This thread is to help me plan and build a new simple electric 30a ebiab build. Since I live in Canada, I would like to get the parts all figured out before I order them to minimize trips across the border and duty fees.
Thanks to all the other ebiab builders that have documented their threads in the past and P-J for the highly detailed electrical diagrams.
Design:
I am looking to start off as simple as possible, without pumps or a basket. I am also wanting it to be portable since I will be brewing at both my home and cottage.
1x portable spa panel GFCI with long 10/4 extension.
1x control box exactly the same as johnodon's(Thanks Johnodon!) with an added temp alarm and off switch
1x mega pot with welded 5500w element, 1/2' dump valve, and temp probe
1x 50 ft Copper Immersion Chiller
Link to P-J's control panel wiring schematic designed for Johonodon that I plan to use:

Parts List
I will update the list with every bolt, nut and screw I use, along with the source and cost.
If anyone has any advice on my build, a better place to get the parts, parts that I am missing or just recommendations on how not to zap myself, it is greatly Appreciated!
