For a still. No. You want an SCR for a still. Would be alright for a fermenter though.

Whats an Scr?

You're making the typical newbie mistake of assuming that you can control temperature in a still. You need to understand why you can't before you spend any money, or try to distill anything.

Google it. I'm not going to do your research for you. Go over to the build thread and look at controllers. Crankys and jimbos are good ones.
