Gl!

Hello all, I was unable to find any information on the forum, perhaps some of you can help. My SSRs seem to be creating a fair amount of heat. Not being too fond of adding a fan to the enclosure, I was planning on mounting an external heatsink. Do you think it could cause problems considering...

Hey all, I'm looking for a (or two) 120V 2000W elements (LWD preferably). If you'd be willing to sell and ship to Montreal Canada, please let me know!!! thank you!

^^on the same note. I just ordered this from morebeer (10$ off today) http://morebeer.com/view_product/16769

Yeah, for the element. I had to go online. I used a copper rheem element. Cost around 20 with shipping, which is quite ok considering how hard it is to find stuff here.

Exactly! However, with the basket you loose the potential of using more grain (less dead space), but I feel more confident with the use of a basket when having an element at the bottom of the kettle. If you have access to 240V, then go ahead with a larger pot = more possibilities!

I think we're on the same level. I'll be glad to lend you some help if you've got any questions! As you can see from the first page of this thread, I've done some stuff that dreadfully wrong according to some, so if you are going to go my route, make sure you bring over these safety changes...

@deadcactus: actually there is not thermowell. I used an rtd which I installed at the outlet of my ball valve using a T fitting (http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20_15&products_id=189&zenid=018a9da82ff922922ef17e21d8d7c4e8). Because I continously recirculate (strike...

U guys are right. Ill fix the problem. Thnx

Once again, these are important details which I had not envisioned during the build. I am aware of the potential hazard of having unconnected power cords and the fact that having male connectors on them is far from smart. However, by respecting a simple connection procedure (1- connect element...

Yeah...because all my cables are removable. I make sure to plug the element cord before the control panel cord. Its a good point which I had not thought through.
