Ok, I have a keggle for 10g batches, and I am going electric. I have a lot of experience working with 110v, gfci, and plumbing/construction, but not 220v although I still understand it. I also have access to a TIG welder. Electrical requirement here will be for the boil kettle only, everything else runs (mill, pump, fan, etc) of the 110v in the brewing area.
Here are some questions:
1. The brewing area is approximately 25-30 feet from the nearest 220v 30a circuit. What is the feasibility of running a 220-v extension cord (obviously the right guage and not coiling it up)
2. What kind of cord (I can built it) would be best suited for this purpose (in Canada) as it will need to go down the stairs and over one room, then be gently stowed when not in use.
3. what is the suggested wattage of the element? Faster is better. Control will be via Auber PID so I can use the element for recirc during mash.
thank you
