I've ran into an issue of wort scorching onto my elements in my ekettle (I run 2 x 2000w HWD 120v elements to boil 7 gallons). This is probably becuase I didn't really do a great job of cleaning my elements after each boil, I basically just rinsed them off. This scorching essentially ruined 3 batches of beer before I realized the elements had developed a cake of flaking black buildup.
I'm in the process of replaceing my elements with new ones, but I cant find 2000w 120v LWD or ULWD elements online or elsewhere. It seems only HWD elements are available in the 2000w 120v format.
I've read somewhere about running a 240v element with 120v. If i do that, can I use a 4500w (or 4000w) element at 120v to get the wattage down to 2000w and also get the benefit of ULWD/LWD?
Thanks for the help.
