I've heard of people using some sort of electric heater that gets immersed in the wort to boil it, and heat water. Anyone know more about those? Where to find them? How efficient they are in comparison to propane?
Do you use two wands as that does? Just one? Sorry, I am planning on doing this and am thinking best/most efficient way to. Thanks!
I'm going to have to come back to this. How much are we looking at to build one of those?
Can you make these the 15amp three prong adapter?
Would it be a good idea to use a heat stick for the HLT for the sparge, instead of pouring water from a brew pot heated on the stove/burner into to the HLT?
I can run a brew session on my system for $1.32 in electric costs running 5500W. No way I can get close to that with gas.
You could also get a GFCI breaker to do the same thing for the whole circuit.
If you do have two circuits in there (one on each hot leg) and they are going to neutral you are going to overload the neutral leg when you have it all running at once. It would be better to actually run some elements meant for 240 and get the proper plugs for them.
