Hey guys,
I have been googling this for a little while, but haven't find an answer that I think quite fits what I'm asking.
My wife and I are in the process of buying a house, and once we do I want to build an electric set up. There's not enough room in the box for a dedicated line, so I was going to steal from the drier when brewing.
The thing is the drier plug is 3 prong vs a 4 prong. I would really like the functionality of a 4 prong, so I was wondering just how complicated this is to change out. Would it require an electrician or myself ripping through dry wall?
From my understanding the 4 prong separates out the ground wire from the neutral wire. Could that be snaked from the nearby 120v outlet?
Thanks guys!
