I have been thinking about getting a heating element to heat my mash/sparge water. However i don't want to drill a hole in my kettles. Can i put one in my bottling bucket? The idea is to measure out what water i need and plug in the heating element to my temp controller. In theory it would keep my water at perfect temp while i grind grain. But idk about the plastic. The hottest (sparge) the water would get is around 180-190. Can a bucket handle this without leeching chemicals?
Also i would need a small element. How would i wire up a 220v element to work in my 110v outlet?
Thanks ahead of time and im sorry if my questions are dumb.
