I'm building a pretty large E-system with 2" RIMS tube, a 5500W Blichmann Boil Coil in the BK and 2 Pumps. I have a couple questions.
First, is it worth having a controller for the Boil Coil? With its 'less than ultra low watt density,' I can't think of why I wouldn't just want it 'ON.'
Second, with the above answer in mind, I am wondering which, if any, from the collection of PJ (or another) wiring diagrams would work best?
I haven't decided on which wattage RIMS element I will use yet. It kind of hurts to think on putting a tiny little element in my huge RIMS tube (huh-huh, that's what she said). However, I think it would speed things up if I could start heating the BK as soon as the element is submerged. Which would mean both elements would be on at the same time. I could live without this ability though as it would be a relatively short.
