I went to homedepot and got the 2000watt one for 10 bucks, works great. I do get some caking on the element, but i don't even bother with it. The 2000 watt element already takes some time to get the wort boiling again, i can't imagine how long it would take with 15% less watts.
The OP was looking at RIMS for maintaining mash temp. Are you using this element in a brew kettle? What size boils?
Right. Is the 1700W powerful enough to step mash?
