I ran into a small hitch in my RIMS plan. My brewing area is only on a 15A circuit. I pulled an outlet and it is 14gauge wire, not 12 so I guess I'm stuck with 15A.
I assume it's ok to use a higher rated element at lower voltage. I'm thinking about using this element http://bostonheatingsupply.com/SP10869ML.aspx
it's a 240V 4500W element. based on my calculations it should be 1125W at 120V and only pull ~9.5A.
Any forseeable problems with this?
