i'm toying with not putting the alarm connection on the Mash PID.. and using the space for something else.. it gives a running assessment of the mash temp but for what reason would you use the alarm?

When the HLT has reached target temp, it will take some time for the mash to reach the same temp, so a separate alarm makes sense.
I wonder if the MLT alarm could also be connected to trigger the timer, so that mash steps are timed from the point they reach temperature.
silversppons, what do you have in mind as a replacement for the mlt alarm switch?

Right now i do single infusion mash in a cooler and have a fully immersible probe attached to the PID to monitor the temp over the period of the mash. i think i'll put it in as Kal said to balance of the display and maybe for future uses.
