So obviously I am looking at something a bit large. I have a big brew kettle that will take four 5500w heating elements. The beer making aspect, I am not too worried about. What I know very little about is the electrical controlling of said elements.
For simplicity, let's just focus on the kettle and ignore the mash tun, etc. I know that I will need a 40 amp SSR/heat sink per element. I also plan on just using a simple PID.
What else do I need to hook it all up as simply as possible? Can they all just be hooked up in a series? Obviously I am not going to be doing the actual hooking up because I am an electrical newbie, but I want to buy everything I need.
Thanks for your help!
