So, I am ready to begin on a new brew stand next week. I brew 5 gallon and want to move up to 10 gallon batches. The original plan was to base the design on SouthernYankee's single tier propane, however a few days ago I started thinking that I woule really like to have the ability to brew indoors and started reading about electric set-ups and would like to go this route if at all possible with a reasonable expense. I have an open 30A breaker that I can run wiring to a GE Spa box in my basement. I have read a lot on the electric brewery and its awesome, just out of my price range.
Goal:
Begin with a basic electric system that I can expand to a three vessel system without having to re-buy or replace parts as I expand.
Here's what I have now:
Two keggles for HLT and BK
Coleman Xtreme for MLT (eventually plan on replacing with another keggle)
1 1/2" steel for brew stand
Here's what I am thinking I need for electric:
Convert HLT to ekeggle (weldless element using POL's design) 5500W
Convert BK to ekeggle (weldless) 4500W
pump(s)
GE Spa Panel for GFCI
30A outlet (3 wire or 4 wire, not sure)
Temp module?
Control panel-this is where I need the most help and basically clueless. Can anyone suggest parts needed? I know I am asking alot, just need some help and direction.
Thanks!
