It's a 20 gallon aluminum stock pot. Super thick walls. I can look up the mfg if you'd like, but I'm stuck at work now...

You have a 4-wire power source. If you want a disconnect at the spa panel, you need a 4-wire outlet and 4-wire power cord. There is no point in having the outlet if the GND is hard wired.
I am not an expert on code, but if you have the brewery controls hard wired then it has to meet NEC code. If it has a cord, then it is an appliance. Inspectors and insurance companies care about this stuff.
FYI, I have the 40qt Winware AL kettle. Works great for 5 gallon BIAB, it's cheap, and easy to modify. |

Gotcha. I need a plug to disconnect the control panel from the spa panel for it to be an "appliance". I thought that since I had a plug on the input side of the spa panel it would be the same.
Either way, I think it will be of use to have that disconnect. I'll spec some things out and run them by the sparkys here.
Thanks!

Are you keeping the bag off the element some how?
Also It looks like the pump in and out to the kettle is up top. Do those go inside or outside of the bag? Wondering if the pump generates enough suction to pull the bag into the inlet?

Currently not keeping the bag off the element. I've had no problems with melting the bag or any flavors while mashing...
The pump out from kettle is on the bottom, and the two ports on the top are different returns. The QD is the Chiller Return, and the normal return is the Recirculation Return. The pump has a 3way ball valve to select which patch to go thro!
