before the recirculation goes back in the top of the mash, but could equally go just after the drain tap or for that matter in the kettle itself.
Does anyone with experience of such systems have any strong opinions on the best place to site the Inkbird thermometer as it controls the power of the heater?
