Cns someone tell me a good basic electric heating system for a boil
Read read read...best advise I can offer. Simple is just as hard as a proper setup, it seems. You start simple but then say "Well if I'm doing this, I should do this..." I need this to control it, so why not do this instead, etc. Read every build thread you can.
The simplest is probably heatsticks, but definitely they have the highest failure rate, and when an electrical item fails in water, it'll likely be shorting out, shorting out something that's pulling 15+ amps in a pot holding 10 gallons of water that you're likely close to touching, probably not an amazing thing for life expectancy
Do it safe, and do it thorough, don't cut corners. But yeah, read everything here like three times and that'll get you on the right track
For an education, I highly recommend reading www.theelectricbrewery.com.
If the stick is properly made, grounded and connected to a GFCI protected circuit, it is safe. And element built in can fail too, you know.
