Currently I have one 1500w element and a 2000w element. The 1500w element is through a Ranco controller. Ideally I would like to upgrade that to a 2000w element so I would have 2 2000w elements run at the same time. My system is a brutus 20. I would like the combined power of the two to decrease the amount of time it takes to reach mash/boiling temperatures. I have two 20a services available to me. My issue is that I would like to have those two running off of one PID. Not sure how to wire that up. I know there are some really good schematics on here. However they are all 240v. Here is how I would like it to look:
-Two 20a 120v circuits
-One PID
-2 25a SSR
-2 25a Heatsinks
-switches for:
two pumps
each element
Main power
I would power up the PID to mash temp. This would turn on the two elements to heat the water. I would transfer water to mash tun and add grain and start recirculating. Few steps forward. When it's time to boil. I would like to set the temp to 212 and start my boil. If anyone knows of a schematic or would be able to draw one up I would appreciate it. I'm not good at drawing them. However I understand them and can wire. Also, any suggestions are appreciate it.
