Thanks for all the comments. A spdt is what I was thinking of when I said a two postition switch. Knowing the right terminology helps a lot. I am going to try this route first and see if once its boiling 1350W will keep it boiling. Second option will be creating my own on off cycling...

Thanks for the reply! I have a control panel using two Ranco temp controllers. I'd rather not spend the money on two new PIDS if I can avoid it. I found a switch for $11, vs two new PIDS at $30 each. Do you know how the PIDS control the output? Do they use PWM or does it change the...

I built my first electric brewery several years ago. I recently moved, and decided it was time to clean the system up, do some rewiring, and replace some old parts. I am upgrading the elements from 4000W to 5500W. Even with the 4000W burners, during the beginning of the boil it would get a...
