This makes so much more sense. Thank you for sharing. It'll get me up and running on 240V and if I ever move later down the road (unlikely), I can make the pigtail you suggested to still be able to brew on 120V. I appreciate you.

Thank you. So ultimately I'll have to make an adapter? Or as some have implied, have a licensed electrician make an adapter for me?

Excuse my ignorance, but assuming that I swap out the 40 amp breaker with a 30 amp GFCI, would this work for running my Foundry on 240...

For the record, the outlet was installed by a friend who spent 15 years as an electrician before switching to the low voltage side. I posted on here because I know there are great people on here much more knowledgeable than I am on the subject and was only trying to educate myself.

So if I swapped in a 20 or 30 amp GFCI breaker, I could use these same items, except I would need a 14-30 plug adapter instead? Is 12/2 good enough?

I appreciate you taking the time to answer. This really helped me understand where some people were coming from.

Thanks for the explanation. I appreciate it!

Good to know. Thanks!

I appreciate you taking the time to answer. I took from your answer that this must be a no-no. I wish you would have told me why though.

Thank you for the information. I appreciate it. If it were your house, how would you change it? Change the receptacle to 50 amp? Change the breaker to GFCI 30 amp? Rip it out the receptacle and breaker and put something else in? As I said, I’m not an electrician and the last thing I would want...

Greetings! I have a 10 Gallon Anvil Foundry and want to switch to using 240V. I just ran 100 feet of 8/3 Romex to my garage, added a 40 amp breaker to my panel, and installed a 30 amp 14-30 dryer receptacle. My thought was it could potentially be used for an EV down the road. I don’t want to cut...

I’m prepping a corner space in my garage now. Installed a 240V outlet, plywooded the walls, and installed vinyl sheet flooring on them. The rest of my garage is unfinished. How concerned should I be about contamination while cooling the wort? I watched a video with John Palmer who talked about...

Thanks for all the advice and good humor. It was definitely a weed, and not the good kind. I’m quite a bit disappointed as only the two of nine sprouted and are thriving. Northern Brewer suggested it was root rot from over watering, but I know I didn’t over water. I dug them up and all were...

Definitely increases the breeding time! Lol

I think that’s the best course of action, especially since I’ve seen images of baby hop plants like this one… makes me believe it may be hops.
