  I recently brewed a Hefe with a 2 liter starter of SN Kellerweis yeast. I fermented around 70
  degrees in an open bucket, and the beer went from 1.048 to 1.010 in 2 days. I kegged on day 4,

  Handware and using a 1500 watt 120v element. I already have two of these auber PIDs that I was

  -I used the Extra low watt density 1500w 120v element from plummers supply. It was small, and

  So, trigger, how's the heating element treating you after 7+ months of use? Is this the element
