Hey dudes,
I'm new here, be gentle.
I've just picked up an older DC Mini (pre analogue temp adjustment knob, exposed group) and would like to retro-fit a simple PID controller to manage group temp.
there is a PID kit online for a modest price, comes with SSR etc too which is handy:

kicker is it does not come with a relevant wiring harness to hook it up, and I'm unsure as to how to go about fitting the thermocouple to the brew boiler.
any ideas, or has anyone had a crack at this? I know there is some kits for Silvia's out there, but they are pricey and shipping is a downer.
TiA, benny
