I've checked through many threads but failed to see anything on this.
Basically I want to shift from Gas to electric, and I also want to increase my brew size. So I'm wondering if there is any guidance anywhere here, or else where on how to match the element size to the size of the boil kettle, ie what watts are required for what litres? I see that a 10 galllon kettle has been fitted with a 4550watts heating element on one thread. I looking at brewing about 200litres (or 45 gallons).
Apologies if this is already on a thread somewhere.
