Has anyone on this list come up with an interlock circuit to let them run more than one 5500 watt element on a 30 Amp circuit at a time?
I'm asking because when my mash hits the right temperature my RIMS tube PID light flashes on / off quick but most of the time the light is off. This tells me that most of the time my RIMS tube element is off.
There should be a way to turn another element on during my RIMS tube element off cycles. Kegkits claims to be doing this in their brew panel http://goo.gl/SGWgUK. I want to know how his circuit works so I can add one to my brew panel and heat my sparge water during my mash. Right now I'm heating my sparge water after my mash is done and I don't lose too much heat because my mash tun is a 10 gallon GOTT cooler, but I could save a lot of time if my sparge water were waiting for my mash to complete.
