first boil with the 5500 no scorching but some build up on the element. Boil at 65% in 40deg garage with no problem. 2nd keggel here now will try to find a ULWD element and use for boil and usw original for HLT.
LKHA, did you try calling me tonight? It looked like your #, no message though
i just bought a HWD 2000W 120V element for a heat stick to aid in the boil of my gas stovetop. it should be ready tuesday for a brew day.
I'm an extract brewer at the moment, is there any way to test this stick for scorching before using it in a batch? are there any physical identifiers associated with scorching? residue on the heat stick? etc?
Hey CR, slightly off topic: how is the element attached to the kettle? I was thinking about having a 1" NPT nut welded on, but yours doesn't quite look like that.
Thanks,
-Joe
CR: So, the conclusion here is that HD elements are no problem?
How do you control the element to only 80% of its power ??
