Another noob diving in to electric brewing, so forgive my ignorance.
Am I correct in assuming that with the below heating element (5500w 240v) that a 10 gauge electrical cord (10 ft at most) will be required and a 30amp dedicated circuit for each element?
I have plenty of room for the circuits on my panel so I am not limited by space. I am planning on using two of these to build heat sticks. One heat stick for the HLT which will be part of an eHERMS build (with the pumps on a separate circuit). The other will be used in the boil kettle.
