Thanks for the heads up. I figured I was missing something.

Hi i was wondering if anyone has used something like this to hook up their electric brewing area? https://www.zoro.com/connecticut-electric-outdoor-power-outlet-120v-30a-cesmpsc41grhr/i/G3149027/ I can't tell from the product page if both the 240v and the 120v outlet are gfci protected or...

Do people with experience with the hotpod like the product? I was kind of set on the stilldragon element guard. http://stilldragon.com/index.php/accessories/element-connections/element-guard-kit.html Just seems more solid and possible more water tight to me without seeing either one in person.

So I have decided upon using the diy still dragon controller kit for controlling my hlt and my brew kettle. I am just using one controller that I plug/unplug the hlt and brew kettle when needed. So all i really need is 1 gfci protected 240v outlet and I will be ready to go. Conveniently we...

I currently have the 44qt bayou classic as my hlt: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VXHKMC/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 The pot is 13.5 inches in diameter. My brew kettle is the same diameter as well. I would like to add the stilldragon wells triclamp bulkhead to these pots to install my...

I'm planning on brewing a sweet tea IPA. I would like it to be a little bit sweeter than a normal IPA to mimic sweet tea a little bit. I don't want it to be sickeningly sweet just a touch so its not like drinking a cup of black tea. I am planning on mashing at a higher temp to kick up the...

Count me in as well. Thank you.

Although I do want a pretty bare bones set up I do want some rudimentary control over the power level of the element so although it might be possible to size the element to my system I dont think it is the best option for me. As suggested before I may just use one still Dragon kit and...

Thank you all for your input I really appreciate all the great info. Right now I am leaning towards buying 2 still Dragon controller boxes one for my hlt and one for my brew kettle. With the instructions that come with those do you guys think a novice could throw them together? I currently have...

I currently have a basic 5 gallon all grain propane set up. 12 gallon pot as my hlt a round igloo cooler for my mash tun and a 9 gallon pot as my brew kettle. I would like to be able to heat my hlt and my brew kettle using electric elements rather than propane. I don't care about warning...

Sorry i was mostly answering the response above yours. I am looking to brew american style ales. Sometimes high gravity beers. I am currently just looking to upgrade my 5 gallon propane all grain system. Also about $400 is my max right now.

I have no background in wiring or electric so i just want something simple that won't burn my house down or electrocute me while i'm brewing. I don't think i have the experience to build a true pid.

I want to make a super simple electric system and then slowly upgrade. I'm not electrically inclined and was wondering why I couldn't buy the following two components to create a rudimentary electric system with some controllability (not just off or on). I want to take two elements like this...
