Hoping to upgrade to an e-brew setup this year. We have a fuse box instead of a breaker panel and the swmbo has vetoed the idea of upgrading the panel just for me to brew with. So, I'm trying to figure out what amperage my main panel is. What should I be looking for?
I know that I have one 20a circuit and one 15a circuit to use in my workshop and it's possible that I could get the 15a upgraded to a 20a service. But if I'm going to be paying a dude to run wire and upgrade I was thinking just putting in a 50a outlet might be cheaper as the main panel as about 18" away on the other side of a wall.
Just hoping that this idea doesn't get priced out of "oh hell no" range at the outset.
