Plug 30 amp portable subpanel into the 50 amp, that way you have a 30 amp breaker. Then use the 30 amp cord with built in GFCI to power the brew-rig in whatever fashion you want.
Ahh, I got ya now.
I think if I were to go this rout I would spring for the GFCI breaker in the sub panel as I hope to, one day, have my own place in which to install it. However I think I am gonna have do some more reading about these type of panels before I get too carried away.
For some reason it just seems like a bad idea to have two breakers wired in series together. However, I am having a hard time convincing myself one way or the other.
